Description


Taken in Glacier National Park. Which one is not like the others? Flowers seem to be able to coexist despite their differences, but humans seem to have a problem dealing with other humans different from themselves in some way - whether it be race, religion, nationality, politics, sexual preference or whatever. This evening, I've been watching news coverage from Ferguson, Missouri & I'm deeply disturbed by it. A few days ago, an unarmed black teenager who had committed no crime was murdered by a white policeman in broad daylight. Today, police there confronted the black community who are asking for simple justice with military style vehicles, weapons & gear & harassed & detained reporters trying to cover the story. We were supposed to have put this kind of thing behind us after the civil rights movement 50 years ago, but racism continues to rear it's ugly head & some police departments seem to think it's acceptable to treat communities that they're supposed to protect as enemy combatants. Sorry for the rant - I generally try to avoid politics here. I was going to post this as a simple photo under Flowers/Plants, but just felt the need to express my feelings about this...

Another Gem! The DOF control and vibrance make this a real eye catcher! The rant is one that needed saying. There is so much unjustified and illogical hatred in the world. As you said about my "King of the Rock", weapons do create monsters. So why is so much spent on creating more and more evil ones. A teacher I remember from school who was famous for his short sermons was challenged how small could he get them. He said to the assembled school we should listen hard to todays sermon and treat it as a way of life. He then delivered a one word wonder "Tolerance" he then left the stage! I cannot remember any other from my school days. I will always remember this man and his wisdom!

I like Kevin's story. If you have to live by only one word, "tolerance" is an excellent choice!
