I'm no rule freak. I'm never quite sure where the knife goes on a formal table setting and I don't recall the proper order to introduce people (older first? female first?). I wear white past Labor Day. I don't always look great when I go to the grocery store. But, I do know you don't call the President a liar during his speech to Congress no matter how much "passion" you feel, you don't swear at line judges no matter how "right" you are, and you don't interrupt an award winner's acceptance speech no matter how good the opponent's performance was.
Here's what I think: When people in the spotlight can't follow simple rules of decency in their public interactions with others, we should stop rewarding them. It's no use yelling at Kanye for his rude behavior at the MTV awards, just don't buy his music or attend his concerts until he gets the message. Ditto Serena Williams and Joe Wilson. Like it or not, celebrities are role models and others will follow their lead unless its obvious they are walking into oblivion.
Amen!!!

I took 1 st mortgage loans when I was 20 and it helped my family a lot. Nevertheless, I require the small business loan again.
