60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey: When and How Did We Arrive at Discord

<p>Hello to you listening around the world!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey with your host Diane Wyzga.</p><p>About a block from my library or a block from the post office sits a house on a corner. Propped against this house I saw a very large sheet of plywood. Spray-painted in large black letters were these words: <strong>Kill Lawyers - Not Cops</strong>.    </p><p>Putting aside any 1st Amendment right of free speech arguments or the notion that many folks don’t like lawyers until they need one, I have a question: When and how did we arrive at this place? When and how did we depart from human kindness, civility, and manners?  </p><p>I’ve often spoken to the man who lives in this house as I passed by on my walk, admired his sunflowers, commented on the weather. I plan to walk up to his door and say, “<i>I am a lawyer. Are you going to kill me? Or do you wish someone would</i>?” I want to hear how he arrived at his position. And then perhaps get him to put away his larger-than-life sign before some yahoo takes him up on the dare.</p><p><strong>Practical Tip</strong>: Be of speech a little more careful than anything else today, tomorrow, and forever.  </p><p><strong>You’re invited</strong>: “<i>Come for the stories - stay for the magic!</i>” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, including Android, Amazon Music and Audible and join us next time! <strong>Remember to stop by the website, check out the Services, arrange a Discovery Call, and Opt In to stay current with Diane and </strong><a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank"><strong>Quarter Moon Story Arts</strong></a> and on <strong>Linked In</strong>: linkedin.com/in/diane-f-wyzga-78403919a  </p><p><strong>Stories From Women Who Walk Production Team</strong></p><p>Podcaster: Diane F Wyzga & <a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank">Quarter Moon Story Arts</a></p><p>Music: Mer’s W
