"I try not to be, at least publicly, overly opinionated about most issues."

Good plan. I Am probably too public about my own opinions. Some time it is important to restore a dose of reason to the debate. One example, the left is tromping off with good medicine in their sights; people need to be reminded that socialized medicine will destroy the quality of care that we have come to expect.

"Our country's level of civility is deteriorating."

How true.

"A lot of people need to back off, take a deep breath, and spend more time listening to others to better understand their points of view and attitudes. Remember, a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still."

Wise advice. I am not half as wise as many people I associate with. It is good to be reminded of this frequently.
