We live in a world filled with language. Language imparts identity, meaning, and perspective to our human community. Writers are either polluters or part of the clean-up team. Just as the language of power and greed has the potential to destroy us, the language of reason and empathy has the power to save us. Writers can inspire a kinder, fairer, more beautiful world, or invite selfishness, stereotyping, and violence. Writers can unite people or divide them.

When AIDS hit, lots of people banded together to take care of each other and do what the government wasn't doing.

That's a great maxim to the gay community, and we took it to heart; we took care of our own.
