CIVILITY: Let's try it
I read a letter to the editor by Dan Gressler recently about “all that Obama did not do.” I must say I completely agree with the points made by Dan.
Just a short while ago I read another article about Brent Regan and the lawsuit he has filed against the Prop 2 passage by voters. I strongly disagree with Mr. Regan, but he is entitled to his opinion. Why would anyone want to deny health coverage for those in need?
Here is the point. Neither side can expect to contribute anything meaningful until we all sit down and talk thoughtfully about the subject. Loud, negative degrading the other side just causes a strong reaction from the other. As a country we are way past due to start listening to others. Time to put the ammo away and have a cup of coffee and just listen more and talk less.
