Letter: Make America kind again

By Elise Astleford  , VANCOUVER

Let’s irradiate “fear” from our personal and political discourse. Replace it with “perseverance, thoughtfulness, respect, creativity, reflection.” All of us are smarter than any of us alone. Let’s work for win-win! Live in possibilities.

“Fight” engenders fear, anger, hatred, violence, even paranoia and suicide. It shuts down thought and creativity. It interferes with community. Let’s put our minds together and create possibility. Make America kind again — or for the first time.
