Greed is not one of them. (Greed was one of the things which brought down the Roman Empire.) They are far more valuable than achieving obscene wealth. I think your email signature says it all: “Measure your wealth not by what you have but by what you would not take money for.”<br /><brB.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-43597865997027455132011-08-08T17:04:07.552-04:002011-08-08T17:04:07.552-04:00Tiny agrees with Judge Sarokin and hopes the polit...Tiny agrees with Judge Sarokin and hopes the politicians get a good dose of what he's telling the world. Very few in this country wants to see anymore war. We are war weary. It's the Tea Party and their supporters who spout getting yourself armed, reloading, putting up the crosshairs etc. <br /><br />Most of us do not want that either. Peace within ourselves and the world is what the Tihy dreams of peace...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173973315363181140.post-22584887714843780352011-08-08T10:27:19.868-04:002011-08-08T10:27:19.868-04:00Cooperation and level-headedness are certainly nee...Cooperation and level-headedness are certainly needed in these difficult times. Whether our leaders (and fellow citizens) will display these virtues in the times to come remains to be seen.<br /><br />"We are, hopefully, too civilized to engage in a second civil war."<br /><br />A literal, armed civil war is unlikely, but an IDEOLOGICAL civil war has been taking place for years.

I pictured Judge Sorokin as a kid playing on that sandlot and learning the same values I did as a kid. DemWit readers would do well to listen to his wise words. Thanks for the link.

I don't know what to say about the far left. There's no way one can reason with them anymore than one can reason with a tea bagger. The sad thing is that neither side gets it.<br /><br />Leslie Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743778482517634823noreply@blogger.com
