There is a sickness eating away at the strength of humankind and that sickness is Hate. Daily, throughout the world, men, women, and children are tortured, brutalized, and murdered simply because of their beliefs, their race, their physical state, or their sexuality, and equally guilty as the perpetrators are those among us who remain indifferent and/or silent. When will it stop? Who will stop it? Will YOU?? We have lived long enough in a world where kids are getting shot for the color of their skin...where homosexuals have to become alert to every sound they hear around them just incase some bigot may try to hurt them...where people can't get a job because of the who they are or where they come from and where stereotypes rule over actual knowledge. If we want a future, we need to take a stand. We and I need you to help stop hate. Protest, write congress there sevral things you the person can do to make a change!
