And in the wake of this great step away from racial divisiveness - it gives me hope maybe even political or any divisiveness may be overcome someday. <BR/><BR/>It's just a TED talk about liberals, conservatives, and how their ideologies are influenced by their basic moral values - and why both are necessary and good in their own way - a yin and yang more than competing right and wrong approaches. It showed me a little more understanding of "the other side" than I had before - which is something I thought you'd appreciate. <BR/><BR/>http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral_mind.html<BR/><BR/>(Beware some of the close minded comments attached to it though... they kind of hurt the heart, especially after listening to the intelligence and message of the talk =/)The John Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110871230342529374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-3870300925380752862008-11-10T10:35:00.000-08:002008-11-10T10:35:00.000-08:00I didn't really get through as it was a little sap...I didn't really get through as it was a little sappy.<BR/><BR/>I just want to make the point that he doesn't owe us as blacks ANYTHING. We owe him. We have to measure to the standard he set with this win.<BR/><BR/>I'm just so glad that I maintained and kept my tie on. I would feel really stupid shaking the first black President's hand with a tshirt and baggy, grubby jeans.<BR/><BR/>Though that's not to imply that white boys aren't as grubby. I went to buy a rain coat yesterday and Macy's was filled with clothes that looked like they just got pulled from a clothes hamper.<BR/><BR/>I think it's a plot by gay fashion designers to make the women hate the men. After all, womens' clothes are actually trendy and neat looking.<BR/><BR/>Wow, talk about going off on a tangent.Christian H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16847810167041864292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-36040648869102500042008-11-09T11:47:00.000-08:002008-11-09T11:47:00.000-08:00Beautiful.Beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
