To quote Twain:
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear." "I have no color prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. All I care to know is that a man is a human being, and that is enough for me; he can't be any worse." I think a teachable preface that addressed the issue would be a more honest solution.
