There are usually no physical casualties, but there is a loss of spirit and trust, a loss of coher ence, among us. When you talk with someone about the mythi cal "good ol' days" in America, you will hear stories of towns with unlocked doors, of commu nities where everyone knew each other, went to the same church, thought alike, bought the same dog food. Why did things work so well? Because individuals and foreigners were alienated. If you y,^re WITHOUT tar 'nfeather everyone who seems deviant, you're going to run off the would-be weirdos really fasL Why have things changed? People move around more. There is more crowding in the larger communities, and cities have become overpopu- _r,D. lated. Homogenizing the population (mixing it up) means you spread around the culture. On the same street you will see synagogues, mosques, churches, temples, and cathedrals. No one's voice is big enough to drown out all the rest- this is the real gift of diversity. It helps prevent one group from being wiped out by another's preju dice. What is the downside of diversity? People who are very different, who may even have cultural traditions of hatred, live in close quarters with one another. An example comes to mind: on my hall, there is a room with both a dedicated politically conservative Republican and a de voted liberal. They have passionate arguments (too spirited to be called debates) over things on which they "disagree." (I'll explain the quota tion marks in a second). In the process, they can grow quite upset with one another personally, and there is a lack of harmony between them. Apples and Oranges What I wonder, though, is whether or not they really "disagree." In listening to them, I have figured out that both of them will say America is in trouble economically. They will even give credit to similar things for the trouble: the deficit, poor government, the American "get rich quick" mentality. After this, though, something strange happens. The Republican begins to talk about how his party will solve all those problems if we just give it a chance- and blames the Democratic Congress for the mess. The liberal, on the other hand, points out the many obvious failings in the administration and questions the wisdom of con tinuing to support failure. Then he attacks the Republican for failing to see the real problem. So what is it they disagree on? They each endorse a different set of values and plans for solving what they both see as "the problem" but they don't even agree on the problem. All they ROLLIE FOLLIES say they agree on is that the bad effects of this problem (whatever it is) need to be fixed. Scale this up to the entire population, and add many more viewpoints: you now have a society F3YMCF grounded in inertia, where every group's "prob lem" and methods of solution butt up ineffec tively against everyone else's. Our "popular" government has to interpret this mess and take die lowest common opinion (or maybe the richest common opinion) so it can be re-elected.
