All kudos to you - it is easy to look the other way, when it is not you who is been bullied...

I just wish you had been on my school, then I might not had been bullied so much as I was... I still have nightmares about it, and it is many years since I got out of grade school... And even then, i was not bullied by slapping and beating, rather other vice, they did know early on, how to "push" the buttons - and get a reaction on it... And I guess it was very funny to se me angry as hell, trying to defend me from things that is not possible to defend against... I guess I was a very lonely kid for many years... Oh well, that is in the past, isn't it?

And it is great that you have raised tree kids, to defend others who are in need - or not able to defend for them self. Not everyone have been blessed with a ability to fight when needed... You sound like a person who know right from wrong - and also to learn it to the next generation....

Bullies sounds alike, even when they try to act different - and mr Romney absolutely sounds like a bully, and if half what is known is true - then you better watch out if he ever goes all the way to the white house.. He would not be any better there, than he have been elsewhere...
