Hate of ANY KIND is not the solution to the problems of society.  Until people are able to get rid of the hate in their own heart, this world will never be a peaceful place.  I have never tried to guess why history was the way it was.   I don't know the answers and quite frankly, I don't need to know them.  

Being angry or staying angry is a choice.  Anger and hate prevent peace.  Peace needs to begin somewhere.  As for me, I have a circle of friends that includes many religions and nationalities.  I don't distinguish them by what their parents or grandparents did. 

As for Gordon Hinckley --- My own dad is his age.  Did you ever think he may have been too ill to meet with the reverend?  My own dad, although sometimes as spry as Gordon Hinckley, has days when he can't even move.
