But this whole thread pretty much illustrates why the liberal movement will not marshal its creative energies to solve the problems of tomorrow, which are pretty much hurtling down upon us today, by the way. Too busy stirring useless crap. Too desperate to feel good about themselves by judging others. In many ways, remarkably similar in form if not in content to conservative types.

Part of the whole PC problem. oh here's an example ... somewhere in this thread it is said white men enslaved black men and sure that is true. What is left out is that black people enslaved black people of other tribes to sell to whoever. Another thing that is left out is that lots of white men always regarded this as abomination and fought against it. A little examination of the history of the "golden triangle" exposes certain ugly truths about several races and religions. But it is easier to sit in high judgment over people than learn the lessons of history and imagine one race blameless and the other damned. In reality, neither guilt nor innocence can be assigned on the basis of race, and to suggest otherwise is itself racist.

This is really uncreative, useless, racist, counter productive stuff. But do keep on if it makes you feel better.
