How true that is! What's that line from South Pacific about kids
having to be taught to learn hate before they're six or seven or
eight?
"To hate all the people your relatives hate; you've got to be
carefully taught."
And I understand that Rodgers & Hammerstein took a lot of flack
because of that song, from people whom we would probably recognize
today as highly racist. But that was the temper of the time.
