Linda -- I'm right behind you with both my curmudgeon shoes and overcoat.

The vitriol is so unproductive that it tends to drive any moderate voice away from public discourse, thus leaving the forum to the frothing fringes on either side of an issue.

I’m putting on my curmudgeon hat to complain about the lack of “civil discourse”—what your Mom and first grade teacher called “good manners.”  It’s everywhere, on facebook, the radio, TV.  Disagreement is diversity in action, it helps us reach good decisions.  But invective, name calling, and bathroom language are harmful, demonizing those we disagree with. They arise from that oldest part of the brain--which is strictly concerned with survival—good that it keeps us breathing, but bad when it gets us on that “us or them” path that eventually leads to great evils, like genocide.  Jesus and the Beatles were right when they talked about love.  It’s a hard job, but it’s the second commandment and it’s really all we need.

We need an African American Male 35-40 for a commercial shoot in Spokane on the 23rd of May. No acting experience necessary, just an extra role. Pays around $106.00 for around 2-3 hours. Please send pictures ASAP to dreamcatchersjosh@gmail.com! Thanks! Tell friends too! If you are culturally diverse, please send pictures as well, we always like having a pool to choose from for last minute bookings, such as this one!

Spokane Mayor Mary Verner today is encouraging the citizens of Spokane to join her at the NAACP’s “Demand Justice and Promote Peace March” on Sunday, April 3, starting at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena at 3 p.m.

 

“The Spokane I know is a loving, accepting place that believes in equality,” says Mayor Verner.  “As a community, we must continue to visibly stand up against racism and hatred.  I am encouraging our citizens to show our support of this event and the critical work of the NAACP.”

 

The event will commemorate the 43^rd anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and follows the placement of an explosive device along the route of Spokane’s annual Unity March on MLK Day this January.

 

The featured speaker is Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).  The event is sponsored by the NAACP Alaska, Oregon, and Washington State-Area Conference and the Spokane chapter.
