   be compared to vicious, brutal monsterous tyrants like them... and also, who   
   we are online is, at best, a glimpse, an approximation of who we are in "real   
   life"... why not give people the benefit of the doubt and focus more on   
   people's positive qualities    
   and what unites us rather than what divides us?   
           Wish people could give this a try on the Poetry group as well…   
   sadly, this is just not going to happen…
