A July 4th declaration of civility

Public discourse of late has become increasingly volatile and cacophonous. Let’s not waste our inheritance with divisive and useless bickering. Instead, let’s look to this July 4th as a time for a revolution within our own characters and behaviors toward others. Let us pledge to unite together under a declaration of civility—to respect, listen, wait, encourage, lift and befriend each other as we work together to tackle the important issues our of day.
