President Ford held a press conference in which he shared a message that we all should heed today:
Feb 1, 2021
“Humor can help you to disagree without being disagreeable. The key in democracy is not necessarily that we agree, but that we participate. Despite all the heavy problems — domestic and international — there is humor. Humor transcends partisanship. The American people are basically interested in humor and laughter… and that’s an excellent characteristic of our people. It would be a good idea for people in business and other professions — especially ones that have an exaggerated opinion of their power and influence — to be able to laugh at themselves.”
