  Why should some of them, such as those who would kill and otherwise harm those they perceive as enemies of their faiths.  Expects those of us who do not believe as they do, to question and challenge their beliefs?   On the basis of what we consider to be the fanciful and  improbable nature of these beliefs. I mean, the tell us that their God is a living, a seeing, a hearing and talking God.  And yet, we see no evidence of this. They call out and pray to their God, those of us who do not believe also call out to their God.  But we hear no response. We see no God. So they tell us that this God, their God works in mysterious ways.  That he works through what we have come to know as 'the middle men.'  And they tell us of the names of the prophets of old, of the saints of old.  They reach for their holy books.

  The struggle against racism, depending on the tactics and strategies being used by different generations, can generate both fear and hope, hostility and cooperation, better understanding and alienation.  A stronger sense of them and us, instead of we.

If, for example, the struggle against racism, is predicated on the basis that 'white people' all white people are basically or fundamentally racist, and/or the beneficiaries of racism.  And that black people, people of colour, indigenous peoples were and are the victims of racism.  Then, that begs the question as to how can such a grave wrong be put right?  After all, if some black and people of colour are of the opinion that all white people are racist, then how can they be made into not being 'racists'?  Similarly, if some black people are minded to think or believe that all the ancestors of today's white people were owners of black people who were bought as slaves.  Will they accep

  Many of us will be aware of the old adage that, 'there is nothing new under the Sun.'  A saying which is often used to attempt to disabuse a person or persons who are of the opinion that that they have come up with something new.  Something which nobody else has ever thought about or put into action.  Well, even though there are clearly some things, some inventions which had most probably not occurred or worked in the distant past, such as the invention and development of the computer micro-chip.  We still cannot be certain that others before the generation that invented and developed and put to word the micro-chip which I am currently making use of in doing this post.  Thought precedes the formulation or composition of a coherent idea, and that idea precedes a decision to test out the idea, by putting it into action. Providing the resources to do do, are extant. And  it is with this thought in mind that I often watch and reflect on how the current 'awoke' younger gen
