Americans are angry and divided – perhaps more than at any time since the Civil War.

Holding strong opinions, especially in defense of truth, is no vice.

But failing to bridge our differences and resolve them peacefully is no virtue, either.

Here’s my “to do” list if you want to be part of the solution instead of the problem.

I hope he’s right. But in any event, no peace of any kind can prevail so long as we nurture conflict within and between ourselves. No peace of any kind can long be imposed from the outside in. It must begin on the inside, as a matter of conscience, one conscientious individual at a time, and then grow outward into a course of action.

These 16 suggestions constitute a course of action for each reader to consider.
