New Year’s Resolution

For 2009, I’m making a resolution that I hope we all can share.
In the hope for real positive change in the coming year,
I pledge that I will try to better understand those who disagree
with my political, religious and philosophical points of view,
avoid dismissing their ideas without first listening to them,
and not use derogatory terms to diminish them and their beliefs.
I’ll try my best. Will you join me?
