[Granny Bear]

Know what I believe in? I believe in not pigeon holing people, especially when you know absolutely NOTHING about them. I believe in the rights of people to have their own opinion and be able to express them. I believe in having respect for others, especially those who differ from my perspective. I believe in not bathing the White House in ANY colors, but should you choose to do so, bathe it in ALL colors. I believe in hard work, honest efforts and community service.

If you don't believe exactly as I believe, I don't have a right to bait you or talk down to you or take something you've said and reword it. I don't have the right to rephrase anything that you have stated. I do have the right to debate and have a different opinion. I would PREFER an adult conversation.

I have said things on this forum that I probably should have said differently. I have found myself on the defensive many times, when I said nothing offensively but have had my words completely changed and fed back to me.

I hope to learn, grow and become a stronger person.
