Someone was asked the meaning of life and he looked out the window and said : "There are a lot of a**holes out there." <BR/><BR/>I thought of that with your mention of the letters to the editors, Shauna. I know you're right but I am encouraged by some trends and of course there are a lot of good people here in the blogosphere. Maybe that's a sign of hope.Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284680909152676159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14761314.post-67150930127250133742008-02-22T20:07:00.000-06:002008-02-22T20:07:00.000-06:00I filled out the survey and thought most of the qu...I filled out the survey and thought most of the questions were important (some were too vague to really be discussable), but noticed that they assumed that it would be good if we lived sustainably, if everyone could get the health care they need, if people could afford their basic needs, and if different cultures and points of views were accepted. I agree that all of those would be good, but I doubt most people agree, based on the past several Republican presidential platforms, for example, and the stands that this year's candidates have on such issues. The letters to the editor and the opinion pieces in my local paper are often hate-filled or ignorant.Shauna Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871768714926149114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14761314.post-36490171522699464952008-02-22T19:58:00.000-06:002008-02-22T19:58:00.000-06:00A good point, Charles.
