We have seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty. At times, it can seem like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together. Argument turns too easily into animosity. Disagreement escalates into dehumanization. Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples while judging ourselves by our best intentions forgetting the image of God we should see in each other." George W. Bush
I ponder this quote often, it isn't an easy one to live up to, but a good one to be reminded of.
