Thanx for posting the Dalai Lama’s wisdom Michael. I’ve done my best to follow those guidelines, including number 20, which he more than likely did not say, all my life.
The republicans (RUBs – or is that rubes) demanded the “up/down vote” when they were in the majority. Now that they are in the minority, what is good for the goose is NOT good for the gander….
Much wisdom – thanks for the posting, Michael!
Next, I think we need a well thought out diatribe against the Republican Senators who are loading up the minimum wage bill with corporate welfare and much other crap. I agree with Ted Kennedy who said on the floor of the Senate “When will the greed stop?” Corporate welfare is such an insult to people who work a job – often more than one job – and at the end of the day, still can’t make ends meet. And by the way, what happened to Republican demands for an “up or down vote” without crippling amendments??? Huh?? Huh?? Creeps!!
