First I would like to wish my son Jason a Happy 19th Birthday and let him know that I love him and that he is one of my very few genuine “Happy Thoughts”.  The phrase Happy Thoughts reminds me of the movie “Hook”, with Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts and a very talented cast

As I said in my last post, I’m appalled at the level of racism and bigotry in these United States and throughout the world.  I’m ashamed of my white ancestors, I’m offended by their actions and can’t conceive what moral or ethical values they thought they possessed when they would consider another race of human

Racism at its best or worst, that depending on what side of the fence you’re on and believe me, there is no middle ground.  Racism is running rampant through these United States, I see it everyday. What will it take for people to evolve to a point where they don’t base their hatred on the
