 “The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.” 
      George Bernard Shaw

We continue with another story about the golden rule.  In this interview with Suzanne Kite, she says that  progressives value the Golden Rule, "Treat people like you’d like to be treated, and don’t gossip."  As she says, "The problem is in politics there’s always gossip". I'm finding there seems to be a lot of different  versions of the Golden Rule.

We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.”     Edwin Markham

Suzanne Kite on the Golden Rule

My name is Suzanne Kite.  I live in Marina del Ray and am on the Board of Directors of the West L.A. Democratic Club, a member of Democratic Club of West Side progressives, a new club, and also Events Chair for the club.

It’s so different for everybody.  I think that progressive values are the values that I was taught and many people were as a child to follow the golden rule, to do for others as you would have them do for you.  Treat people like you’d like to be treated, and don’t gossip,
