On the Mack thingie What I probably should've mentioned, but didn't, was why I thought he should take down his peace sign. Contrary to popular belief, conflict isn't started or propogated by "bad people." Genuine bad people who are comfortable with causing harm of others for their own ends are few and far between, and simply couldn't start a real conflict on their own. What is required is people like Mack, who are willing to assume the worst about people other than themselves. It's the Macks of the world, not the Bushes (to use a common belief in Berkeley) who cause conflict in our world. Take a look at Israel-Palestine for the perfect example of assuming the worst about humans unlike oneself. posted by Beetle Aurora Drake 8/26/2003 11:41:00 AM # Comments (0) . . .
