"In this country, the blacks vote black. The Jews vote Jewish. Only the White people are stupid enough to divide themselves & cancel each other out into little Republican & Democrat teams”
In this world homo sapiens don’t question, they merely accept. For example: Do you think that humans need to change?
An affirmative prompts the query: Then how might that to be achieved?
Whilst a negative initiates the enquiry: Isn't that indicative of being part of the problem, rather than part of the solution? Or rephrased: Changing the world is simply a matter of changing the minds of all the people on it. Or alternatively, as Uncle Albert (Einstein) observed: “We shall require a substantially new way of thinking, if (hu)mankind is to survive”.
