Color means nothing - Love conquers all! Great write. When we can love others no matter our differences in politics, race and religion, then we truly will have progressed. -- Jeff

Excellent write... Standing Bear of the Ponca tribe said that if we cut our hands, we all bleed the same color blood and we all feel the same pain... we are one...
