We are all concerned about the direction the country is taking. We may be coming from different points of view because of our experiences and the opportunities we have had. Yet we all wonder what if anything can be done to ameliorate the present climate of false accusation and insults.
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is taking an important step toward doing something about the nastiness we sometimes exhibit toward each other. She is helping us reacquaint ourselves as well as teach future generations about the United States Constitution and the laws which enable it. She has established a nonprofit web site (icivics.org).
I confess to being an admirer of O'Connor while she served the Court because of her ability to reach decisions based on the experience of ordinary people, her respect for legal scholarship, and her knowledge of the history of the Constitution.
Her continued effort toward this end is to be commended and could point all ages toward a more constructive climate for talking and listening to each other.
