What truth can we gleam, from "Horton Hears a Who?" by Dr. Suess.?

"A person is a person, no matter how small."

Dr. Seuss was an anti-semite, so I'm not sure how he could stand by that statement, yet I completely agree with that quote.

You know I asked myself the same question!

It made me think about Life as an organism, and humanity as a smaller organism, and the individual as an even smaller organism, and his emotions and experiences as smaller organisms still.

The trend continues both upward and down, from the tiniest molecule to the expanding universe.

The connection came with the movies suggestion that every life, even in the microscopic, can be equally complex and important.

I thought further still (from dietary health and politics, to pantheism and telekinesis) but I will spare you the five-page essay.

That people are so provincial they can think of nothing but their own tiny world.

But, the BEST Seuss is The Sneetches ... it interlaces racism, rampant consumerism, gullibility ... Dr. Seuss is the poet laureate of childhood IMHO.

Dr Suess is rolling in his grave right now.

that Dr. Suess rocks!

Treat others with respect and dignity (at least the law-abiding people).

That 'no wonder americans are all so dumb, if they grew up reading stupid stories like this'.

English Dr Seuss hater.

That midgets are people too.

a person is a person no matter how small... except fetuses, which can be aborted
