Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Our next step

Julie is one of the most socially conscious people I know, and I've learned
some beautiful lessons from her on how to treat other people and how to be
gracious (sometimes under fire).  I approve her idea wholeheartedly.  Not
only does kindness make the giver feel good, but kindness to others reaps
enormous benefits of good will.
