The principle for Day #18 on the 101-day book report says: "Think globally. To think we are special diminishes others."

I'm watching the news unfold as immigrants are staging massive protests nationwide. Lawmakers were trying to make it a felony to be in this country illegally, but now they're backing off.

Now, try to imagine a country where there are 10 million felons running around. Your kids go to school with their kids. Beware the landscaper, the roofer, and your cleaning lady. Aiding and abetting a felon is, umm, a felony, I think.

What we are seeing here with these protests are the things that make America great: freedom of speech and Democracy at work. But the prejudice that caused it diminishes us all.
