Bill Clinton said, "There is strength in diversity." No dumber statement could ever be made. If one looks around he can see how it is not so. It is a simple fact that highways would be safer if all autos were the same size and weight. The diversity of small car, big truck, illustrates that diversity complicates things.
Birds of a feather flock together. If the birds of different feather were to flock together, some of them might starve. For one species might be more aggressive at feeding than the others, and the less aggressive therefore would suffer. In fact, some of them might feed on each other. Therefore they don't flock together. That way it is known who the dangerous ones are so that they can be avioded.
An army cannot be diverse. They have to be single minded, or they will fall apart, and be scattered. So, Bill Clinton, your aim missed. You cannot be that dumb, I think (so your intent was to deceive). So much for education. There are only two ways that diversity can be strong, one is if they who are diverse have a common thread of belief which holds them together. This can be illustrated by the fact that hostile nations can join together to fight a common enemy.
The other way that there is strength in diversity is if one dominates! Which one will, for one is unto ruin? And the one who dominates, suppresses diversity. Communism is the more perfect example of this. Capitalist, as well, if they dominate, dominate in a healthy manner, and they suppress the rogue element which erodes the worth of the properly established system.
