** [link removed] QUOTE OF THE WEEK ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
"I’m friends with George Bush. In fact, I’m friends with a lot of people who don’t share the same beliefs that I have. We’re all different, and I think that we’ve forgotten that that’s ok that we're all different. When I say, 'be kind to one another,' I don't only mean the people that think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone ([link removed]) .”
- Ellen DeGeneres ([link removed])

** Annals of Civility: Charity Event Cancelled Because Some Trump Supporters Were Invited
------------------------------------------------------------
A charity event in honor of a fallen police officer ([link removed]) has been cancelled. The reason: local police chief and a Democratic politician didn’t want Trump supporters at the event. The state: California. It is harmful to the fabric of society when sharing space with people with whom we disagree is impossible. How can we find common ground or diffuse bitterness when we can't even go to a charity ballgame together?
