We need to learn to share and play nice together. To flush and to always say I'm sorry!!! I think I will read that book again Everything I Ever Needed to Know I Learned In Kindergarten..Maybe I will send a copy to Washington DC too!

I work to make sure that I have information with which to form an opinion, and I try to avoid knee-jerk reactions to any issue. I feel that the joy this country takes in spewing hatred isn't just polarization, but a warning of what might come. We have to fight it, and exercising the tools of reason, tolerance, courtesy and civility are the weapons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-1908558124763343282004-06-27T07:03:00.000-07:002004-06-27T07:03:00.000-07:00I'm voting for you in November.I'm voting for you in November.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-87344455327576179962004-06-27T10:53:00.000-07:002004-06-27T10:53:00.000-07:00Just a note to let you know I was here.

Everyone doesn&#...Well, it's all *right, Lisa. Everyone doesn't have to agree with you. :-)<br><br>I went to the bookstore today, and I looked at the books on both sides of the political curve. In essence, "liberals suck" versus "George W. Bush is a homicidal maniac." lol Truly, most of America is way in the middle between these two. Most of the part of America *I know is sadly misinformed on the topics anyway, (including myself, to a degree), and they just want people to behave reasonably. <br><br>And yes, some people are going to act like a**holes, and sometimes I do, <br>too. :-/ But it's not only evident in the political spectrum. Any look at popular culture and the realization that people are watching shows called "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance" lets you know there's been a real breakdown of good manners in this society. Of course that will affect all areas, including political.<br><br>Oh, if only this was coming out the way I intend it. lol But, you know, don't let it bother you that some people have extreme views. Let it be their problem. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-87193789659462275802004-06-29T07:41:00.000-07:002004-06-29T07:41:00.000-07:00I think you've hit upon why so many Americans have...I think you've hit upon why so many Americans have checked out of politics lately... they're tired of hearing the arguments ratcheted up to ridiculous extremes, and see all politicians as engaged in the same stupidity.<br><br>Personally, I think the Clinton bashers wasted an obscene amount of the government's time and money. Did we really need to spend $70 million to find out that Bill was cheating on his wife? Since when did infidelity become a matter of national security? Meanwhile, for George W. and Cheney to be doing business with the Taliban and Osama bin Laden... THAT is national security! Are we spending $70 million to uncover that?<br><br>I saw a commentator last night saying that making the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 was un-American, because of the way it criticized the President. If we go by that standard, then we should have arrested the entire Republican party for treason back in the late 1990s.<br><br>And we're trying to spread democracy to other countries by force? How about spreading it in our own?<br><br>Lisa<br>http://journals.aol.com/eviltwin13/Title13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-75296395419752632722004-07-01T20:33:00.000-07:002004-07-01T20:33:00.000-07:00Well said....until we begin to see our leaders as ...Well said....until we begin to see our leaders as fallible human beings, and not expect them to be perfect, then we will be unhappy. What has happened to our country is truly sad. We are the richest country in the world, spinning around like a mad dog biting it's own tail. We need to be compassionate with each other, and with the other countries...I'm just babling here, when you summed it up so beautifully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
