 So, that previously mentioned element in my town that believes the pandemic is a hoax and that a certain self-professed millionaire (or is it billionaire this week?) is the second coming of Christ has reared its ugly head again, this time in a very public manner. There's an intersection just up the road from me that is the focus of all kinds of signs - political in season, yard sales, information - that this morning sports a hand-lettered entry that reads "Just say no to creepy Joe and the ___". I'll leave you to fill in the rhyming word. I truly believed my town was better than this despite all our differences. I'm disappointed and saddened to see that we are not. What has happened to civil discourse? Can we not just agree to disagree? Are we all so dead certain we are right that we can't even consider another point of view, another reality? I'll admit, there are time when watching the news that I mutter unflattering things about people but I don't post those things on Facebook to Twitter or post signs. People, show a little restraint, keep the peace and we'll all get through this crazy time.
