DICHOTOMY

I have always been intrigued by social progression. The ideal, fantasy, dream, whatever you wanna call it, of lifting the low-income, social outcasts, and essentially (I really want to use this Bushism, but I don't know if it fits,) just, "raise the pie higher." (I'm laughing internally, you have no idea.)
But, I also feel like, I feel bad for saying this, but discrimination and stereotypes--not so much the hate that stems from them--are quite crucial to the complexity of our social fabric. You catch my drift? I mean, why does everything have to be so politically correct? (I swear, that is a poisonous phrase, and can be used by anybody for any cause. It is so dangerously potent--political correctness.) I would say that I would like for religion to vanish, as a belief system. But if religion did vanish, it would take away from cultural richness. If gangs vanished... sad to have to admit, but they also contribute to cultural richness. There are so many spheres clashing. Social order; social culture; academia... It's mind-boggling. I don't know, what makes me worry, is that evolution and progression is tending toward monotony. Everything is so standard and mechanical. Just like how machines are by and by displacing the need for humans. How is the economy going to work? I swear, I am not trying to be racist, and I know in my heart I am not a racist... though I do laugh at some jokes and I do "believe" in some stereotypes (though I recognize that not all people will match stereotypes).

Really hope I didn't come off as a racist. Or a status-quo conservative. I would just like to see the world remain an interesting place to live. Chaotic. (Sizzle)
Can't everyone get along and laugh at funny things together, and not be so frickin sensitive all the time? Hypocrite, I know. Sensitivity and Censoring are always at the back of my head. Annoyingly so.
