Inspired by Joy's thread but possibly a bit grim for that.... Taken from a website years before I took notes of URLs... You've got to be taught to hate and fear, You've got to be taught from year to year, It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear, You've got to be carefully taught, You've got to be taught before it's too late, Before you are six or seven or eight, To hate all the people your relatives hate, You've got to be carefully taught. :-)))) eminently ponderworthy

That is so true, thank you for sharing it with us. Tricia

How true is that?

Very true Jen. Hopefully it also works the other way so all those of us who are tolerant and lacking in prejudice will have passed this on to our children. Ann Glos

Tricia, you're welcome, I was deeply impressed myself. And hi Ann & Pink (2 phone calls later - can't people tell I'm on the net? lol) :-) Jen

Hiya Jen, Yes this so true, but also Ann you are so right too, lucky tolerant and understanding people remain in the majority. Pat x

Those lines are from one of the songs in the musical 'South Pacific', but are just as true now as when they were written! Noel

Noel, thank you for that snippet, I can reference it next time I use it. :-) Pat - Hiya, tolerant people may be the majority but don't those few haters make so much trouble? xx Jen

Thanks, Jen. :-) Joy
