Hang your head in shame, world!

I saw this posted on Cute With Chris. It really hit home. Probably my biggest dislike about modern politics is the way no one seems to make an effort to understand or be tolerant of differences. In policy, obviously, differences are embraced; in reality...not so much.
I am reminded of a song...
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

Seriously. If a dog and an elephant can do, why not people too?
