Diversity for All!!!!

There has been much talk lately about disunity in the country and the cultural divide. Isn't it possible that is seems more a problem because we are paying more attention to it? Much like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, are we changing things simply by paying close attention to them? Is it possible that the emphasis on "diversity" and "tolerance" has given rise to our paying more attention to our differences, in fact honoring and rewarding them, and therefore people are more inclined to find such differences in themselves and make those attributes their most important aspects? The "protection of the minority" principle of Democracy has led us very far afield. We should pay more attention to our similarities. Most of us yearn and hope for the same thing and rejoice in the same things. Let that common ground unite us.
