Letter to the editor: Those who think differently are not enemies

I was truly saddened by Michael J. Kardell’s letter “Toomey should be thrown out of Republican Party” (March 12, TribLIVE). “They” don’t think exactly like me, so “they” are my enemies. The fact is that no one else thinks exactly like we do in all things. (Even Sen. Pat Toomey’s constituents don’t all think alike!) Pretty soon everyone becomes one of “them” and we are left all alone.

But we don’t live very well when we are all alone. We need each other. And to live together we need to listen to each other. “They” just might have something worthwhile to hear.
