Newsday reader comments of the day

Newsday's social media team is continuing a new feature that highlights user comments that are well thought out and that stand above the rest. Point of view, political or otherwise, is not taken into consideration. Effort, wit and reason are.

Storify is being used to display the comments, so there may be a few seconds' delay while it loads below. Let us know what you think of the new feature and the comments selected today.
