Last night I went to a friend’s web site and saw something I disagreed with, so I sent him a quick comment within an email and it was not rude but I will say it was maybe a bit arrogant on my part.
This morning while reading my blog comments I find another friend who took the time to read something I posted and sent me a rather polite response with a link to rebut. The link did not copy and paste well due to a technicality of my blog's layout, so I have yet to post his link. I will.
The whole circle back and forth of course had some political overtones.
Lessons Learned:
1. America is strong because we disagree with vigor amongst ourselves, and we find it normal and appropriate. Which I think it is.
2. None of us think we are wrong. Because dam it we’re not!
I am not sure this post has taught anyone anything, but if it has, then something was finally agreed upon today.

Conclusion: Freedom of speech and democracy rule! That's my pearl of wisdom for the day - surely no one has thought of it! :) sis kt
Bill - Amps vs Volts...I think you got lucky dude! Take care.
I wave the peace flag and say let everyone express their opinion but it is in the HOW we express that opinion. And then how graciously can we be wrong or admit change or a perhaps there is a new perspective here.
I agree with Kelly. Take care. Lighten up. Chill. and always dance
Love from your Mom who saw Ike Eisenhower on the back of a train in 1952 ruunning for President. whoa
Bill, your mom is a wise woman. There are two secrets to life that I learned in my meager 31 year existence..
1. If you are not having fun, you are doing it wrong.
2. Dance often, and dance like no one is watching.
Constructive conflict is healthy and necessary for all relationships and businesses.
Take care out there...
