Sunday column: Will we respect each other in the morning (of Nov. 5)?
My Sunday column picks up where today's Sun editorial leaves off, urging an end to the ugliness that's dividing our communities this election season. A slice:
We've heard it all.
"Queers!" (Prop 8 opponents). "Kill him!" (Obama). "Nut case!" (McCain).
The passion may be understandable given the times. What's not is the mean spiritedness of the words themselves, belying what we are as a nation and capable of destroying us quicker than any financial crisis.
Make no mistake, our heaviest burden won't come Nov. 4, Election Day, but Nov. 5, when we begin the process of rebuilding ourselves politically, socially and economically.
