A Robert Reich's facebook post
Post by Robert Reich.
We can (and should) disagree with one another on all sorts of issues. That's the essence of a free and democratic society. The problem comes when disagreement is expressed through venomous name-calling, mindless vitriol, and ad hominem attack, rather than through debate and deliberation. Hatefulness too often blinds us to what we hold in common; it makes it impossible for us to listen to opposing views; and it serves as cover for the powerful and privileged who would rather divide us than have us join together for the common good.
