"It seems to me that whoever screams the loudest quiets everyone else."

Ladybug, you said "In this case the "Squeaky Wheel" thoroughly squelched the opportunity for a good, intelligent discussion and some healing among the people it "supposedly" offended." To that I say right on.

Sometime the person being quieted was the one who needed most to be heard. Ignorance often speaks very loudly.

There was nothing to worry about, so she danced by the fire. And as her clothes caught on fire and her hair burned, the house burst into flames. But she did not worry, for there was nothing to worry about.

Thanks Vi, for jumping in there, but I'm sorry, call me the village idiot, but I still do not understand who or what Ladybug is referring to.

Ladybug?

JawJaw, glad I kept the paper by me.

Go to www.cleveland.com/columns/plaindealer
next, go to the section called Metro for Sam Fulwood III. Check his article on the December 10th date called Free Speech.

I just happened to like her quote and the article is one of Mr. Fulwood's better ones.

I would, except you have to give info and I don't want to do that. I'll take your word for it.

Okay, let's get back to having some fun!

What about this one?


MUCH LEARNING DOES NOT TEACH UNDERSTANDING

I don't know, JJ. I'm not good with quotes but I saw one today and I thought I'd post it.

"The time to fix the roof is when the sun is still shining."

I hope I got it right.

another one I like is:

"Old age ain't for sissies."

John F. Kennedy and Bette Davis....

LOVE THOSE QUOTES!

And you know, I should pay attention to the time to fix the roof while the sun shining quote. I have a tendency to wait until something forces me to "fix the roof."

Hey that's good! You knew both of them. Me too, I'm a procrastinator.

So would you stay in your house if it was burning? Or would you keep your head in the sand if you were a suffocating ostrich?

Vi,
Are you asking anyone in particular these questions? And are they stemming from the article referenced by Ladybug? Or are you throwing them out there in hopes of "intelligent" discussions, as Ladybug said?

I'm not sure what you are asking here but the first question doesn't really need an answer, does it?

JJ
