Hate is still hate.
Greed is still greed
How do you treat others?
I don't give a damn about sexual orientation, race, background, male/female, old/young.. etc.
I learned the hard way, you cannot always trust people based on what we think they are,
It is what they really are.
I needed some money and I asked my rich cousin to loan me some.
I really trusted him, and I need it bad.
He said that if I ever needed that kind of help, he would be there.
I was severely depressed, and needed it to pay for a divorce settlement.
The rich cousin sent me to the bank to get the loan at 6 percent (early 90s)
My old friend, who happens to be gay, lent it to me. no percent
Where I worked, I met all kinds of people from all over the world.
I was a teacher.
Every kind of people. From Asia, South America, Europe,
Mexico, Puerto Rico, Africa..
There were Afro-Americans, and regular "whites from the old neigborhood"
every religion..every type of person.
You name it, they were there..
It was an accident of location,
That neighborhood High School, just happened to have 57 languages being spoken there.
I tried my best to listen and watch.
Some kids cheated, most were honest,
Some kids cared about others,
Many were selfish assholes.
I met people that stole,
I met people that gave.
I met a kid that killed,
I met kids that loved.
Me, I tried to do the best I could.
I tried to be fair to everyone.
Some teachers stayed after and helped,
Some left when the bell rang to leave.
You learn the truth about people,
Or, you don't learn.
Republicans, now, it seems...
Don't care
Don't tax the rich an additional one or two percent.
Don't help the so called, "poor"
It is their fault..
It is exactly the same,
Just listen to them carefully.
You will hear it.
It is the same.
It is about greed.
It is about hate.
I try not to hate.

Easy to overlook in the pursuit of political causes, but essential. Everybody has this choice.
