balmofgileadI'm not sure what's changed, lately--my perspective, or the political world--but it seems that things have been looking up quite a bit.
Interesting things have been happening in Kansas.
NYTimes op-ed from last year (found that when I was trying to find out what John Danforth is all about)
It's also heartwarming to realize or remember that there are religious people who have what I consider "good" values. Hating or at least fearing people because they're religious was getting tiresome. (All of this coincides nicely with my plans to hear Jim Wallis speak tonight, too.)
**I think hate has a negative effect on the hater as well as the 'hatee' (to coin a term). But I still have a hard time not hating, sometimes.
