Rules to live by.

Yeah, it's an absolute shame that American children are not routinely taught one or two languages in addition to English. That change alone could help towards replacing xenophobia with not only acceptance of other cultures, but maybe even curiosity about the rest of the world instead of some of the insular attitudes I witness on a daily basis. You can't understand the other's point of view if you are neither willing nor able to speak to the other.
