...wise and thoughtful ladies.

I'd like to see more respect for socialists and communists. They ain't all bad. They have some good ideas. And good motives. Hey, everybody has some good in 'em. Even george bush. And capitalists. And republicans. And christians. And atheists. And bankers. And wall street brokers. Even that guy bernie madoff. And sarah palin. I write off nobody. If nothing else, we're all reclamation projects. Unfortunately, we tend to divide the world into good guys and bad guys. Into saints and sinners. Today, I'm thinking of everybody as inherently good. The comedian rodney dangerfield had a nice schtick. Said he never got respect. Well, I thought he was a good comedian. One of the best. That's respect, isn't it? Today, I'm giving everybody respect. Even fidel castro. And gorbachev. And genghis khan. And my new-found friend maebee...and her wise and thoughtful associates. --Jim Broede
