on what is a painful day for many of us, i thought these concluding words from lincoln's second inaugural address might be fitting:
with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
May these words from one republican guide the every action of our next president as well as our own.
