Like I said, I definitely think those who lack compassion and who have no desire for justice and equality are out there -- and I do shun them. I want nothing to do with them any longer and go out of my way to avoid them.

I lump them together as the Limbaugh/Beck crowd.

I do think there are others who aren't quite so entrenched in their selfishness; they haven't taken a good look at themselves and/or haven't been honest with themselves and thus don't even realize how they treat others...or why they treat people as they do.

Of course, I could be wrong.

You're too kind! I think people who lack compassion should be pushed out snappyturtle Jul 2012 #1
