This article by Tiffany Mclean was very profound in its reasoning ("Equality isn't always equal," BTL Aug. 27). I am in this community and feel that there is such a thin line that does divide all of us, while wishing that the line could be crumpled and we could all become one. Her article made me wonder what could be done to make the line thinner or even fade away, and then i realized her words in the article were the beginnings of erasing that line.
Tiffany insight was indeed a bright reflection of what is thought but not spoken but alot of us, including myself. I look forward to reading more from her.
