People of all faiths are seeking help from their communities to lead in this dangerous moment and to begin to help heal what is becoming an increasingly alarming and frightening situation. I disagree on most policy issues of the Trump administration but I take this opportunity to expressed my real discouragement over how many Americans now get their news and information from only highly ideological and partisan media sources. Sources with whom they already agree, and who daily fuel the most passionate emotions of their loyal followers -- on both sides of the political aisle.
From a very old quote:
I have no respect for justice - I maim without killing - I break hearts and I ruin lives - I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age - The more I am quoted the more I am believed - I flourish at every level of society. My victims are helpless - They cannot protect themselves against me - I have no face and to track me down is very difficult- The harder you try the more elusive I become - I am nobody's friend - Once I tarnish a reputation it is never quite the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages - I ruin careers, cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion - I spawn suspicion and generate grief - I make innocent people cry in their pillows - I make headlines and headaches - Even my name hisses. I am "Vicious Gossip." Before you repeat a story, ask yourself is it really necessary and true? Will I really enhance myself by bringing someone else down? Vicious Gossip will do it.
Some of the most powerful tools for marketing a dance organization's services and products has been through their newsletters, newspapers, magazines, radio and TV advertising. All strictly one way communication. Then came the Web sites with some feedback and less cost. Then the real thing arrived, our Blog sites with no cost to dance groups. The additional benefits are many, they get feedback and are current. They keep the organization's Name out in front of potential and current members, the media and Ballroom Dance Professionals.

dreams beneath the jungle sky." ~ African Saying
