Thank you for your continuing wisdom and understanding of these very perilous times.

Thank you for sharing the letter of response. It will help in bringing a more healthy and palatable discourse among disagreeing parties.

I only wish more people were willing to listen and learn.

I have thought for some time on the relationship between freedom and responsibility. I like that you clarified that rights arise from responsibilities. Thank you also for pointing out the Latin origins of the word “responsibility.” This all gives clarifying context. A psychologist I saw years ago told me once that he believed I was afraid of taking responsibility for myself because I was terrified of truly being free. Responsibility seems to be a structure healthy people hold up well.
