Worth, i aint bored to tears one Bit, by that link.

i bookmarked it...an ty So Much...for delvin it up for peruse.

In a crazy way.....two..un-related Facts...occur...within the last 600 years.

A study of History indicates...that a human's Race was never a reason...to be considered for prejudice, all Thru-out recorded texts....untill around 1500 A.D.

Rome...granted citizenship...regardless of race.
We have no record, of Turk rascism, nor by the Empire of China.

It was the exploitation of conquest, 5-600 years ago...by those that learned to Sail, an deploy the deadly impact of gunpowder...that for the First Time...in mankind's existence on this earth...race became a defining target.

And ever Since...splinters have grown. The World is so fragmented, now...think about it...)))

Nobel...hated...that what he discovered, was put to use...in a Harmful way.
Thats why we have...an Endowment...a Prize...for those that sought to make it Better, according to the Pure ideals of a Sad but Beautiful Life, lived an died, by Nobel.

Just as Rascism is only 5-600 years old...Tomatos...the breeding an development of a plant once considered Poisonous...is Only...about the Same...in Age.

I'm grateful, an hopefull, for the End of One, an the Beautiful Flight...of the Other.

The Link...is the kind of Reading...i appreciate, Worth. An i sorta grin when i think ...that You read it...too...)))

i always had this Fantasy about a BellaDonna....lol...now i Know...)))
