Reading Mr. Johnson's letter, I started to think about hate in America.  There have always been Americans who hate other Americans for not being just like them.  It goes back to the first day a human stepped foot on the continent.  America has had a Civil War, the KKK, race riots, Trails of Tears, and so much more hate but I always thought that the majority of Americans rejected the hate and celebrated the fact that we are all, in fact, Americans who love their children, work hard, help their neighbors and deserve respect.  I always thought that the faces I see on the street more than likely were like that.  But our reactions to this year's presidential candidates has made me question that belief.  When I look at the faces of people on the street, I wonder - was I ever correct, or do most of the people I see cherish a hate against other Americans?  For me, that's enough reason to deeply regret this election and both candidates.  They've made me question the good in my fellow Americans.
