forgive

Those people who have been through decades of elections can confirm that it is not always easy to swallow the defeat of their candidates. Some of us even gave up eating peanut butter during the Carter years, but we never seriously protested.

The wimps and whiners are those students and professors who were too upset after the election to take or give exams, and those who damaged property while protesting. This group would do well to accept the famous quote by John F. Kennedy, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” Our military have lived and died by that creed for us.

Now we have the opportunity to forgive and forget differences and come together as one united nation.
