9/7/2006 - Racism, Sexism in our Modern World

Posted in Unspecified

I don't know why I continue to be surprised by racist and sexist and generally derogatory comments people say or write about these days. I keep thinking that we, as a country, society, world, should be progressing and becoming better people, more tolerant, open-minded people. BUT NO! We have idiots in power such has Senator George Allen and his "macaca" remarks. We have mainstream publications such as Forbes printing the sexist words of Michael Noer. We have GW leading our country, acting as our representative to the rest of the world. The laws of physics dictate that things become more entropic, that is, chaotic, not more orderly, so I really shouldn't be surprised by how things seem to be going to hell in a hand bag. But as my co-worker said, I am not a true cynic and thus still hold out some hope that things will truly change for the better someday. I just don't think it will in my life time says the cynic in me.
