Civility
Political speech seems to have degraded into a shouting, name calling match like a bunch of school kids. Just because we differ on political views does not necessarily mean that one person is right and the other one is wrong. A Democrat's idea might be just as good as a Republican's, though they may differ. This does not give the 2 sides the right to go calling each other's names, and stir up their followers into a frenzy. This sometimes convinces the followers that violence is the only way to get their point through. Back in the old times, Politicians respected their political rivals, and when they disagreed with them , they tried to hash our their differences, and when they couldn't, they just agreed to disagree, and let the matter rest. People of both parties should try to imitate their predecessors in that respect. The public is getting turned off by these antics. They elected their Senators and Congresspeople to do the work they're supposed to do, not bicker and act like babies.

My Funniest Real Live Christmas Story
Back in ‘85, my Mom won a trip to the Bahamas from her work. It was scheduled for the Christmas/New Year’s holiday. So, Mom and Dad got on the plane and headed to Miami to get to the cruise ship. During the flight, Dad found out he wasn’t much of a flyer, and freaked out. Well, they got to the ship and had a great time on the cruise, but when it was time to head back home, Dad wanted nothing to do with flying. So they decided to rent a car.However, since it was New year’s there were no cars in Miami to rent, all they could find was a U-haul truck. So they drove that all the way back to Virginia. Meanwhile, my Christmas that year was mostly a bust, because I had to stay at my Sister’s in West Va where we live now. It was totally boring, because a few days before Thanksgiving, Moorefield had flooded, wiping out most of the town, and there wasn’t much to do. Whenever I need a laugh, I think back to the whole thing.

Disrespect for our Fallen Soldiers and a Classy Woman
It is disgusting what Fred Phelps and his crew are doing! He is the so called pastor of a church in Kansas who goes around picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. These “Christians” say that its God’s revenge for the US accepting gays. And they are also planning on picketing Elizabeth Edward’s funeral. Damn, let the poor lady rest in peace, after what she went through! I’m a fan of freedom of speech, but have a little compassion!
