    By the way, her memory appeared to be perfectly clear as she recounted how she single handedly guided Seal Team 6 in for their Osama mission - LOTS of detail!
    seal team 6? I thought it was Brian Williams, single handedly?

      Pfffft. Both of you are wrong. It was Obama hisself who jumped out of the helicopter with a knife clenched in his teeth while those wimpy SEALs were still preparing to rappel down those ropes. Obama led the charge after ripping off his shirt and manually inserted the bullets into Osama 'cuz he don't need no stinkin' gun.

          I think that asking people to only speak when necessary can itself be harmful. Extroverts need to socialize.

          Personally, I don't talk much, because I'm an introvert. I nearly always try to be polite. Still, I'm certainly not beyond using a "microagression" if I feel it's appropriate.

            I think it's FAR more valuable to teach people that life is tough, things don't always go like we plan, there are bad people who will say ugly things, and we need to be equipped to handle that.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      We all need a jolt now and then to bring us back down to reality. Glad I could be of service.
