(1) I don't think it's right to take pot-shots at a man who, for all intents and purposes, can not defend himself.
(2) I don't think it's right to shout out all the troubles with a system, but to offer nothing constructive as to fix it.
(3) I don't think it's right the way sex is thrown around in the media and society in general.
(4) It bothers me how senslessly sexual some people can be.
(5) It's discouraging to imagine that my values hold little esteem not just in The World, but often even among those I care for.
(6) It's disheartening to think that, sometimes, people just don't want to hear what you have to say, for good or for ill.

I had more to say, I thought....

(1) Can I assume you mean Bush?
(4) Can I assume you mean me?
(5) Can I just say that they do hold some esteem with me? You know they do...I've told you I don't know how many times I admire you for your values - and echo some of them!

5) andrew, your values are a huge part of why i look up to you as a person (not just in height difference) i know this doesn't mean much, but they way you hold true to everything you say and believe is just amazing and extremely inspiring and encouraging.
6) i have never heard one single thing out of your mouth that i am not completely interested in hearing. i could sit for a whole day jsut listening to you talk. when you came to visit and were talking to katie about religion and whatnot, that was one of my most enjoyed times i've ever had. everyhting you say is intelligent, backed, fair, and just outright true. its because of all ive heard you tell me and even what you've told rachel and katie that i have such a wonderful role model in you. so, in short, please...please keep on talking, its something for me to look forward to every day.

Just my two cents...

::curls up with him::

My life is much better for having met you. Your existence reassures me when I am feeling terribly down on myself because you are a symbol for goodness. Oh, I don't meant to say you are a perfect being, or that I have you on some sort of pedestal, but you are such an inherently good person that I cannot help but to be reassured by you.

(4) I must plead guilty to this accusation, and I hope that I have not offended.

(5)See opening paragraph. Your values (a vage concept for me, as we have never discussed them) still manage to come through in our conversations and I find them extremely laudable. I know I do not count amongst those who have hurt you, but still I try to comfort.

(6)I want to hear what you have to say. Again, I don't think I am the party in question, but you can always drop me a line. Indeed, I am quite looking forward to the prophesied night of jesus christ superstar and morning of freshly baked cinnamon rolls.

[5] hey. your values, as well as your point of view and standpoint, are always heard, taken into account, etc - at least, they are with me. and i know we don't always [hahaha!] see eye to eye, but i find my viewpoint a much better one for having been challenged by you. so don't think you don't make a difference... or no cuddle for you. ;)

[6] i know exactly what you mean. which is why, on most situations, i don't bother talking about things. heavy subjects, light ones... i let them go if i know i can't really be listened to or taken into consideration. i notice, especially, that a lot of people in today's world ask questions for which they have no care for the answer. in my family, that really REALLY strikes a nerve. mom and i both HATE that & at the same time, get it a lot. i think it's sad, since every good life in this world deserves a voice and deserves to be heard -- especially by those they care about or who supposedly care about them.

xoxo.

Thought I'd say something

(1) I make no excuses for what I say. Though I should more then likely be less judgemental.

(2)I tried to think of a good fix, but as with most things I think of, it was broken as well. Other then doing what I can, I can do no less. Though this whole thing did teach me something. Next election I'm voting come hell or high water.

(3)I have to agree with you, but I also have to say that it's not fair how prudish society is as well. When you are a good person who's never done anything sexually wrong and you're called a slut because you wear a corset with bell black pants because it looks cute. Or you realize how someone's sexuality and personality are judged based on what they wear, you realize just how prudish the world really is.

(4)The thing of it is it's their personality. When you care about someone you kinda gotta take the good with the bad, or in this case what you like with what you don't (Yes dear, I know you know that and I probobly shouldn't have said anything)

(5)Your values are who you are darlin', and we love you for them. We may not be able to fathum them sometimes but honestly, you're amazing to be able to have such strong convictions and values in an age like this. I'm sure you'd be suprised at how many people really do esteem your values.

(6)Just thought I'd add that I'll listen to anything you have to tell me, good or ill, to or against what I think.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents -=Hugs=-
