Right when I think I'm doing better, someone will bring up a topic I've researched and I'll blast in with a point that I think is so <i>obviously</i> correct. And that might be only minutes after I've criticized people who do exactly that.<br /><br />But it's not the people like us who make policy in Washington or make millions spouting opinions on TV and radio. My next post will be an attempt to explain how those people got their jobs, and how that's part of the problem.<br /><br />Love you!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007487096378869462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16875673.post-28526137937270428692012-03-09T00:20:01.341-06:002012-03-09T00:20:01.341-06:00I wasn't sure WHAT to say--I'm probably ON...I wasn't sure WHAT to say--I'm probably ONE of 'the ones' who are PART of our PROBLEM--but, hope not.<br /><br />I do know that I have MORE of an OPEN MIND--to 'new' things, as I grow older, which is a good thing.<br /><br />And, I TOTALLY AGREE with Debby--in that WHEN we disagree--can't we ALL just 'AGREE TO DISAGREE'--RESPECTFULLY--without calling anyone by any names?????!!!!!!!

In the creating of this new country, there were strong opinions about how things needed to be done. John Adams felt, for instance, that the president should be called 'His Majesty'. Others felt very strongly about 'Mr. President'. But despite the sharp disagreements, it was polite. They referred to each other respectfully. In this way a country was built. Now, our disagreements are dividing this country. People talk about going back to the principles that this country was founded on. We can't. No one understands how to respectfully disagree, and move past the disagreement (without attacking the person) to solve the problem. <br /><br />IMHO.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.com
