the important ingredient in a racial blend is respect, not tolerance. i may tolerate you, throw you smiles, and seethe inside. that’s not what this country should be made of, eh?

Thumbs up for your optimistic and positive observations. I want to beleive as much but I am saddened by the ink drops that contaminates the entire pool of water. You know what I mean. The government have very good intentions, very good policies, very good plans. Sadly what is lacking is effective implementation and control as well as whipping the errant civil servants or over-zealous religious officers in line. It is they who continue to grab headlines and give the general impression that we are very intolerant and that racial integration is breaking at the seams. I really wish to read no such news so that we may begin to go back to the impression that we are really a united multiracial country with respect for one another. Such were the good memories of the 1950s and 60s. Sigh!
