I Have Respect For The Past, But

Whining Lets The Brute Know There's A Victim For Him In The Neighborhood!

Tragedy, No Matter How Sad, Becomes Boring To Those Not Caught In Its Addictive Caress.

Oh, The Holiness Of Always Being The Injured Party. The Historically Oppressed Can Find Not Only Sanctity But Safety In The Stateof Victimization. When Access To A Better Life Has Been Denied Often Enough, And Successfully Enough, One Can Use The Rejection As An Excuse To Cease All Efforts. After All, One Reckons, "they" Don't Want Me, "they" Accept Their Own Mediocrity And Refuse My Best, "they" Don't Deserve Me.

How Important It Is For Us To Recognize And Celebrate Our Heroes And She-roes!

We Do The Best We Can With What We Know, And When We Know Better, We Do Better.
