Your Opinion: Barnes column enlightening

Dear Editor:

I always look forward to reading the "Opinions' page of the News Tribune. I am oftentimes stimulated, amused, angered and surprised at some of the topics discussed, but I always come away with some degree of enlightenment.

Although the 12/7/2014 edition had only one (well-written) letter to the editor, the "Perspective' by Representative Barnes occupied the space remaining with the most insightful position on the NAACP protests that I have ever read. Without rehashing all that Mr. Barnes wrote, I just want to say that after reading his perspective, my mind and heart are much more open. Maybe the season of Advent helps to promote a more giving attitude, but wise words like Representative Barnes not only demonstrated his evolution of thought, and his commitment to represent all Missourians, it should inspire more of us to step back and evaluate before rendering knee-jerk judgments.
