December 1, 1955 - a 42 year old southern woman refused to give up her seat on the bus. Rosa Parks became the First Lady of Civil Rights.
December 1, 1976 - The Shepard family welcomed their son Matthew to world. 21 years later, Matthew was robbed, pistol whipped, tortured and tied to a fence....because he was gay.
December 1, 2010 - The world is still filled with hate.
Jesus told us do onto others as you would have others do unto you.
The Dalai Lama said "In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher."
John Lennon said all you need is love.
Maybe if we all treated each other the way we wanted to be treated, tried to learn something from those we deem "different" and believed in LOVE this world would be a better place.
The notion is simple, but just may be crazy enough to work.
