I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree that the idea of building "alliances based not on race, ethnicity, color, nationality, sexual preference or gender, but on Truth" is powerful.I feel like anyone, Obama or Clinton supporter, can learn a lot from what she has to say.

One thing made me tear up: "build alliances based not on race, ethnicity, color, nationality, sexual preference or gender, but on Truth. build alliances based not on race, ethnicity, color, nationality, sexual preference or gender, but on Truth." Exactly. We are fooled far less when we look for the Truth, which is always there. I think we all have an inner detector which knows the truth. People who discriminate know they are being wrong. They ignore this Truth, because they think they are getting some advantage to do so. The core of discrimination, it always seemed to me, was to shrink the pool. The pool of competition, for anything. I also believe fighting over the pie makes the pie smaller. Like the Republicans, and our economy. Thanks for sharing this, I will read the whole thing.
