Starting Line

My original blog was going to be title "Working with Idiots" but I figure that changing their names to protect the innocent would have been completely an untruth. Working with a group of people who words and actions express their personnal believes. Then cross the boundries into a world bais and ridicule.

My challenge started yesterday. When during a conversation on the current availability of sweet corn and how to cook the corn with hot dogs. Well, one thing lead to another and before you know it three of the group members was laughing and ridiculing how the process of one person was strange and unnatural.

Now, I'm not talking about school age students. I'm talking about grown adults even one a minority senior citizen. We teach our children not to create bias to other people and not to ridicule a person's color, believes, religion, and etc.

So much for preaching to our young, when as adults cannot practice what we preach. The idea of treating each other as equals will not work, when we don't believe that it is okay to criticize even the smallest difference.
