A voice longing to be heard …….. Then a venue surfaces to express that voice ……… And thus, a dialog begins ……….. Disappointment among anothers’ view evolves into frustration; The dialog digresses into a derogatory form of communication; That frustration spirals into outrage; The outrage becomes anger; The anger becomes personal; Personalities clash and the pursuit begins. Is this really about Obama/Biden verses McCain/Palin ………… or is that just the catalyst ………… isn’t it really about one’s passion and vision for what they believe in. No two individuals are of the same foundation ………. our differences are what make us profound beings …….. that we each offer different perspectives. If one has an abundance and another does not …….. doesn’t sharing come to mind? Dialog is the sharing of one’s view with another. Dialog is not the instrument for change but merely the path that makes it possible to have a wider perspective. I believe a wide and far ranging perspective, is the best seat in any theater ………..

Ilise Lipton ……… STELLAR! INSPIRING! “GO-JENNY-GO”!

Kip …. I do hope that you recognize that I am no fan of Fox News or any other media outlet. I have always found the media to follow the “whatever is popular” path. I meant no disrespect to you when I replied to your post. Only time will tell what history will make of Gov. Palin, just as it has been so for all other politicians in the past. And that time, in and of itself, is subjective to the views of those who observe.

Kip ……. not to be too engaging on my part but ……. did you happen to watch Part 1 of her interview on Fox with Hannity? Part 2 will air tomorrow evening at 8pm CST.

Hi Lorraine ……. here’s some of my sarcasm escaping …… so bare with me for a moment …….. “Those who thought that video games would never be a valuable tool for education were not paying close enough attention to the underlying functionalities behind those games ……… those games, through repetition, taught the theories of how computers, in general, can be manipulated”. ooooops …….

Here we go again ……… It was not that long ago that a burglary took place at the Watergate Hotel. It resulted in multiple indictments, jail time and included the resignation of a US President. The burglary of personal email content is JUST AS CRIMINAL as an office break-in was back then ……… This is beyond political affiliation; but certainly politically timed ………

The entire body of the Constitution as a whole ……. uninterrupted …………….

Hello Chris ……. Yes, her movie roll performances are stellar! And if my memory serves me correctly …… have you been following the Chicago Cubs?

Lauren Baccall …….. You transcend an undeniable sense of self. What a role model! Happy Birthday to you! Hi Josie! ….. I left you a note for you at “fearless”

aaaahhhhhhhh …………… I feel better now! Great HerTube production!

Sandbee 54 …………. so glad that your extended family is also safe and well! The generosity of others that have also lost so much is amazing and humbling. God bless them all!

Kitty ……. as always …….. I very much appreciate the quality of your writings! You offer well-founded explanations rather than excuses. You should have your own finance program on CNBC! You have my respect!

Sandbee 54 ……… I fear that there will many more tragic deaths to come from this storm, it’s been reported here that so far there have been 25 deaths. I trust that you are fairing well?
