Spielberg's Lincoln

[My Name Is Kate]

Thank you, Laurie, for expressing my sentiments better than I was able to. I am also not descended from slaves, but without going into any sordid details and trying to make people feel guilty over what happened to me, I do know what it is like to be enslaved, and I could (and did) blame it on alot of people, including the laws in this country at the time. But I am so sick and tired of being angry and hateful and wasting time dwelling on it, that I have learned to be appreciative of what I do have, and I want to be happy, not miserable.

If someone is stomping on your rights, and you are able to fight back by legal means, then do it. But don't just dwell on it and keep shoving it in other people's faces.
