Dr. Martin Luther King represents Peace and Freedom.
When honorable people take action and work together as civilized
citizens, good things happen. It is important to know how to
show respect to self and each other and to expect the same in return.
We should all celebrate. We, as a civilized
nation, have come a long way. Without changing
our system and respect for the rule of law which
is designed to protect the honorable, civilized,
law abiding citizen, we have changed the unjust laws
of the past. Dr. King's life was taken from him yet
his legacy continues on.
Because of Dr. King and his Dream, we have now
elected our first man of color to the Presidency of the
United States of America under the exact same rules
used to elect all previous white presidents. All
people are equal when they embrace our common
bond of being honorable, hard working, civilized,
law abiding citizens.
Dreams are nothing without action. Each of us
is an integral part of civilized society.
Skin color, religion, political party and the amount
of money one has or does not have, should have no
bearing on our character, self esteem, and trustworthiness.
We each give ourselves permission on how we will behave...
for good or for bad. It is called personal responsibility.
You can blame your actions on someone else, but that is not
the case. You make the final decision to take the actions
that you do. You do have power.
It is easy to hold yourself to a higher standard when
you know how and why. Good Manners are powerful!

Arizona Congresswoman and Staff Members Shot on 1/8/11
On Saturday, January 8, 2011,
US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and some of
her staff were shot while on duty at a public mall.
Some private citizens were shot as well. At least 10
people have been injured or killed. A 22 year old male
gunman was captured at the scene and remains in jail.
Our prayers are with those who have been injured or killed.
As civilized people, there can be no greater horror than
to be unsafe in our own country. There is never, ever,
a good enough reason to harm another person, verbally
or physically, just because you do not like someone’s
looks, policies, or whatever.
We enjoy the freedom to walk about freely in society; to
meet as large groups in public places; we
enjoy the freedom to feel safe in our own homes;
we enjoy freedom to eat out at safe restaurants and to
purchase safe food and safe drink at local stores and clubs.
We enjoy purchasing safe products that work as advertised.
We enjoy these freedoms because we can trust each
other. We enjoy these freedoms because the majority
of our people are honorable, hard working, civilized law
abiding citizens. These are the core values of our
society and the values that will keep us free.
How do we protect ourselves against terrorists and
crazy loons? The answer is to willingly hold ourselves
to a higher standard by adhering to our core values.
Honorable, hard working, civilized, law abiding people do not
lie, cheat or steal even when the opportunity
presents itself. We do not harm others unless in self-
defense. We are the eyes, ears, and brains of
American civilized society. We elect our government
officials from among ourselves. Each of us is expected to
be a standard bearer for our country and stand united
in the principles of respect, freedom and safety for all.
Each of us is expected to be vigilant and be aware when
something or someone is not right. We must be eye witnesses
and speak up before tragedy happens.
We are always there even when the government is
not. This tragic event could have been even more
horrendous if it were not for the brave, honorable,
civilized law abiding citizens who took charge during
this event and held the shooter to the ground until
the Police could get there. We The People are
who will keep our country the leader of the free
world.
Where ever you go, you should always find at
least one honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen
(you). We must willingly abide by our core
values and we must teach them to our children
so they too can stand united with us for the
freedom of all.

Peaceful transfer of Power takes place today in US House of Representatives
Today we can all be proud Americans. Today power was peacefully
and willingly transferred from Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi
to Republican John Boehner.
Our country is alive and functioning.
Our constitution still works. Our core values are still in tact.
Civilized people can work together.
People do not have to “ like” each other to behave as
honorable, civilized, law abiding people.
We all must work together for the good of all and we
must be respectful to each other when we do.
United We Stand - Divided We Fall
The American People have spoken. We elect our officials from
among ourselves. We cannot expect more of them than we expect
of ourselves.
Respect and Manners are the core values of honorable, civilized,
hard working, law abiding citizens. These are the values that
will help America
(civilized) World. Honorable people will not lie, cheat, or
steal even when the opportunity presents itself. We can depend
on each other.
We all have a civic duty to behave as honorable, civilized people.
It is a way to give something back to our country.
We cannot do this if we do not know how. I highly recommend
reading “A Year of Good Manners” by Margery Sinclair and Jan Polk.
$27.95. This 180 page book takes 3 hours to read but you will
use it for a lifetime. Purchase on line at www.janpolk.com
