King-sized request: Return to civility

Today is the day we set aside to note the life and beliefs of the Rev.


Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


I express my thoughts on how we might commemorate King’s beliefs in my print column today.


In light of what the nation has endured over the past week, it might not be a bad idea to refresh ourselves with the message of non-violence that King preached again and again.


No, I don’t want to point fingers at one party or another, one ideology or another. I don’t want to assign blame.


What I want is a little civility, a return to the time when we could discuss our differences in a rational manner.


At least for today, let that be our dream.
