Missing: Common sense and any resemblance of it.

In society today, nobody thinks any more. I mean people affiliated with both political parties. Things are said and done off the cuff — really vile, repulsive things.

Today, your feelings count and no one else's. There is no room for discussion. If you don't think one way, you're wrong.

According to some, you now have the right to shame others into your beliefs. You have the right to confront, yell, disrupt anytime, anywhere.

You can refuse service to customers because you don't like their job or who they work for. That was the prerogative of the owner of the Red Hen restaurant, but she had no right to follow the group across the street to another restaurant and yell outside, especially since Sarah Sanders had already left the group.

It's a slippery slope going down that hole. It can work against you.

The restaurant owners would have done a greater service by offering the Sanders group free desserts from the LGBT workers to try to change their attitudes. Kill ‘em with kindness; don’t stab ‘em in the back. 

In high school debate club (years ago), sometimes the teachers would assign you the side opposite of your beliefs so you could get another perspective of the subject. There are always at least two sides of every story.

Stop and think before you say or do something.

In life as you travel through it, most roads are two-way. Be careful not to blow it up going along. You might just need to make a U-turn.
