I guess my thoughts right now are surrounding those who say it's ok to bully and belittle those they perceive weaker than themselves... they say dumb things like well they need to toughen up... and they almost make out that the bullies are doing people a favour... I'd so love to slap some of those bullies right now and maybe slap those who have this horrible thinking too for good measure.Daughter went back and was able to enjoy the rest of the day... and she should be proud of that but from where I sit I truly cannot see one single positive about bullying.. if you ask me all it's done is hurt her and cause her a lot of misery and, it seems potentially long term effects. less

Republicans can't come up with a better replacement because it was THEIR IDEA to begin with. Instead of making it better they vilify it because Obama adopted it. Whom does that serve exactly? Why not BRAG about it rather than try to destroy it? I don't get it. Do you?

Did you ever scare yourself because you got so angry/enraged/furious? How did it feel and did it ever happen again?
