COLOR ME BLUE

Latest rant. Why is such a big deal being made out of idiotic remarks made a couple of years ago? The President has accepted the apology and moved on. We need to do the same. How can he be the president of us all when certain interest groups continually want him to make "issues" out of everything. We have fought these wars before- racism, sexism, orientation. We are all human beings, each with our own talents, failures and humanity. Get over it already.

As a woman who broke several barriers in the course of my non-traditional career over the years, I understand what it's like to be different. If I carried a chip on my shoulder and rallied for "my rights" every day and on every issue I dare say I would have not been able to accomplish half of what I had done. Sometimes you just have to ignore the subtle insults and prove you can do the job. But making me stop to insist on my "rights" doesn't work people!

Eventually we all have to get along with each other and accept what each of us brings to the table. Do we have built-in bias' and fears? Of course. But the sooner we get over it, the stronger we will be.
