A small hyphen (-) can have major consequences and is hindering the United States' advancement by promoting division. Small issues like damage to the space shuttle or particles in the ear can cause large problems. The government should stop profiling and dividing citizens based on attributes like race, language, or color, as this causes obstacles and unrest. The constitution calls for equal treatment of all people, not division based on these attributes. Keeping society divided through classification is like leaving nails on the road to cause problems for the moving vehicle of society.

Asmall hyphen (-) is the key factor for not achieving serenity in the American social
framework that is hindering its economic, political and spiritual advancement even
after having so much wealth, talents, and natural resources. Hate is in the air, greed,
and lust in the eyes, dishonesty, deception, and vulgarity in the language, and, love and
compassion in life-support.

2. I always wonder and become dazzled when I learn that very small things, acts, or
places are caused and could cause enormous problems. Such as (a) damage to the small
thermal tile- shields on the space shuttle Columbia that burnt down the Shuttle on its
fateful return journey to the earth on February 1, 2003; (b) in vertigo small calcium
carbonate particles clumped together in our inner ear, and we completely lose our
balance. We feel the whole world around us rotating. It is the feeling that we often get
just right after getting off of a merry-go-round; (c) a small nail could bring disastrous
consequences to strong moving vehicles by causing a flat tire;(d) Small and overlooked
damage to the foundation of a residential tower, e.g., Surfside Condo tower, Florida,
caused catastrophic incidence; and (e) attacked on Poland caused WW2.
Take the time to identify someone. This shows one's willingness to learn, and widen
the world's cultural and social views and understanding which leads to recognition.
Recognition is the first step in respectfulness and eventual liking. Without this, we will
always have dissociations, distances, and otherness. That leads to hate and animosity.
What the Administration should and must do is stop profiling its citizens by race,
language, and stupid color (as color has nothing to do with cultures, economics, and
emotions). However, Government should profile its citizen purely based on economics
as Government's primary task is to move the societal system forward through the good
times and bad times. It is the economy that dictates this movement. Color, race,
language, and emotion do not. Differentiations based on these caused obstacles,
political opportunity-ism, and social unrest.
I did not find any articles in our constitution that require or advise the government's
branches to divide and/or profile its citizen based on color, race, language, religion, or
size. Rather, the constitution asked the system to treat everyone equally.
Whatever may be the intent, keeping the whole society divided on papers, and storing
it digitally, is similar to keeping nails on the road for disaster to happen to a moving
vehicle. A vehicle is analogous to a moving society through the economy that the
government is in charge of driving using the constitution.
