After Hyperbole
I have been wanting to write this post forever, or at least the last couple of months. But, I was enslaved to the Alphabet series and something horrible would have happened to me if I wrote it before I finished the alphabet. So, I have been biting at the bit to write this because I want to warn you about the catastrophe that is about to come upon us and I don’t know if we will survive. Last year I wrote a post titled Hyperbole which featured a man carrying a sign that read –

Alphabet Series - X is for Xenophobia
Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of xenophobia going around lately and I don't think there is much I can do about it. But I'm going to try. After all, I'm a believer in what Eldridge Cleaver said some years ago: "If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem." And, I think it is safe to say we have a problem. Let's start with the dictionary definition of xenophobia, "fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign."
