We refuse to gather information from more than one source, and we assume such a source is irrefutable. We believe everything we hear if it is repeated more than twice. We have allowed irrational anger and narrow mindedness to take over civil discourse, and we have let the angry and narrow minded usurp our better angels. Finally, too many of us cannot see the wisdom in the separation of church and state. The line has been blurred and that is most assuredly not healthy in a democracy.

There comes a time when we must say „Stop!“ If we are in this together, we must stick together not only as people, but as determined brokers of our future.
