"But really itâ€™s condescending and patronizing not to make fun of someone because theyâ€™re old or stupid or crippled or morbidly obese. Banged up people donâ€™t want your pity. They just want to be treated like everyone else. Mockery, when done without prejudice or discretion, can be a form of respect. Itâ€™s the closest weâ€™ll ever come to true equality."

-- Paul Neilan

“Is there no reconciliation of some ancient quarrel, no payment of some long outstanding debt, no courtesy or love or honor to be rendered to those to whom it has long been due; no charitable, humble, kind, useful deed, by which you can promote the glory of God, or good-will among men, or peace upon earth? If there be any such, I beseech you, in God's name, in Christ's name, go and do it.”
