I believe that laughter is the best emotional Band-Aid in the world. It's like nature's Neosporin.
I agree that it is not just the extremists who harbor bad thoughts or engage in bad acts, but they are usually the source of the polarization and try to keep education and communication of the main stream from moving forward.
I think it's the end of progress if you stand still and think of what you've done in the past. I keep on.
