“Contempt, rage, parsimony, racism”

Charles Schulz on what makes a good citizen
“Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country.”
