These days they have to look no further than the occupants of the White House and DOJ. Sad, very sad.

I learned them in school. I'll never forget my 4th grade teacher trying to teach us the right thing and saying:

How would you like it if someone called you Moderator cut: language, Moderator cut: language, Moderator cut: language, or Moderator cut: language?

He said that...it's a direct quote- no lie. Of course things were a little bit different back in 1978.....

school, family, friends, tv, movies, media, internet....you're going to learn it everywhere unless you are locked in a crate!
