Words to live by

Two prominent Democrats lament the degradation of civil
discourse in graduation addresses:

Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles,
told University of Southern California graduates it was "poisoning our
politics."

Mark Warner, former Virginia governor speaking at Wake
Forest University, criticized the "personal and partisan attacks" and
"complex issues reduced to easy-to-digest sound bites."

"No one â€” no one â€” in politics has a monopoly on virtue,
on patriotism,
or most importantly, on the truth," Mr. Warner said.
"And that goes for
everyone, from conservative to liberal."
