The Barking Mouse

June 1963, JFK gave a pivotal speech of the Cold-War era in Berlin expressing his commitment to the survival of West Berlin, and West Germany.  In that speech he said "Ich bin ein Berliner" which translated means "I am a jelly doughnut."  But the people of Berlin knew what he was trying to say, and took it in that spirit.  Or is that even true?  There is no doubt he gave the speech, but were jelly donuts called Berliners at that time and place?  Trying to suss that out is no simple task.  

This is a simple illustration of one of the major problems we have today.  

This channel is committed to the idea every human deserves to be judged by his own acts, and his acts alone.  Not by color, race, religion (or lack thereof), gender, or any other factor not in his own control.

Respect is earned, but we all deserve a chance to earn it.
