As we enter what promises to be one of the most polarizing divisive presidential campaigns this nation’s ever seen, I want to leave some food for thought. Below is a quote from President Kennedy’s Commencement Address to the American University in 1963 that gives me chills anytime I hear it. Let’s take it to heart and see what’s possible in 2008.

So, let us not be blind to our differences — but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.
