More on Civility: I like Stephen King's July 4th post on Twitter: "@StephenKing · 4 Jul. Progressives, go find a Trump supporting friend--the one you haven't spoken to since November of 2016--and give him or her a hug. Trumpies, find a 'liberal snowflake' friend and do the same. Just for today, let's all be Americans."
He got a lot of flack from liberals about it, but I really love the simplicity of it. You don't have to agree, approve, or forgive. It's only one friend, only one hug, and only for one day. Reminds me of the story of St. Francis embracing the leper considered a very dangerous thing to do in his day. In its simple way, such an action can change your world.
