All wars, including the political war we are fighting with each other internally in our country, must evolve to listening,learning and negotiating, respecting other's values, not beating them over the head with ours.

@Smalltofeds I continue to say that there are significant lessons from the first half of the 20th century we have yet to learn. I continue to focus on trying to learn those and discuss them with others.

I admire your view of history and I agree that it has value. But it must be applied in a manner that recognizes the changes that have occurred in many venues that did not exist at the time that history was made.
Without that transition your message, however valuable, will fall on mute ears to those who do not recognize history if not applied in a manner meaningful the them.
Assuming they will make the transition is a stretch.
