I've always stuck to real estate, for the most part, when writing blog postings. After thinking about it, I think it applies, so here goes;
Isn't it true when someone says something derogatory about someone else that you tend to dismiss some of the other things they've said? Especially if this person is repeating nasty rumors, their integrity is in question with you. So, even if they've said intelligent, thought provoking things in the past, you may discount them becasue of the source. Grandma always said to Say something nice, or don't say anything at all. I think she was a pretty smart woman. One who credited her fellow human beings for having a mind of their own. Something to keep in mind during our daily communications, not to mention, the very heated political climate we find ourselves in.
I'd like to think that we choose who and what to support based on a very deep committment to our beliefs - not a hatred and mistrust of the oposition.
