And don't forget please and thank you ...
Wow.
The trouble I've always had with President Bush is that he says pretty things but his subsequent behavior makes it very clear that he doesn't mean any of them.
The problem I've had with the voting public in recent years is that so many people don't seem to care what President Bush actually does, so long as he keeps saying those pretty words that make them feel good (or whatever it does for them).
But I also believe it's a bad thing for the country when a real sense of civic pride and community is replaced by the self-centeredness and the corrosively cynical partisanship we've all witnessed over the past five years.
I vote for a return of civil society. How about you?
