Remember the phrase " Can't we all just get along?"It was uttered by Rodney King during horrible rioting. The rioting took place supposedly because of the beating Mr. King received at the hands of police. When the policemen on trial for use of excessive force, were acquitted, the riots began. Some rioters were taped hauling a truck driver from his cab and viciously beating him with a huge brick.After the final blow the cowardly rioters gave each other the high five. Stores were looted and burned. People were shot and killed. Mr. King spoke his now famous phrase. But we really can't get along. The people on this planet have evolved into extremely violent human beings, It is not one race or one religion that is causing all the turmoil. It is the intolerance in all races and all religions causing hatred to flourish. Are we, in today's world,being manipulated by some demonic fallen angel,or are we cursed with an intolerance gene driving us to destruction? We used to care about and for one another. Now we seem to only care about ourselves.
