IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE ALL COULD KEEP THESE PRINCIPLES FIRMLY IN MIND!

DAVID GELERTNER throws a fastball right down the middle in this fabulous essay, that ends with: 

The great Pharisee Rabbi Hillel says in the Talmud: “Do not judge your fellow-man until you have been in his place.” The Talmud says also that one must “judge every man generously,” “from the standpoint of innocence.” Neither Dr. Dobson nor his opponents have proved equal to these difficult and beautiful ideals. All we can do is keep on trying to conduct this serious debate in a serious way—and not get beaned by wild fastballs.

This is surely one of the most difficult standards of conduct to reach for normal human beings.
READ the whole thing.
