I find the best humor to make at someone else's expense is self-deprecating. If you're going to make fun of SOMEONE, it had better be you. Jokes about another person are cutting; jokes about other people or other groups are damaging.

Love the Lincoln quote showing real class. I recall writing a paper in a philosophy class known as Contemporary and Moral Issues about a philosopher named Verene. He advocated that the solution to the technological society (jaques Illul) is laughter. I so believe that laughter is healing! Great essay. Thanks for bringing some joy into the points that are especially needed today.
