    This has to be one of my favorite movies and sound tracks of all time. I just got the CD and can play it a 1000 more times...

    I love it too. Did you see it on PBS recently? The singers just stood on the stage with the orchestra and sang the songs and did the lines. Reba McEntire was Nelly Forbush.

    You've got to be taught to hate and fear
    You've got to be taught from year to year
    It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
    You've got to be carefully taught

    You've got to be taught before it's too late
    Before you are six or seven or eight
    To hate all the people your relatives hate
    You've got to be carefully taught
    You've got to be carefully taught

    Blondie, that's right. What a great, timely song!! And it was written in the 40's or 50's.

    Remember this part?

    You've got to be taught to be afraid

    Of people whose eyes are oddly made,

    And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,

    You've got to be carefully taught.

    Yes, Mulan, that song always made me think of the WTS approach to non-JWs and how they could be so cold to wish for the permanent end of the wicked, 6 billion people. JWs are carefully taught at every meeting to hate.

    So true. I had a cousin DF'ed in 1981 and had to shun her. It wasn't as difficult for me as I lived 2100 miles from her. There were a few occasions where she and I would be at the same family function and I shunned her. I felt subhuman for my actions. This was an entirly learned response, very unnatural. When I DA'ed myself two years ago the first thing I did was apologize to her and begged her forgiveness. To my great amazement she hugged me and kissed me and said all was forgiven. I realized how I was taught to hate those many years.
