My mother kept it simple. She said that I could inflict as much pain on others as I could endure. In other words, if I cause pain to others she would administer pain to me :0) She could rip a limb off of a willow tree and not miss a step. :0) There is absolutely no reason to make oneself feel bigger or better by hurting others.

My parents told me that I was a reflection of "them" when ever I was out in the public! My 29 year old son is exceptionally polite.My 4th grade students get nagged year round about being polite and saying thank you and saying please!...the number one rule in my class is to keep your hands to your self, number two is " No rude behavior will be tolerated"..my classes are very well behaved!....I am an extremely angry person when I PERCEIVE to have been wronged....years ago I was forced into taking an anger management class....I learned many things in this class....and yes I am still working on my anger issues ( currently in a fight with my neighbor)...there are people in this sport and on this list that I do NOT care for...and I am very sure the knife cuts both ways...lol...dog shows can be stressful, expensive and yes CROOKED at times....but to behave poorly to some one who has not behaved in such a way towards you is inexcusable...looking back and my past show behavior I don't think I've ever done this, but If so, I'm sorry....I teach I'm sorry in class also...Ed Hill ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2008.
