You've given me no reason to want to get to know you. How would that enrich my life? You present yourself as a screeching harpy. If I recall, several years ago, when you were having issues with your son, I offered some personal experience that I thought would be helpful. You responded with the same sort of "how dare you assume you know anything about me" nonsense. I can't tell you the number of times people have said to me, "Oh, but she's so nice in person." Who cares? Stop being an unpaid attack ad. Stop being so insulting. Stop making generalizations about me and my politics. Stop making provocative posts and frothing up whenever someone responds. Stop being a living example of the phrase "double-standard."

The Kerry issue has nothing for me to do with politics. He said something that has been taken out of context and misinterpreted. If the entire world got their panties in a bunch over GW's verbal gaffes I would be just as irritated. Instead, thoughtful people laugh at him, while his supporters interpret it as good ol' boy speak.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —President George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

Stop being so childish and start taking responsibility for the results of your behavior.
