Why Can't We All Just Get Along?

Those words of Rodney King ring true, year after year after year.

The whole Rodney King case was an interesting one, to say the least . . . but his words are true.

The latest flare-up in the Middle East, regarding the video made by some fringe religious extremist Americans, caused me to think about these words.

I have heard a history expert say that after thousands and thousands and thousands of years, humans are doing the same thing they have been doing since they beginning: simply trying to get along with each other. After all these years and all the advances we have made in so many different areas of life, in a way, we're no better off than we were in the beginning: we still don't know how to live with each other.

We need to learn to respect each other . . . and respect ourselves.
