Jack and Jill went up the hill

to fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

but it turns out the hill was your mother.

...unless you happen to be my brother or sister, in which case......umm...your face.

 The promise of the new millennium brings with it novel and innovative concepts about the landscape of our great nation.  Gone are the days of the 60s and the civil rights movement; gone are the days of Rosie the Riveter.  So called “equality” has been achieved, or drastic steps towards that end have been advanced at the very least—so politicians say at any rate.  Yet, I challenge you, oh faithful reader, to quantify this “equality” in any meaningful light.  The debate regarding “diversity” may rage across the nation, but when all is said and done, can anyone really explain why diversity is important?  Ask yourself, why do we need diversity—what makes it an important component of not only our academic curricula, but our lives as well?  Now take your answer, strip off all the pre-packaged offal that the media crams down your throat, and take a critical look at what is left—is there really a viable, cogent thought there?  I wager not!  Why then is diversity so reverently stressed?  Because it is the politically acceptable thing to do.  The politically correct climate of the 21^st century has neutered the voice of reason into a simpering, and often mewling, whisper of unquestioning obeisance to the whims of the dominant politically correct pundits—the darling gems of the media—the Wolf Blitzers, the John Stewarts, the *gasp* Tucker Carlson, smug bowtie and all.

            It is high time we as a people regain our voice, our capacity for reason, and conjure up the gumption and savvy to pierce through the dogma of the liberal media and once again proclaim what we truly believe in—what is right!  If we truly cannot identify why diversity is important, save the refuse we are force-fed, why adhere to such a standard?  Simply put, we should not.  Contrary to the popular myth propagated by politicians and activists alike, so called “diversity” is actively destroying this country.  Diversity, at one level, is an acceptance and understanding of other cultures, races, and ethnicities.  Barring nothing else, this as a stand alone concept is laudable.  As human beings, we should strive to understand our fellow people.  However, it is the after effects and residua of “diversity” that we should be wary about.  Unconditional acceptance of other cultures leads to complacence.  Initially, we may simply strive to understand our fellow Americans—the blacks, the Native Americans, the Asians.  But inevitably, this newfound appreciation for our fellow Americans will turn to complacency, the windfall from which will be catastrophic.  If the current campaign to spread diversity to every corner if this land is allowed to run rampant, our acceptance of any culture, any race, any ethnicity, will eventually be so unconditional, that our deviant neighbors to the north and the south will infiltrate our ranks and steal our jobs, our women, our very heritage that we worked so hard to snatch from the murdering savages that inhabited this great land before us.  As if NAFTA wasn’t bad enough, we have to compound the problem by lowering our natural defense mechanisms and allow our country to crumble.  Do we really want more Americans to lose jobs?  Do we really want the piety of our women to be plucked away by thieving heathens who come here to steal our livelihoods?  Shall we allow that third world bastion of sin, Miami (to quote the venerable Tom Tancredo, who, in the humble opinion of this author, is far too liberal and left wing), to spread its infectious web of sin and treachery throughout the farthest reaches of this great nation?  I should hope not!  I therefore call upon you, my faithful reader, to stand up, dig into the trenches, and fight the good fight.
