			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.oldtakkiesindaba.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sealheidi-224x300.jpg" alt="sealheidi" title="sealheidi" width="224" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-455" />Have you ever watched children in a public environment? Just watched them? Have you ever watched two children who are complete strangers interact? How they walk up to each other, smile, laugh with each other? Talk to each other, even, in the language that toddlers speak, of course? Sure you have.</p>
<p>Have you ever watched two children of the same race do this? Now, have you ever watched two children of different races do this? Funny how the behaviour is precisely the same, huh?</p>
<p>All but the most ignorant know that &#8216;racial&#8217; differences are arbitrary social constructs, right? I mean, at the genetic level, people are the same. Hate groups masquerading as legitimate organisations may feel sick to the stomach at that statement, but the &#8216;pure mind&#8217; inherently realises this. The mind tampered with forgets.</p>
<p><span id="more-454"></span></p>
<p>The pettiness isn&#8217;t in that the laws were passed as opposed to them being accepted by the intelligent.</p>
<p>Alas, everybody has character flaws.</p>
<p>My flaw is that I&#8217;m extremely liberal. Liberal to a fault, even&#8230; so much so that I think there&#8217;s something wrong with those who are not. I don&#8217;t get it. Insofar as that which others do neither harms you nor interferes with your livelihood, why have a say?</p>
<p>Interracial relationships? Absolutely! Why limit options due to something arbitrary like race? Word to Seal and David Bowie: your wives are beautiful.</p>
<p>Interracial adoption? Sure. I&#8217;m confident children in orphanages want (need?) parents, and those who want (need) children shouldn&#8217;t be stopped from offering children a home due to pigmentation.</p>
<p>Hey, if we could sidestep race for a second, GLBT marriages? Why not? That&#8217;s a conversation we should have, but it&#8217;s probably beyond the scope of this piece.</p>
<p>Children get it. There&#8217;s nothing in skin. You, me, society teach them otherwise. You, me, society, teach them incorrectly. You, me, society need to be deliberate in reversing that process.</p>
