Feeling grateful to Micheal Wade for this civil political debate we had on Twitter.
Cases were made. Viewpoints exchanged. Ground was given. Complexities of the issue noted. We walked away with minds not changed, yet enriched.

If there’s one quality I simply can’t abide, in anyone or at any time, it’s hypocrisy.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Keep your word, honestly and faithfully.

The more I talk to, read about, and really listen to the way they process problems and come up with practical solutions, the more I’m convinced that our current generation of kids 18 and younger have all of this figured out and we should just hand the world over to them.
Embrace difference…
Difference is a blessing, not a challenge. We define ourselves by knowing other people. We know our world by learning about difference. What is the word we often use? Tolerance. Is that a positive notion? Not really. ‘For the time being, I will tolerate you?’ I’m against that concept. It means difference is a threat. Difference is a blessing and you don’t tolerate a blessing. You embrace it.
