Dear Cain and Able,
In this short life of ours, its a well known fact that we are going to meet different people, with different experiences, different upbringings, and vastly dissimilar environments. With this in mind, we cannot expect others to share the same thoughts---especially for those of us who know better.
Lets exchange opinions in the spirit that we both know we are not going to change each others mind. Its really next to impossible. Our opinions are shared only to show parts of our personality. After 30 years of building the sculpture, that is our mind, 5 minutes of conversation isnt going to do anything but loosen up some dust on that rock we call a brain. But it is stimulating never-the-less.
So the name of the game is this: when it comes to politics, religion, or jolly rancher flavors, we must come into the game knowing we already lost. Civility is everything, win or lose.
A Happy Public announcement made by the TWJS Broadcasting Corporation.
And now for the riddle of the day:

Now what's my prize??? LOL
Terry, Terry, Terry, thanks for refocusing my ill-directed name calling and put downs. They really don't belong on your wonderful blog. They do, however, belong somewhere, I just haven't found the appropriate venue.

Dear A,
I should apologize to you. I am sorry for putting down your intellect. I really wasn't trying to convince anyone to vote my way, I simply wanted to debate an opposing view. I am sorry it got so sidetracked.
Terry, I agree with A (does this shock you?:) ). I am grateful to have a friend who is a peacemaker and who can refocus negative energy properly....I raise my glass to you.

Well, fooey! Here I finally got back and replied to the comments on the last post, and now everyone’s gone all soft on me. ;-) LOL.
Terry’s take on civility is true, of course. If we enter a debate with an open mind and a civil tongue, we can all benefit. But I can think of few places better than here for us to engage in intelligent, spirited debate, so I hope our host will continue to fire our hearts and minds with controversial topics.
A., your views on Obama prompted me to take another, deeper look into his “Blueprint for Change.” There were things I agreed with that didn’t surprise me (I generally agree with the Dem’s view on the environment, abortion, etc.), but also things that I was pleasantly surprised to find. For example, his call for “universal voluntary public service.” What a fresh and fabulous thing to bring to the forefront! I agree that if we really want to make a difference in this country, we all have to get involved! All the Monday Morning Quarterbacking in the world will get us nowhere. But action – even small actions – can bring about REAL change.
Now, Jolly Ranchers? Cherry, baby. All the way. ;-)
AHHH P'fyre, I am beginning to fall in love with you ! What a wonderful sister soulmate you are ! I had to laugh at the idea that you missed our very heated discussion. I could have used you earlier in the game, my dear. MY, MY, you are a force to be reckoned with....

If memory serves correct (forgive me if I am off by a couple of days) but your birthday is coming up this month. Isn't it on the 25th???? Well, irregardless, Happy Birthday Terry. I know it is early, but I will not be on much this month. Take care and do something humble for your birthday.
