Well said Bob. This is a problem across the spectrum and is a result of a culture that does not promote or tolerate a diversity of views and a society that increasingly separated us into different spaces and silos.

What I hate so much about this is that whether you agree with him or not (and I agreed on some things and disagreed on some things) the way he travelled around taking questions from anyone and answering in a civil manner is exactly what we need more of.

The absolute cowardice of killing someone because you disagree with them and have dehumanised them. The political discourse simply cannot carry on like this, it's gotten so much worse in my lifetime.
