I caught many a lightning bug. (Now I think its cruel)...If I find one in the house, I save the little thing.
Yes, the world has changed...I have wondered what my grandparents would think if they could come back.
The "over-mixing" of different cultures is one of the problems we face in the U.S. Not that one culture is necessarily better than another, but it is human nature to want to be with one's own culture. That is why blacks have not integrated even though they could if they wanted to. The "melting pot" that was America for so long was a melding of mostly European whites. They were the first settlers and the ones who came later were from the "mother" countries. Not so different. The melting pot is harder to achieve when the cultures are so different, so we end up with "diversity" which comes from the root "to divide", and it does divide. I don't know how to change human nature except through the love of God and the Blood of Jesus Christ. That is the only thing that can bring 'change".
