I wonder if today's school children repeat that litlle ditty: "sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me". Sometimes it was the parents calling their children names or spouses calling each other names. Senator Obama thinks the majority of Americans are decent people. He would not speak about other people the way some of his bloggers do.
West Virginia would be a good example of that. Obama supporters became quite upset with the ugly words used to describe people from the state. They left comments on the offening posts or wrote a blog post about it. Words can hurt or "a word causing pain makes anger come up". Senator Obama asks me to believe in his abilty to bring about change in DC. Yet he does not seem to be doing a great job of leading his supporters to a higher standard of civility.
