Quote for the Day

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught

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

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a different shade
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

Oscar Hammerstein II, from the musical South Pacific.
