[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]"...can't we all be kinder to each other?"

Agree completely. So many stingy, nasty, and just plain mean people in the world today. What ever happened to the Golden Rule?

My mother used to say, "Be kind to your enemies; it confuses the hell out of them." Not sure if it's a quote from someone else or she made it up, but I always liked it.

Better yet, sometimes kindness even changes nasty people for the better somewhere down the road. I've seen it happen, not all at once, but over time.

Hang in there.
