Yes, there isn't much more you can add really, other than to say the current crop of loony left and hard line, right wing foolish and irrational people, could learn from pondering this quote.
I don't often mention my political views seeing as the last time I did, I was called a racist and a terrorist because what I said wasn't politically correct.
I had to point out to this woman that I grew up in a totally different world where people didn't worry about hurting anyone else's feelings and we still had something called freedom of speech here in the USA.
My views are just that, my own, and happen to be based on my own experiences, which is why I have decided to refuse to discuss them.
People tend to freak out if you don't believe what they believe in. Pardon me, if I grew up in a world where you could speak your mind and not have to worry about getting in trouble for it.
Thanks Randy. Yes, everyone is entitled to their views, it's one of the reasons we have 'freedom of speech.' It's important we value what other people have to say in the same way they must value what we have to say.
It's important not only when we're discussing politics, but in our personal lives too that we are politically correct. It's courteous, its respectful and its polite.

It's what we should all be aiming for.
A spiritual view to me means that you're following the whispering of your heart, it's much bigger than someone's political agenda.
But please notice how politicians try to blend them together.
Thanks Tim. You're right and they do. Politicians may try pull wool, but we must work with our own truth and continue to put that out.
I believe the universe will always try to balance where it can.
