"There is No Them, only Us..."

As I write this I am listening/watching A PBS program called Moyers and Company, facilitated by Bill Moyers.   In this program he is interviewing a Mexican American Poet, novelist and essayist, Luis Alberto Urrea.  It was some of his work that was removed/banned from classrooms in Tucson, Arizona, schools.  This is a very powerful interview and if you are ever at want for a definition of COMPASSION view this interview and/or read from Mr. Urrea’s work.  One of his quotes:  “There is no them, only US.”
The entire interview:  http://billmoyers.com/episode/full-show-between-two-worlds-life-on-the-border/
