I think I'm with Edgar Mitchel on this.
"You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that, you son of a bitch."

He's right. we may look different to each other, & have different religious beliefs, different cultural practices, but we are all nonetheless human. Most of whom are just trying to live their lives as best they can, & trying to make things on this planet a bit better for their children, & their grandchildren.
And we are all related, so it makes sense to all work together to make our world a better place for all of us.
