You combined them perfectly! It is just too convenient to shove all that pain down and then wonder why people are using dope. If only America could have the conversation Tim Wise wants to have maybe we could move forward. I think the reason repugs/Teaparty folks are so upset is because PBO is their worse nightmare come true. He challenges every notion that he is not their equal. That he is smarter, more decent, more humane with more depth and substance is very difficult for them to accept.<br /><br />So we move forward! Some of them will come with us and some of them will not.<br />Smilingl8dyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-17315624997410052612012-07-04T22:32:35.055-05:002012-07-04T22:32:35.055-05:00And thank you so much for that!

It wasn't as wholesome as we were led to believe. Not that it was an early version of Married With Children but there were some sharp eyed comments that made you realize things were not as clean cut as shows like Father Knows Best portrayed. <br /><br />They're were some telling observations on bullying, low self esteem, alcoholism through a child's eyes, divorce through a child's eyes, parents a little too unrestrained in their verbal and physical abuse of their children (turns out Ward and June were the exceptions rather than the rule)and the crushing effects of peer pressure.woody45http://whatisidentitytheft.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-52421780028175318002012-07-04T10:45:47.570-05:002012-07-04T10:45:47.570-05:00Thanks Blackman.

We started with a statement of truly revolutionary ideals, giving ourselves a monumentally difficult goal. The image of what America should be is always beyond us, above us, glimmering in our vision like an ice-capped mountain peak, sun-bright even after all the landscape below it is shadowed. Every step in its direction is up a hard steep path.Manuel Royalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392229225958688128noreply@blogger.com
