Falwell hatred issue: It is about Civility. We need civility in a just society.

[Morereason]

I have not posted about Falwell, but have been "lurking". I have to say while I understand both sides...

I "Get" what the folks objecting are saying. And it is not being heard.

If we are going to build a better society, WE MUST HAVE A PLACE FOR CIVILITY. Destructive anger, which is basically what I think we are allowing to get the better of us, is not something that is consistant with making a Just and Progressive society. Destructive anger derails Democracy. It inflates and kills communication. It is human and happens, but it is a root of violence and is not healthy.

If we want a just society simply "Demanding" it and having an angry revolution or some such does nothing. Look at the former Soviet Union.

Who are we emulating and learning from? Leaders in the progressive movement? Philosophers of peace? Ghandi?

There are times when just people have to fight in anger, but only when absolutely necessary. This is not one of those times.

By allowing this kind of anger, venting, whatever your want to call it, we only hurt what we think we want to do.

If we want to make a better world we have to fight this side of our human nature. Learn. Understand. Love.
