Comments on Stories, posted by Editor, Danville Weekly Online, on Apr 24, 2008 at 7:29 am

Dear Meghan,

Does it seem odd that WE, as the people, have to be reminded of our obligations to respect all among us?

Is such a reminder in fact an oxymoron?

Dear Meghan and OX,

An amazing article, exceptional young people and a very sobering point. Imagine all the reasons for intolerance and then imagine how we all must stand for those not tolerated.

Among my friends are Muslims, Gays, Jews, Lesbians, and even Republicans. Please imagine how much tolerance is needed for all my friends.

Funny, yes. Serious, YES.
