Trees got 'em. Holds 'em in the ground when the wind blows. Supply all the tree's needs except sun, air and water. We've got 'em too, though the current thought is that we should ignore our past, forget our embarassing heritage, and embrace some multicultural world where everybody is equal because we're all the same.
Diversity=Monoculture in some kind of weird 'doublethink', straight out Orwell's 1984. "War is Peace". Another good one. Only way we here in the good ol' USA can feel safe to sit home and watch our tvs is if we bomb the hell out of bunch of countries somewhere.
1984 was Orwell's nightmare. Brave New World was Huxley's dream. A drugged-up, desensitized populace loves their servitude. Or they are too distracted by clever entertainment, and brainwashed by the news media to even feel their chains.
We are encouraged, nay forced to examine ourselves. To divulge the inmost details of our lives to get a job or rent a house. I think we all wake up at 3 am and say, "Who the hell am I?" Or maybe 3 pm, as you watch whatever clock you have punched with your life, before quitting time finally arrives.
But make any moves toward finding where you *came from*, what your ancestors might think about your shabby little excuse for the freedom they fought and died for..you wind up on a list headed 'Domestic Terrorist Suspects'.
It's not fair. All the other guys get to be proud of who they are. I'm supposed to be ashamed to be 'White'? (I am actually a dark beige in person) My folk couldn't AFFORD slaves.
