If you would not mind some constructive criticism, although I am not a fan of the Republicans or Fox news, I do not feel they are the only misinformers or bullies in America, they do take a difference stance to the Democrats and the other news services, but the lies come from both sides pretty much equally. I would like to give you a couple of links for you to have a look at about the uprisings in the middle east. I hope this does not set off you spam meter and make it so you do not see this. http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-mainmenu-26/africa-mainmenu-27/6915-libyan-rebels-create-central-bank-oil-company This one is from RT, I realize the propaganda machine is also in play here, just from the other side, but still the facts are sound. http://rt.com/news/us-lies-libya-laden-crane/ Also I would recommend watching the Money Masters and reading “Confessions of an Economic Hit man” Hi there, I liked most of the post very much, it is true bullying does continue into adulthood, and what lessens are we really teaching by rewarding the bullies as we do.

Can I tell you as a little girl how many boy bullies I beat up every school year? They annoyed me at how they picked on kids who were not mentally tough or physically able to defend themselves like kids with severe heart problems or the mentally challenged. It got so the teachers would disappear during recess when they saw me on the move to deal with them - and not before they wiped a smile off their face as they walked away. The epidemic of bullying is amazing in our current culture since the rise of excessively conservative politics. Here in my south Louisiana even declaring for the Democrats during the Bush years, writing letters to the editor, was an act of courage. Phoned death threats and hate mail always ensue as to get your letter published you were required to give your home address. Yeah, what a conspiracy of dirty politics down here - but I'm still here and opposing them. :) The tough thing is if we all don't stand up to bullies and get serious about prosecuting this nasty behavior it will only get worse. It seems America has always had a bent for violent behavior. At some point we must enforce laws and social codes to rein in the worst of it, especially by Big Business. It does not help if people are anti-violence or anti-war yet are willing to be bullied into submission by the violent people. We must fight for what is right and sometimes it is a long hard fight. Excellent post and I sure enjoyed reading your thoughts! Thank you for addressing in such detail a systemic problem in America. Now send this post to every politician in Congress, the President, every world leader and school administrator. It's time for a movement to rise up to effectively deal with this insanity bullying like the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) did to get drunk drivers off the road. Awesome post!
