The more you learn.............

The more you learn about a specific topic,
the more you realize how little you know.

If this is true, which it is, the opposite is also true: The less you know about that topic, the more you believe you know 'everything' about it!

That is the root of all prejudice. Think about it! Let's say you live ion area where there are a few people of a certain ethnicity. You hear of one person from that group and find out he is an alcoholic. And that's the ONLY thing you know. It is very easy to say: This guy is an alcoholic. This guy belongs to the ethnic group X. Ergo, people of this ethnic group are all alcoholics!

That's what's causing prejudice.
Education - learning - is the only weapon!

It is like in this country, that people who are NOT believers (in that which has no evidence) are like gay people were in the 80's and 90's: In the closet, willing to come out but still scared, and much more numerous than previously thought. If you are open-minded, this is the book to read. It was a New York Times Bestseller Book and has received much acclaim. Strongly recommended. Read an excerpt here!

Naked Lies

The McCain campaign has finally admitted that this election is about change.

Their new ad uses what news organizations are calling "naked lies" to reinvent two politicians whose records embody the same culture of corruption and far-right policies we've seen from the Bush administration.

The biggest whopper in the ad (that's still being repeated day after day by McCain and Palin on the campaign trail) is that Governor Palin stopped the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" -- in fact, she supported it, and even hired a lobbyist in Washington to get more pork-barrel projects like it.

Enough of the lies, enough of the Bush years, time for a change.

Please volunteer for real change!
