I signed the pledge because it’s beyond time for people to realize that we are all the same regardless of colour, race, religion, belief systems, or lack thereof. We all need to become more accepting of all others around us, more kind, more forgiving and most of all communicate with each other in a reasonable fashion. The planet gets smaller with each passing day and if we want to share it for any length of time we need to be different in the future if we want to continue on.
