Word – I’m not optimistic about those who remain ignorant (by choice) or who are bigoted changing their minds no matter what. If past efforts by government, schools, houses of worship and in the home haven’t reached them, then perhaps they don’t want to be reached.

The best leaders, including our new President elect, know this and live this as best as they are able, which is all we can ever do.

Hence, his very conciliatory acceptance speech.

Instead of merely talking about change, we need to live it.

Glad we have a leader at the helm willing to do that, one who rarely points fingers on the rhetorical stage, the very means of his ascendency to the top.

“Be careful you don’t become like that which you hate.”

@ella: She’s not a sympathetic character on the surface; but the Buddhists, as you may know, say there is no real sin, only ignorance.

Hopefully, one of the first items on the new administration’s agenda will be education, so we can combat the real evil fueling hatred and fear, ignorance.
