Dick,
Would a group of sighted people more passively accept what you prepare for
them?

Carl and All:
From the standpoint of a person who has vision but has worked with a blind
group for about 20 years I comment as follows:
(1) It is very difficult to prepare a comment for this group or any group of
blind people.
(2) No matter how narrowly defined or not narrowly defined it will
'antagonize or irritate' one or more of the contributors.

My concern was that this was very selective, very narrow, very
specific examples of the never ending killing that seems to preoccupy
Mankind. One only need to glance at the evening news to learn that
war, killing, murder, violence and retaliation are the major items of
interest.
We serve no positive purpose by identifying our killers as all Muslim
Males. A similar list could be drawn up identifying young male Free
Irish. We might show that the colonists had no other choice but to
wipe out the pesky Red Savages, by naming a list of Indian Males who
went about killing our White Fathers...and Mothers.
Such lists are of no historical value. The basic thrust is to drive
wedges, to turn one group of people against another. We do not need
to tell our children that it was Muslims who were the violent
aggressors. Murder is rampant across the Planet, and growing faster
than a speeding bullet.
Out of historical curiosity, can you name an equal number of Muslim
men who stood for peace?
What about a list of Christian Men? One of peace defending Mexicans?
What about a list of brave peace loving Women? And could we find an
equal number of corporate CEO's who are promoting peace?
Good luck with that last one!

This type of historical information is indicative, in this case in my
opinion, that there had been a goodly bit of armed confrontation
between the so called Western World and the so called Eastern World
and it would appear that it is continuing on in this day and age. It
does not mean that one group is better than or worse than the other.
It might indicate that the wars fought did not settle anything on a
permanent bases and it my perhaps indicate the western world and the
eastern world did not learn anything from the armed conflicts noted.

This is the sort of "thinking" that assures us that there will
always be murder and torture. I mean, how could we, the Righteous
descendants of good, loving, Christian Europeans ever sit down with
those murderous, mindless Muslims? Despite having no blood on our
God Fearing hands, they come around taking what we've earned, fair
and square, slitting our throats in the deal, Well, all of us who
buy this crap are just as mean spirited and underhanded and
murderous as are those many Male Muslim Men.
I used to say that we were indeed a ship of fools. Now I have
altered that to say, a ship of murderous fools.
Shame on anyone who passes this biased drivel along.
