Supporting the love all theory

Thank you, Tom Pinney (August 17 column). As the Stahler cartoon just above suggests, this may indeed be our darkest hour. And, as Phil’s piece on the same page notes, the answer is love, not hatred.

These people/groups obviously feel empowered and emboldened by President Trump. Now is the time, not just for President Trump, but for every citizen in the US to stand up for what this country has stood for from the beginning. It will be a huge sea-change from what we have sunken down to, but we must all strive that everything we think, say and do is done in love, for ourselves, for each other, for our country, for all of Creation.
