We will never all think alike but that does not mean that there will not be some common ground or shared beliefs.

Besides, many of the most revered quotes over time do nothing but state the obvious succinctly. I am not mad at Tavis for doing that. There is nothing more amazing than how much more affective an argument can be when you KISS (keep it short and sweet- as my professor used to say)
I think u missed my point...I didnt say anything was wrong with what he said...what I said was I couldn't see the big deal over his comments because they were all common sense...people were reacting to what he said as if it was so really enlightening....so I guess people are just getting excited about hearing him repeat things that have been said for years....
