Try the high road people

I find many of the entries of my friends today very disturbing.

I expected to read about sadness, anger, feeling devalued, even despair and rage. So many have had their own aspirations set aside, or in some cases taken away. Truly terrible stuff.

But if the best you can come up with is personal attacks about people's grooming, facility with language, or religious beliefs, you're part of the problem.

You want a nation whose values reflect reason, dialogue and pluralism? Then at least feign it with respect to your own conduct.
