Thanks for this Reed. 700 years ago Dante realized that words have tremendous power. He reserved the 8th Circle of Hell for Frauds who use their words to harm others for their own gain. Our time is not much different than Dante's Florence. He dealt with liars, thieves and frauds--and named names. Seven centuries later and human nature repeats on a much bigger scale.

On RFK, Jr and other noisy, irrelevant candidates: A vote for anyone other than Joe Biden is a vote for Trump. This must be broadcast far and wide. America cannot afford the distraction of idiots.

Good article. I liked both quotes. A good quote can cover lots of sins. Let's not forget that Wisdom is ageless. Thanks, Reed, for sharing thoughts. Very helpful on how we might frame our own conversations with those of like mind as well as with those that are not quite on planet earth.
