I reject flippancy and insensitivity and I will neither accept it nor  
get used to it.

The purpose of civilization is to raise humans above their base animal  
instincts. By banding together we can improve everyone's lot.

America is an experiment in building a superior civilization. We here  
have all benefited from the experiment. How we conduct ourselves as we  
go forward will speak to our values. My values include being sensitive  
to the needs of my fellow humans.
