Nothing New Here

I look back at my last post, just before New Year's, and I cringe. That was merely a general statement about various trends in the stream of news and public consciousness. And now we have someone who's shot an Arizona congresswoman and over a dozen other people.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let's all find a way to get along with our neighbors, coworkers, fellow supermarket customers, commentators in cyberspace, etc. as they are here to stay. Thinking we can wave a wand and change the attitudes of all who don't agree with us is foolish. Thinking we can (or should) exterminate them is also foolish. Thinking that there are others who want to exterminate US because we disagree with THEM is downright terrifying.

All we can do is begin with ourselves. Today.
