KEEP YOUR SERVICE ANIMAL
Fair Housing & Animals
The federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) makes it illegal for landlords to refuse to make necessary and reasonable accommodations, or changes, to their rules and policies for people with disabilities.
Allowing a disabled tenant to live with their companion or service animal is a common reasonable accommodation under the FHA. This includes waiving an existing “no-pet” policy for tenants with mental or physical disabilities who require an animal for medical purposes.
The Housing Rights Center is a non-profit organization established in 1968 to actively support and promote equal opportunity and freedom of residence to all persons without regard to their race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, familial status, disability, marital status, gender identity, gender expression, age, source of income, or other characteristics protected by law.
• Deny you the right to live with your companion or service animal
• Charge you a pet deposit fee or other surcharge
• Not allow your companion or service animal to be with you in common areas
LETTERS
The Wise and the Immature
Regarding Lois Eisenberg’s letter (March 11) about a handful of U.S. Olympic athletes “moonlighting” as political activists, I am conflicted. On one hand I strongly disagree with her, but on the other I feel comfortable in saying she is flat-out wrong. This matter of Olympics athletes using their opportunity to compete globally as a soapbox to bash the president is smack dab in the category of “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.” Not only that, it’s petty and ugly and taints the event we really came to watch. I can say the same for licensed gun owners taking loaded weapons to events that are known to turn violent. Sure, you have the “right” to do it, but is it “right” to do it? This is where we separate the wise from the immature, people looking to do good from people looking either for attention or to start trouble.
Athletes, like their Hollywood counterparts, are part of the entertainment industry. They perform partly to represent a COUNTRY and compete against each other, but mostly to entertain us, the audience, without whom they wouldn’t even exist as such. Well, they might exist, but they’d better have a day job to pay the bills. I highly doubt anyone intelligent needs to listen to the opinions of athletes, or anyone else for that matter, to formulate their own opinions or draw conclusions about someone or something, so what’s really going on here?
Oh, and “lest we forget,” an opinion is not necessarily the truth, it’s just one person’s perspective. And, as Rick Sanchez of “Rick and Morty” fame used to say, “Sorry, but your opinion means very little to me.”

ETHICALLY SPEAKING
Civility, Care and Criticism
By David Hegg
Given that critique has become one of our most enjoyed national pastimes, I’m offering some thoughts on how to shape our criticisms in ways that can spur understanding, progress and acceptable change rather than incite anger, division and retaliation. Whether you express your opposition face-to-face or engage in a war of words in a column or letter to the editor, the following suggestions can help your comments and criticisms bring benefit rather than further acrimony. Before going on, I must confess my own bias in this area. Every leader becomes the target of criticism, and I am no exception. So, drawing on my years of experience as an emotional punching bag, I offer these suggestions to those of you who find yourselves displeased with others’ actions, opinions, or criticisms, and feel the need to respond.
arguments sound? Will your past behavior, or the allowances you’ve made, paint you as a hypocrite? Have you distinguished yourself as someone who is always upset about something? Or have you shown you are a level-headed, reasonable person whose insights will be received as valuable?
Fifth, when you realize that a conversation with someone is needed rather than a hastily written letter, start with these three words: “Help me understand …” Almost certainly, despite your efforts to know everything, there are things you don’t know. When you seek first to understand, and only then to inform, you start with a much higher chance of achieving mutual understanding and agreement.
First, get your facts straight. Regardless of how you see things, you almost never have all the facts, especially if you’ve “heard” about the problem rather than been a principal in it. I can tell you from experience that the retelling of stories, even by good and trusted friends, often comes with bias and prejudice baked in. So, before you embarrass yourself with an ignorant foray into a harsh confrontation, make sure you have at least 90% of the truth.
Second, set your expectations. As you prepare to confront a leader, or someone you believe has acted or written wrongly, ask yourself what you hope to accomplish. Are you simply mad and just want to rant? Are you willing to critique your own position first? Are you expecting a complete change of mind and action on the part of the one you’re confronting? And most importantly, if you’ve spotted a problem, are you willing to be part of the solution?
Third, lose the emotion. If all you want is to hurt the other person, then just rush in and say things you’ll later regret. But if you want to understand, engage in dialogue, and see progress, realize that emotional outbursts, generalizations, hurtful statements, and, above all, threats will never add up to being heard, understood and valued. Fourth, scan your own position carefully. Are your
Lastly, civility is everything if, in person or in writing, you are actually attempting to bring about a change of perspective. Be clear, be correct, but also be kind. Making your opponent mad will never make them respect your opinion. Demand the best of yourself and treat the other person the way you want them to treat you.
In our world, conflict is inevitable. Even worse, since the advent of social media, the likelihood that errors will be taken as fact has grown exponentially. And to top it off, we’ve become a society that no longer holds to basic rules of interpersonal civility.
What is most astounding is this great paradox: It is evident that the world we now inhabit considers we have the right to offend, but also the right to never be offended. These contradictory maxims have both become “unalienable rights” in a society that considers it proper to be greatly offensive to those they deem offensive.
In the end, all I’m campaigning for is a return to mature adulthood on the part of those purporting to be mature adults. Sadly, we have enough models of childish behavior. If we’re ever to regain a level of real civility, it will have to start with us, the common folk, who still remember when polite conversation, even in times of conflict, left us all feeling better for having engaged in conversations that pointed the way to mutual respect.
