A small comment uplifting another person is such a fundamentally easy thing to do, yet most of us have a hard time doing it on a regular basis. As in keeping your head down when swinging at a golf ball, you absolutely know you need to do it, but at least in my case I am only successful about 50% of the time. We just have to keep working at it. Thanks John!

Sonia Sotomayor is a wonderful person. I met her when she was an undergrad at Princeton. Two women that I went to high school with were also attending. I think that she came with us to a Chinese restaurant in Kendall Park. One of the women because a federal prosecutor at EDNY where Sotomayor was a judge. I've only heard good things about her.

Speaking of good acts and concern for others, have you read about how Martin Luther King Jr. paid the hospital bill for the birth of Julia Roberts? Yes, that Julia Roberts. It's a great story.

It is easy to be caught up in one's own personal affairs and lose track of other people's situations. Justice Sotomayor's nice words about Justice Thomas's kindness are an excellent example of how people should treat each other.

From what I have read previously, Justice Sotomayor's words ring true, but it seems to me that Thomas only really cares about people he knows or is familiar with.

Here's Thomas today (October 31st, 2022) on the bench saying, “I've heard the word diversity quite a few times, and I don't have a clue what it means." He went on to say he didn’t “put much stock in that because I’ve heard similar arguments in favor of segregation too.”

This is a serious man? He was assistant secretary of education for the Office for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Education and chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and he doesn't have a clue what diversity means?

The fact that he refuses to recuse himself in cases where conflicts of interest are evident leaves many people wondering if he has a clue what "ethics" means.
