Tonight as I was doing the dishes - well I am a housewife - my 12 year old
granddaugher 'paused' the Harry Potter movie she was watching and for
no apparent reason said to me:
'Grandma - people of different political parties should learn that they
can like each other and get along even if they have different ideas.'
After I recovered from the shock of these words my first thought was:
thank you jesus
because haven't I been saying that for the past year on my blog?
and if a 12 year old girl and get the concept of 'Civility' then there
just might be hope for our Country.

Civility works with the civil. But for the uncivil, I counsel a different treat.
You should read Freud's "Civilization and its' Discontents". The discontents don't usually subscribe to the concept of "civility".
Do you think its alright?
-FJ - It's going to have to be alright.
Because Civility is all we have left now.
Even the uncivil have to be made to see that.
That's why we have the USMC.
I have trouble thinking about Marines with out seeing the picture of the aftermath of Beirut.
