Is the New Year the new year for only a day? I guess it depends on how long our resolutions last. Here we are in 2008, and the presidential election is well underway. There have been many debates, which is good and healthy. And as so often happens, the negative campaign ads have begun. This is not particularly helpful, but in this country, negative ads work.
What does that say about us as a people? I hope that in 2008 we can all resolve to conduct ourselves with a bit more civility. Remember when you are discussing the upcoming elections and the various candidates that you can choose to either be a part of a growing civility movement, or you can choose to be uncivil. Either way you go, it will make a difference. The question is, what kind of difference do you want to make? I hope you resolve to be civil, and that your resolution lasts throughout the new year!
