What Happened to the Kinder, Gentler Nation?

Are you at your wit's end with everyone's attitude? I know I am.
People are very rude to each other and have forgotten three little words:
please, thank you.

I think part of the reason is that there is so much corruption out there and the country
is tired of it and frustrated too. The trial of the week is underway with Ken Lay. Pretty soon we will see Tom DeLay drag out his stories. And then Jack Abramoff will spill his guts and rat on all his people.

People in Washington are just on edge and nervous. There are too many secrets and too much bullying.That has the trickle-down effect across the country. Is intergrity back at the White House? Will the State of the Union be a boring speech or will it be filled with promise and hope. Not just for the very rich, but maybe for the little guy too.

Let's see if we can be happy again as a country.
