Thanks Niall! Respect might be old-fashioned, but we still need it.
Though I doubt your post will convert the abusers, it's nice every so
often to be reminded that we're all part of the same human family ...
and should treat others accordingly. One of my favorite sayings is from
the Lakota ... a Native American (Sioux) tribe ... Mitakuye oyasin ...
which, loosely translated, means "We are all relatives."
