It's interesting remembering that 3,000 years ago all religions lived in harmony ... and have done over the eras - though there've always been outbreaks of war.<br /><br />We could live in peace with each other if we weren't so polarised.

A Monument just south of Mount Whitney and the town of Lone Pine. Out on the desert prairie, nestled up against the foothills of those majestic towering, and very cold snowy most of the year tall Mountain Peaks. The Japanese had to of fought the cold, as an essential need to live. I can only wonder if they were ever provided firewood. I need to find a book, detailing life within this camp. I've been stopping by it, for a short rest stop, and reminder of the injustice of this paranoid Nation during WWII. Yet many old timers from a long time back, defend their judgements, and even draped the miles long Military Aircraft Buddings, of which I'd one day work in. Of course being shown the WWII carpet drapes over these plants, was stunning. Made to look like a residential tract. A truly incredible piece of American History.

I think Moira's husband is correct in his thinking and action.

And one more thing, your comment made me cry (in a good way) and I rarely cry these days. Pretty much everything you wrote resonated. Thanks. TeresaT.
