Amazing How a Little Respect Gets Things Done (DE Coast Press)

…some of the individual situations, I begin to see a pattern. Many of these complainers seem to clash with everyone they hire. They’re distrustful and generally suspicious that everyone is out to get them. Imagine if you were a mechanic or the like and somebody treated you as guilty until proven innocent. Would you be motivated to do your best work? I think the key is to start with the assumption that this person — presumably a professional — is in… Continue reading

Good Parenting = A Healthy Outlook (DE Wave)

Would You Call the Police for Mean Things Said on Facebook?

…ents as taken out of context. Perhaps she did not mean to be mean, and was simply trying to point out what a tragic problem Down’s Symdrome is. But the quality of her comments is not the point here; freedom of speech is. For the sake of argument, I will assume her comments were deliberately hateful and hostile. They still should be legal.
