You guys are awful quick to paint with a broad brush about every little thing someone may post about in Gen Disc.
A wise man once said, "The whole World's crazy and I'm nuts."
Well, not really a wise man. That was the last thing I heard a buddy of mine in the Army say. Next thing I knew he was naked, wrapped in a sheet, holding a Bible, standing behind a door and when anyone walked by he would bark at them.
I thought it was pretty funny until the C.O. got in his face and yelled,
"What is your problem, Soldier?"
Response, "Bark...Bark....Bark,Bark"
Chapter 11, Medical Discharge one week later.
He smiled and waved to me as the bus drove away.
(He was my hero)

Back on Topic...
One of my favorite episodes of the original Star Trek series was when the ship was transporting two aliens that hated each other's guts. I think one of the aliens was played by Frank Gorshin who was 'The Riddler' on the Batman TV series but, I digress(once again).
Anyway, these two guys are black on one side and white on the other, right down the middle of their face.
They are fighting and arguing and finally Kirk can't take this no more and he asks one of them why they hate each other so much.
And Gorshin says, "Are you blind man? Can't you see? He is black on the right side and I'm am black on the left!".
For a sixties series, the show sometimes tackled issues that were more scary than their monsters.
