Loving societies treasure black, white, brown and albino people without exception or equivocation.
Hateful societies value rich people, and expect the rest of humankind to serve the rich.

Loving societies cherish women, men, intersex and transgender humans alike.
Hateful societies cherish select ingroups such as rich, white men, and damn the rest of humankind.

What kind of world do we want to live in? A world that believes kindness in the face of meanness is the ultimate courage and strength? Or a world that argues meanness is the true measure of strength?

What kind of society do we want to live in? A brutal society that kicks, beats, whips, tasers and shoots us because we ain't white rednecks? Or a compassionate society that values every human being regardless of gender, sexuality, race, religion, politics or profession?

Human intelligence is amazing because it has introduced me to critical and creative thinking, the challenge and satisfaction of logical, rational thinking as well as the joy and sorrow of reimagining paperclips as sentient lamp posts.

What kind of world do we want to create for ourselves? A world run by mega corporations and billionaires? Or a world in which every human has an equal and valued voice in our governance?

Before we are liberal, conservative or moderate, we are human beings doing the best we can to make sense of the world around us.

Great leaders earn respect because they understand genuine respect is given, not taken.

It is said the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Therefore, the needs of students outweighs the needs of greedy CEOs, who ironically depend on competent workers to fulfill their ambitions.
- 2-4 million CEOs vs 265 million colleges and university students.

Love produces feel good chemicals (i.e., dopamine and oxytocin) in the lover's brain and the loved one's brain.
Hate produces stress chemicals (i.e., cortisol) in the hater's brain and the hated's brain.

Before we are religious or irreligious, we are human beings endowed with the innate intelligence to learn everything we need to learn to decide what we are willing to believe and not believe.
