I'm perplexed, too, as to why the solution to age-old political differences is violence and carnage. I don't get that mentality. Love thy neighbor...yes indeed. A wise and wonderful read, Sara

Thank you Sara! I guess it's a somewhat naïve thought. Expecting humans to change, what history has taught us over and over again!
