SUPPOSE WE WERE ALL THE SAME

We worry about differences. Immigrants are unwanted in our community. We don’t trust Muslims, we get miffed at same-sex marriages, we’re scared of people with mental illness, and different colors freak us out. So what if we were all the same? We all want the same jobs. We want to live in the same place, in the same houses, all painted the same color. We all eat the same food and dress the same way, drink the same beer and have the same hair-dos. We drive the same cars, vacation in the same places, play the same music, and watch the same movies. We’re all the same religion and worship the same politicians. We laugh at the same jokes and cry at the same dramas. You can’t tell one of us from the other. Now, isn’t this fun? Welcome to Hot Springs Village.
