[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]look at Europe now - people are tribal[/quote]

But what do you expect?

I have family in Europe. I'm first gen in fact.  Europeans had an open-door philosophy among themselves before the EU came into play.  You could travel from one country to another and take in the culture.  Most Europeans were (and still are) fluent in other languages b/c of the close proximity.  But there was respect for "borders," for cultures that defined each country.

This is no longer the case.  So when any culture finds itself threatened, it does indeed become tribal.

The US doesn't have a set culture.  Each wave of immigration brought its set of issues - some worse than others.  Slavery defined this country in ways we can't ignore by leaving an ugly stamp on today's generation.  So if you want to talk "tribal," examine all of the groups in this country who are trying to preserve who they are (or what they think they are).

human nature, folks

So until we all grow into big-headed beings with huge eyes who can speak telepathically, we have to understand that we will never be a harmonious group.  We are too diverse and too large.[/quote]
