For the first time this year at the swimming pool I saw more than one single black family with children, several rambunctious boys and girls, whose behavior was a little more rowdy perhaps than some other members expected. This caused raised eyebrows, literally. I wonder if the subjects of this signaling themselves even noticed...<br /><br />I agree that raising our consciousness to a higher HUMAN level will take much more time.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002034412151764344noreply@blogger.com
