I've been thinking about all of the years I sat on non profit boards, including the League of Women Voters. I held every league job title locally and was a board member for at least fifteen years. We talked and talked and we planned until we exhausted every topic. We registered voters and supported the exchange of ideas and preached civil discourse was the way.
Sometimes, the ideas expressed, by our guests or members, were just flat wrong, but we smiled and allowed everyone a platform until their time was up.
Now, I feel sorry for not standing up to say that every idea doesn't deserve a platform provided by me. That making those ideas seem equal to the others somehow gave them credence. Just like mainstream media does now.
I thought I was doing the right thing but hindsight tells me not.
Never again will I fail to speak up and speak out. I hope it's not too late.
