To the Editor:

How polarized have we become? Who is the “other”? Is it anyone who looks different? Is it anyone who speaks differently? Is it anyone who worships differently? Is it anyone who doesn’t reside in one’s own personal safety zone?

After all, many will claim, our little corner of the world exists with the proverbial white picket fence guarding our property. We’re guarded in small-town America and don’t think about changing anything.
