I am saddened by the shooting of Arizona Rep Gabrielle Gifford and the lives lost by the senseless acts of an out of control shooter. This is an example of the hate and guile that I deplore.
Certainly not everyone who is hateful will take up arms toward those they disagree with. However, Right or Left, they are part of the problem we are facing in America today.
Just yesterday I wrote on the subject of ire in politics. Here is a perfect display of ire taken to extreme. When will we ever learn that ire aids nothing. In fact, it defeats communication and potential healing.
We are often tempted to take the low road in communication because of rhetoric of those who oppose us. Let us not match their behavior. Lets take the high road that is far more likely to work.
Sometimes civility will not work but lets do it anyway. It's the Right Thing!
