Great apology!

I did read the original exchange in @veralynn's blog, and I was a bit - erm- shocked at the heat of your reply. I think the issue arose from the fact you two were speaking different languages. You each had different definitions of "racism" and until you could agree on a definition, neither had an ability to understand. So glad you two took a step back, turned on Google Translate (as it were) and came to an understanding :

Judging another person or thinking less of them, or taking power over anyone for any reason is just plain wrong.

I think most of the wars, religious arguments, and fighting could be done away, if we just take a step back and figure out what is the other person or group really trying to say?

And then rejoice in their ability to have a unique opinion in this day and age.

Your wife is a wise woman (yes, I know her in real life). She had the ability to help you see the light and you actually listened to her! (This is a good reminder to all those men and women out there... Life is best not handled alone, but should be a partnership.)

I look forward to your next blog!
