Your Letters: "I was looking at your magazine and it's got a very nice look to it. I read some of the sample articles, too. It's very impressive what you've put together. My feeling is that I often think the world would be a better place if we were all color blind. I think it's great for people to be proud of who they are and their heritage. But maybe sometimes there's too much emphasis on the differences we have. I know my kids learn about cultures all over the world in school and I think that's great. I guess I worry that perhaps kids aren't sophisticated enough in their thought process to appreciate the different cultures and just hear "different." I'm not sure some adults hear anything other than "different" either. One thing I hope my kids take from growing up with mixed-race parentage is that those differences don't matter -- that it's perfectly natural for different people from different cultures or races to come together. I think all this is similar to the way I look at things like the Gay Pride Parade. I don't think I have a problem with gays (and I'd mention I have gay friends but that always sounds like such a stupid way to defend yourself.... oops I just mentioned it anyway). I guess my attitude is, "OK, you're gay. So what? I'm not gay. So what?" I don't see the need for a parade celebrating the fact that people are gay or not gay. I suppose to me it's about the idea that we're emphasizing differences, rather than what we have in common." - S. Johnston, Toronto What people are saying about the Member's Edition "It's worth every penny. You'd have to visit 30 different sites to get all of the information that's in your magazine... It's fun, educational and wonderful to look at." - John David, San Francisco Wow! What an incredible site! Absolutely amazing!...You guys really have something special going on! Keep up the TREMENDOUS work! - Jimi Shultz, New York "Where do you gather all of that information? . . . . WOW, the research is really amazing." - David Spence, Vancouver "I must say the member's edition is very impressive." - David Swick, Halifax How are we doing? What are you thinking?
