Love the way you used 'Magna Carta!' Good luck in the contest now. Here's to neighborliness and selflessness! ~ gw

Amen and hear, hear. So many of the world's problems would be solved if we all adhered to the Shema Yisrael, the 10 commandments, and the Golden Rule. Blessings, friend.

I love the golden rule . The only problem is in enforcing it. Splendid idea for doing the theme, John . I left a note at the poem on the stubborn man for ya . I am sure you know who it is I am discussing there. Also, yes, Joe framed our house and had other stuff done for us. We got a lot of sweat equity that way and it's unbelievable how the cost of everything rose after it was built in 1990.

I agree, no way to enforce love, is there? Even if we could it would deny us of the pleasure of being loved from free will.

The golden rule, so wise and true! The world would certainly be a better place if we gave each other consideration and respect - hoping for a win for you!

Thank you, Michelle for wisdom and wishes. I don't think I would enjoy ruling the world though!
