“It should never be about what side of the fence you are on, but, rather: what is right; fair; just; and above all, what is humane. If not, we are of no significance. We are nothing — certainly, we have nothing to offer the world of any great importance. By doing so — by doing what is right, fair, just, and humane — we ameliorate ourselves to becoming honorable people, which many of us have yet to attain.”
