George Aiken

If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon.
- George Aiken
George Aiken was a U.S. Senator from Vermont. He was a character. I never knew him, but I knew his second wife, Lola. She was a character, too. George spent something like $26.12 in his last election to the Senate. During the Vietnam war, he told then President Nixon to "Declare victory and get out."
I think the quote above is a good one. It's probably true. We love to hate someone or some group. I guess it's nice to have people to blame for the ills of the world. I don't think I'm prejudiced against groups of people because of race, creed, or color. I do not like stupidity, arrogance, greed, lack of principles. Those are the kind of things we should be prejudiced about.
