When did someone decide to hide these two very important characteristics? If someone wants to doubt my opinion just go to any major highway and watch the way people drive. Consideration, manners, social integrity, call it what you wish but the gentleman that works at the local gas pump said "they come in here in their Sunday best and jump in front of each other, yell at each other now that's what I call hypocrite!" Wow, what a statement...consideration is not dead. Look around and see if there is someone in the world you can lend a hand to.
Audrey Hepburn said it beautifully: If you need a helping hand look down and realize there are two hands to help yourself and two hands to help others too.

Ethics and Integrity hit the charts
Amazing how we have forgotten the basics of living. Manners, ethics, integrity are the most critical human traits and in this economy it needs to come back into focus.
Listening to King Corn again last night and hearing life expectancies are going down again because of corn...that simple yellow kernel that grows in the Midwest, in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado...farms are getting better and growing more corn. Cows are being fed corn, corn by-products and fast foods including meats are full of corn.
Sweet corn is wonderful but it is not the corn of the midwest...amazing how cattle grazing is no longer done in the big feed lots across the country.

Busy Summer for writer
Who and where did manners run off too? If anyone sees manners please capture them and bring them back. Ethics too...consideration is becoming a thing of the past.
A friend from high school called this morning. We spoke of Congress and the lack of leadership. She said “they remind me of roaches. They are not doing anything until you turn the light on and they run around everywhere like they are busy.”
Not sure I would want to be compared to one of the lowest creatures on the planet but God put them here for some reason...kinda like weeds...just a plant we've yet to find a purpose for...
