No one with a college degree should engage in illiteracy. No one who is proud of their heritage should disgrace their family. Good manners and etiquette are not dirty words. There is no custom that is disgusting -- just different. </DIV>
<DIV>These rules are not laws they are good tools to guide oneself. Nothing is wrong with ignorance unless it is intentional. Bad manners are not bad unless done by one who knows better. A mark of intelligence is being sharp witted without offending.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These concepts are as clear as exclusionary practices and prejudice. There is much wrong with the person in a superior position not being open and transparent and honest. That is not merely bad manners, that is morally wrong and intellectually corrupt.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Sat, 8/22/09, Jeffrey A. Williams <I><jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com></I></B> wrote:<BR></DIV>

<DIV>Eric and all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> FWIW, for far too many years, nearly 4 decades now the American people have been</DIV>
<DIV>far too apathetic and talking too little, and when talking saying only slightly more, and</DIV>
<DIV>getting better addressed when talking far more largely in part as a result of the Internet,</DIV>
<DIV>especially in the past 5 or 6 years. Silence may be golden, but it is also empty and far</DIV>
<DIV>too often when self imposed or imposed by others for various reasons/excuses, leaves</DIV>
<DIV>progress to flounder and often die a slow death. Such is not a governance healthy</DIV>
<DIV>thing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I say speak loudly, boldly and often if your a mind to, and let no man/woman dissuade</DIV>
<DIV>you of otherwise lest your voice never be heard, you participation be neglagable, and</DIV>
<DIV>your future, and perhaps the future of your fellow man be stagnant. Let not the Miltons</DIV>
<DIV>of the world dictate your voice, your message, your ideas, your manner for they are the</DIV>
<DIV>pervayers of stagnation, hate, and negativity. Such has no good place in the fellowship</DIV>
<DIV>of man and mankind in this century.<BR><BR><BR></DIV>
