Pledge

I suppose this idea of circulating an anti-bully pledge was partly inspired by the nefarious Koch brothers' pledge to prevent global warming mitigation legislation from being enacted in the national and state governments of the United States.  So thanks Koch.  Note : the Koches did not make billions of dollars by forsaking bullying.  So if you want to be that rich don't even think about committing to the following anti-bullying pledge:

I stand against bullying* no matter what form it takes and I will not use my power to practice, to promote, nor to support bullying.
     *the illegitimate use of one's superior power to harm or intimidate another or others.

If you want to be decent, fair, courageous, committed to something bigger than yourself, concerned about the greater good, this pledge is for you.
