The Fine Art of Respect

We live in a culture, sadly, that has lost its ability to respect one another.

Al Sharpton makes a rather crass comment about Mitt Romney's religious belief as a Mormon. This appears to be the same Al Sharpton who was offended by Don Imus who made a crass comment about the Rutger's Women's Basketball team. Imus was removed from the radio for his crassness. Rush Limbaugh finds himself amused playing a song entitled, "Barack the Magic Negro," (to the tune of Puff, the Magic Dragon...). I do find something interesting about Rush. Just when I think that he's got the bottom of the barrel scraped clean he finds a new bottom.

Talk radio, TV, politicians, even church people have grown increasingly disrespectful of one another. I do hope that we are able to reverse this trend and learn to treat one another with dignity as opposed to the way we so often do now.
