84. Also, politics should humanize us

and help us see the awful paradigms to which we (and I mean me as well) are enslaved. I truly wish to get others to join us in that struggle to free ourselves from these awful paradigms. For me, that includes reducing our spending on the military-industrial complex, asking more from those who benefit most in our society, and spending that towards better education and health care for all. Bearing all that in mind, I try my best to be aware that others will read my posts who may not have the same ideologies or policy preferences as mine. I believe I will only win them over, so they can see that this will also benefit them and their loved ones, by practicing the kind of tolerance and thoughtfulness that I would wish be extended toward me in time of devastating loss like suicide. Maybe I'm nuts, but I think that how we respond publicly or on a message board to difficult events like this reflects maybe some small part of our humanity. Thank you for your post. Have a good weekend.
