People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.

While we are non-partisan, we are not value-neutral. We have a point of view.

Never talks that way when they are in the same room.

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.
