<p>[QUOTE="Vern, post: 33027, member: 347"]Well, komokwa, I will try to see that word in a different light from now on. It is just that every time I've heard it used it has been in a derogatory tone. I do understand its root definition as "nation," but that doesn't mean it has not been used as something different over time. I suppose this lends weight to the old adage - "It isn't what you say but how you say it…"</p><p>I am a very spiritual person and, although I am not Jewish, I do respect the Torah greatly. We all have a common origin and we are all brothers and sisters. We must learn to get along. There is so much tension in folks these days. We are all in this together. We must all stop identifying ourselves by a color or religion. We needn't segregate ourselves any further. We only need to be human, nothing else matters. In this we can all be family and love.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
