Jan, a poem like this is valid all the time, people who listen to bad mouthing people are making a big mistake ~

I actually heard someone say once, "I not only believe everything I hear, I repeat it." I can't remember who said it but I've never forgotten hearing that ignorant remark. This is right on, Jan. Education hasn't caught up with the internet and a recent study revealed that the majority of high school seniors can't tell the difference between factual news vs. editorialized. FaceBook tells me many adults don't know either. You told 'em - and it needed telling for many reasons. Hugs ... CayCay

There are so many people I would like to have said that to, Jan. Are we still allowed to have rear window car stickers in this county? lol. // Barry
