NORWAY-A SAD STORY: NAZISM IS ON THE RISE AGAIN

I WAS TERRIBLY SADDENED BY WHAT HAPPENED IN NORWAY AND IN MANY WAYS WAS NOT SURPRISED. I BELIEVE THAT NAZISM/WHITE SUPREMACY IS ON THE RISE AGAIN AND IT'S VERY DISHEARTENING. I WAS A VICTIM OF HARRASSMENT BY A "SKINHEAD NEO-NAZI" WHEN I LIVED IN FLORIDA. THEN, WHILE LIVING IN RURAL NC I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ETHNICITY IS TO BE "SCOTCH IRISH" & THAT TO FEEL ANY OTHER TIE TO ANY OTHER ETHNIC HERITAGE IS "UN-AMERICAN."

I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT SLAVERY IS MAKING A COMEBACK WORLDWIDE. THIS ALSO SADDENS, BUT ALAS DOES NOT SURPRISE ME. I FEEL MANY PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEEN NAIVE ABOUT THESE TWO ISSUES. IT'S SORT OF LIKE, "WELL, IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD." IT'S SAD TO SAY THAT MANY DON'T TAKE THINGS SERIOUSLY UNTIL IT GETS MUCH WORSE. I HOPE IT WON'T TAKE THAT LONG FOR PEOPLE TO SEE THE LIGHT. BY THEN, IT WILL BE TOO LATE. WE MAY FIND OURSELVES IN A CATASTROPHIC 3RD "WORLD WAR." THE LESSONS OF THE PAST ARE TOUGH, BUT WE MUST KEEP THE KNOWLEDGE OUR SUFFERING ENLIGHTENED US TOO. WAR IS WRONG. PEACEFUL SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX ISSUES SHOULD BE SOUGHT FIRST. AN ENLIGHTENMENT OF LOVE SHOULD BE PROMOTED BETWEEN ALL PEOPLE.

IT'S A CORNY OLD CLICHE-BUT "LOVE IS THE ANSWER-IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE QUESTION IS."
