What is your opinion of the young people in your life I wonder? Do you expect them to be dumb, stupid? Or do you give them a chance to live up to your high expectations? And what about the other adults around you? What would you want them to conclude from your words and actions? Would you want to be surrounded by others who behave, act and think like you do?

Are you walking the talk? Are you treating others as though they're smart? Are you being clever by taking soundbites out of context in a plain attempt to deceive?

This is the sword I spoke of. If this is what you reap, this is what you will sow. I've used the word "you" very freely here, and I promise you I consider these same questions regarding my own behavior.

I don't want mudslinging like this. I think it has NO positive effect on our political process, regardless of who's the target. I want a better process, I work toward a better process, and I urge those around me to believe in and strive for a better political process. This ad and countless others like it are the OPPOSITE of what I am working for.
