Unfortunately some minority decided that the word "Dominion" was not good. I think that they said that it came from the Chrristian Bible therefore could not be used in a diverse nation (God gave man dominion over, I think is the reference)
Diversity is good as long as it doesnot diversify anyone out. The only problem with an open mind is that it received a bunch of junk. And other similar sayings that basically say, that most things are good but donot take them then extremes including moderation. Chris
