And the answer to the Rodney King declaration is a simple No way Jose Why ... I haven't a clue. Maybe it's the nature of modern man.Given the many groups and cliques and sports hero's and different religions and Politicians and jobs.It is one long list of competition of one sort or another. Jews do no mingle with Baptists and Catholics don't mingle with Prostestants.Catholics may talk and work with Jews but not socialize.Blue collar workers no more like white collar workers than Enlisted men like Officers in the Military. It's the nature of Socialism.Orientals prefer other Orientals like the Irish prefer other Irish,Poles { Polish } prefer other Poles,Germans likewise and the same with Italians. Texans don't trust New Yorkers and New Yorkers have no use of anyone south of the Mason-Dixon line,roundabout. It's the nature of Modern man.There is no cure,remedy or even time out.It is On-going,pervasive and ever-present. It is the nature of Modern man.To divide itself into like-minded groups.Which may sound rational and sane enough. Except for one tiny element. E pluribus unum Out of many,One.The very construct of Americana, What built up America as the greatest example of how a Society should function and see itself.As one.From many. Am I literally living in some time warp.Did I miss a version of Americana in civics class.Or is it a pipe dream like so many other aspects of the human condition.Like the American Dream. Why is it called that.? Shouldn't it be called the : My Ship came in Dream.
It's all in the education and naturalization. Think of a soccer game... lots of individual players with their own belief systems and customs, playing by the rules towards a unified goal. Now we have players who want to change the rules, and they're all being immediate and autocratic about it. I wanted to say immature and juvenile but I won't. Anyway, there's no mechanism for consensus. No one says the pledge of allegiance anymore. Maybe because they weren't naturalized?
