This lack of respect is not only frustrating – it can also be dangerous. In my younger days I thought I had the answer.

The Island Race … Riots “What’s all this about race riots in England?”  my American friends keep asking me.  “Who are these ‘Asians’ that are throwing rocks at the police?  What’s their beef?  Can you explain this?”  You bet I can.  Are you sitting comfortably?  Then I’ll begin.
