"They
say..." "They always do/never do..." "They won't/will..."
"They all are/never are..." "They all look/act..."
"They know..."; "They" are always knowledgeable experts,
the voice of authority, and definitely always right. "They" are the
trump card in many an argument.
Who
are "They"?
I
don't know for sure. And since I do not know who "They" are, I do not
trust them. Unfortunately I believe a great many people do. These persons
appear to accept without question what "They" say; assume whatever
"They" do is always right, proper, and for the betterment of
humanity. "They" are often believed to be too big and too strong to rebel
against successfully even when empirical evidence clearly proves "They"
to be wrong and what "They" are doing harmful to many.
Individually
we need to clearly identify "They" before we assign any credibility
to them. Otherwise we will continue to stereotype and discriminate, profile
racial and ethnic groups, abuse our women and children, suffer wars without
end, and other iniquities too numerous to mention. So I suggest as an answer to
my question in the second paragraph, a paraphrase of a statement made by Walt
Kelley's wise little opossum Pogo1, "We are the they that are
doing it to us."
