Isn’t it about time that the tone of the conversation in the country be ratcheted down. What’s going on now is absurd. Liberals , conservatives etc etc just stop it! How about resolving our differences peacefully with an open exchange of ideas and opinions. Take out the hate that exists today and instead, have a productive dialogue to solve the problems in the country. Understand that we are all simply human beings trying to survive on this planet. It starts with each one of us one day at a time. It starts with this column. Stop the division the rancor and vitriol. BE POSITIVE, BE RESPECTFUL.
