I am glad I don't share your outlook..yes there will be shams,looting and criminal activity but the helping your neighbor, regardless of color,race or religion , movement has been and will continue to be greater. Call me a liberal, hippie or whatever...I believe in the goodness of man. I would never call a friend's mom a bitch.. Mother's are sacred..
