The Problem: ===== Recently a new family has moved into your town. They seem nice, but there is something very strange about them. You think and think about what it is that makes them so different. Finally, it hits you --- they have green eyes. The town you live in is populated only with people that have blue eyes. And just as you imagined, when the townspeople hear the news concerning the new family they are in immediate shock. Your town's peaceful and welcoming attitude has quickly changed. Store owners begin closing their stores at the sight of the green-eyed family. "No green eyes will shop here," they say. Residents whose families have lived in your town for years are now packing up their things and leaving. They have no desire to associate with individuals that have green eyes. But worst of all, before long townspeople are encouraging violence as a way of dealing with the green-eyed family. Young people are encouraged to vandalize the green-eyed family's home. They ask you to join them, will you? Soon some men are assembling groups that will go together to the home of the green-eyed family. When you hear of their plans, you wonder what will happen. Will violence ensue? What has the family done to deserve the cruel treatment they have received since moving to your town?
