50 years ago today.....and today

"So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.

Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us."

Commentary on today's political climate in the aftermath of the tragedy in Tucson? Nope. Those words are from exactly 50 years ago - today is the 50th anniversary of JFK's inaugural address. Granted, they were written in regard to the Cuban missile crisis, but they are as poignant and apt today as they were then.

Time to play nice, people. Try talking to each other instead of closing your eyes and screaming your beliefs at people who don't see things the way you do. People are always going to have differences of opinion, we can learn to live with them/each other, or we can continue down our current path of divisiveness and mistrust. It's up to us.

That is all.
