In reply to the discussion: Hey, Joe, can I have a hug? [View all]LakeArenal
(29,949 posts)22. Nice post. Thanks.
I feel the same.
Plus, I think to not expect hugs at a public event of celebration, or support, or remembrance, or all three, is unusual.
Its sad to think teachers cant hug kids anymore or ruffle their hair or pat their back.
Joe had a bunch of criticism for saying social norms have changed. But its true they have. Its sad to me.
I think now how Princess Di used to physically touch people. Everyone thought it was beautiful then.
Times have indeed changed.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

He might be sincere. Or he might continue making jokes about asking permission. Time will tell.

I like the point Barbara Boxer made. . . do we want all men to be like Mike Pence?
