HELLO.

I know we've all been through hell the last eight years. I know we can't know the hell that the soldiers who gave their lives went through. I know you all to be strong and wonderful people. Can you not find it in your soul to be gracious, or at least to abstain from being non-gracious?

I would rather live in the present wonderful moment than to wallow in the negative emotions of revenge and hate.

Let's move forward.

1. Totally agree--we can lead by example, but
I will keep calling out error when it pops up. We can do both and be dignified.

There is so much on our plate right now, we cannot afford to stay apart.

2. Yes and, thereby, Justice is Enhanced!
Nothing needs to be ignored, no wrongs, no crimes, no harms forgotten. All justly noted and duly dealt with in truth and equanimity intensified by Civility.
