This is a beautiful piece, sir. I hope with all my heart that our country works its way back to sanity and acceptance; it's what made us great to begin with.

Well written. I have shared with a family member who is angry about the NYC mayor but has been shaped by the limited media she listens to. I simply told her “food for thought”. Don’t know if she’ll read the whole article, but I hope so.
