Heed the Cry for Respect
Every person you meet deeply desires to be treated with respect. If you listen carefully, you will hear them cry: "Please consider me an important person. Don't embarrass or insult me. Please listen to me when I speak."
If you learn to treat every person you meet with respect, you will have many friends throughout your life. Upon meeting another person, ask yourself, "What can I say to this person to show him respect?Love Yehuda Lave
It appears however that politicians are an exception to the above rule. Dems aren't much worse than the Reps, They're all a bunch of crooks.
