So often conventional wisdom is delivered emphatically with sure confidence. So much personal experience, however, contradicts the rigid declaratives about peoples, and what they prove to actually be about. All the images and stories of people at each other’s throats is routinely unfound. Again yesterday down in Point Pleasant New Jersey there were loads of people of all walks of life mixed together happily. There was no overbearing threat of danger or suspicion to be found, heard, or sensed anywhere. Again, and again yesterday, all the persuasions that we the people are our own enemy has been defied, and the only screams of surprise were the screams of joy among those loving their surprises which were popping up in the funhouse.
