Hi Jukka,

>something about race
Yes.
"... all men are created equal ..."
It's a wish, not a fact.
Men are not created equal, they are very different from the start,
the live very different lifes, serve different gods or none at all,
have different family structures, if they have families at all...
The assumption that "... all men are created equal.."
did more harm then good, though it was written in good intention.
What some call democracy and what is in fact
the rule of a political class, a politocracy,
might have been good for the west.
It has been seen before and it is being seen right now,
it doesn't work everywhere on this planet.
Let different people live their different lifes,
as far as they don't threaten us.
In fact, I think, all in all, we, the western world,
are threatening others more then others are threatening us.
