Across the Divide

By Julius Nicholas 

There always will be differences of opinion, but this is supposed to be basically a Christian nation. We should at least be able to agree to do unto others as we would want done to ourselves. I know none of the Trump people would want to be treated the way I am treated if I'm black, Indian, Mexican, Muslim or some other minority and let's not even consider sex or gender. 

The government should hear all of us rather than forcing us to fight each other for justice. By the time the average man realizes what this approach is doing, his life will be stripped of all value and totally controlled by a select few. We've seen slavery before and ain't going back.

This exchange is typical of our national discourse today. "If this Facebook page is headed back to politics it's time to move off to the other West Chester FB pages. Many of us cherish West Chester but have very different opinions on ObamaCare, President Trump, Liberals or Immigration. Do we really want to discuss our differences here?"

This was the reply. "I guess discussion is impossible. Shame. We're still going to have to deal with it."
