is a great example, even though subtle. Neither candidate was able to say something nice without using it as a vehicle to add "also" stuff. Maybe not the most common example since they were fighting for the Presidency on live TV, but it did include the positive.
I watch that and it actually makes me feel a little more free, as if there is actually underlying hope that we can shed this albatross of hatred. Life would be so much better for everyone if we could function in that manner.
Hatred consumes all and produces nothing but more hatred.
