A government of, by and for the people is obligated to conduct the nation's business in a manner that respects dissent.
~ Jim Leach
Civility is not about dousing strongly held views. It's about making sure that people are willing to respect other perspectives.
The hallmark of our times is change and acceleration, but we have to provide the history.
Our culture is more shaped by the arts and humanities than it often is by politics.
