We can easily forgive a child for being afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

-- Plato

Diversity can prevent stereotypes, tragedies

Inevitably, when a bad thing happens, you ask why the bad thing happened. Pretty soon, you formulate a hypothesis and share it with a few friends. Before you know it, the problem has been settled, for you at least, and shuffled to the back burner. And then, another bad thing happens.

On July 2, Benjamin Nathaniel Smith initiated a three-day shooting spree aimed at Jewish, black, and Asian people that left two people dead and at least four times as many wounded.



Aued argues that Milosevic should be tried for war crimes

There's a reason why they call Slobodan Milosevic the "Butcher of the Balkans." It's because he lives in the Balkans and he's butchered thousands of Kosovo Albanians. If I were King Herod, I would say "Bring me the head of Slobodan Milosevic on a silver platter!" Then I would collect the $5 million reward for his head.

Filipovic says Kosovo war criminals are a dime a dozen

The indictment of Slobodon Milosevic, president of Yugoslavia, the first ever sitting head of state to be indicted as a war criminal, would be a laughing matter if behind it was not the same superpower that does not allow the forming of the International Criminal Court. The evidence on which it is based is such fiction, that even a first year law student at Ole Miss, would demolish it with both hands tied behind his back. It would be thrown out of any U.S. Court. More likely it would not even get there.
