LETTER: Hateful speech promotes more hate

Recent news is begging us to at least try to limit or end violence and hatred. It has become so horrible that it’s really difficult to bear. One sane and simple thing we could do as human beings is to refrain from using rhetoric comparing our president to Hitler or Nazis. Plain and simple, he is no more a Nazi or Hitler than my sweet grandmother was. If you want to see what Nazis do, go to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum in Israel, and see what the Nazis did to innocent Jewish people and many others.  

It has become abundantly clear that this type of hateful speech promotes more hate, violence, killing and pure evil. It provides nothing positive to our well-being. Please hold back from using such language when writing to a public newspaper. Your words might just be the words that push the next person to act on their derangement.

In addition,  thank you, Mark Ferrante, for all your thoughtful letters to the editor.
