His Holiness said his experience was that the American people in general tend to react quickly to developments, being very joyous when something good happened or feeling depressed when something bad took place. He suggested that they needed to take time to think over the development.

Comment: I read this great quote in John Kenney's hilarious Op-Ed in the NY Times. I'm just so sick of this endless cycle of conflict and bickering. If you listen, read or watch the news we do come across as a nation's of chickens without heads. Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! All over the place. We never stop and think. We just judge and then judge some more. There needs to be more gestation and less pontificating. Can't we come together on the important matters and stop tearing each other apart?
