you nailed it, Gershon. Seems as if our leaders don't know how to seek another's favor....screaming and shouting does nothing positive (in my opinion). Nicely penned, yellow rose

A beautiful reflection on the power of words. Wouldn’t the world be better if more leaders embraced the humility of 'por favor'? Sharp, elegant, and true. The way you contrast courtesy with power struggles is masterful!

it would seem that the gov't is run by those who give favors, accept favors, and vote based on those they favor based on the favors received...and now due
