Perhaps that attitude is part of the cultural differences among countries

I really don't know why it took me so long to blog this. It's become one of my favorite quotes since the time I read it. Yeah, it's hard to shoe-horn in there but more and more there's a call for it as rampant ethnocentrism and other government-fostered hates take on fresh life. Don't let them !! You have choices !! Be kind. I
hope that lots of you reading this will see yourself in Haakensmoen, and I wonder; why don't these stories make it more often? I think I know why. They really want us to believe we need to hate each other harder. That works for them so corporations can rule the world. It's WE THE PEOPLE NOT WE THE CORPORATIONS

I cried the first time I read this story and I clipped away the above and below quote which you will soon read because I thought it was so beautiful. Especially from a sportswriter ---

I wrote Mr. Romano shortly after the story was published because I couldn't find it AND because I wanted that quote; I had lost it. He did never reply but that's okay as I finally found where I had saved the quote.

Kindness is POWER and don't you ever forget it. When you can react kindly to people no matter what --- that's real strength. It's EASY to do otherwise. It's easy to access your lizard brain and reach for your first impulsive reaction. But, why?

Never mistake kindness for weakness.

I guess because I have always been so kind people tend to think of me as a pushover. Please refer to the preceding and following sentence:

Never mistake kindness for weakness.


And here's something else from American Wisdom: Looks like he's made his own youtube to go along with his song. I'm entranced. It's an awesome song (composer, producer, writer, artist, publicist)
Anyway, here's the youtube. You'll like it. I heard he has an album coming out.





This is kinda interesting between Rosie and Elizabeth. I never watch the view but now I like Rosie a little better. Peoples' voices are very important to me and I don't like Elizabeth's voice. EEEEK. How did she ever make it in media with that voice? And Okay??? every minute or so?? hmmmm. Anyway, I think the bit that accompanies it is a stitch. LOL
