I didn't specifically mention "Intolerestas" or "Blind2020" etc.,
because I didn't feel that it was necessary;  I thought my point was
clear without making an itemized list.

Pointing blame also misses the point.  It sort of reminds me of a
conversation I heard in the streets of Moscow a few days ago, when two
boys were walking with their mother.

First Boy:  "Mom, he called me Goober again!"

Second Boy: "But he called me MonkeyButt FIRST!"

Sigh.

Remember the gospel song where the lyrics are something about loving
Him because he first loved me?  Well, maybe they will love us because
we first love them.  The love has to start somewhere.  If love is too
much to ask, then how about simple respect, for ourselves and for each
other? I'm not saying that it is necessarily possible to respect
everyone as individuals, but how about as human beings?

Pretty please?
