“America is the most creative place on earth because of the dynamic mix of ethnicity and cultural backgrounds and the tensions those create. Tension is always created by opposition. Standardization is the enemy of invention.”

    Perfect timing for this solid wisdom! I don’t want to live in a homogeneous lily white country! Give me hummus and falafel and soul food and sushi and palak paneer and bobotie and, yes, even reinsdyrsteik. As my old daddy used to say (and, by the way, the older I get – the wiser he gets)…’Variety is the spice of life!”

    Thanks Deborah!

    Peace and Love – Bill
