I was recently reminded of a wonderful quote that, quite frankly, can't be heard too often. As the late, great Kurt Vonnegut said, "There's only one rule that I know of, babies — God damn it, you've got to be kind."
It's not easy to remember that idea these days, however, especially online, where partisan attitudes are pretty well entrenched and even measured, cogent debate, let alone kindness, is a rarity. But we got a wonderful reminder of why it's important recently.
