What separates our nation from the rest

Posted October 16, 2008 11:00 pm

I prefer listening to several hours of Rush Limbaugh than to watch the slanted news-spin on ABC, CBS or NBC each weekday. However, on Sunday evening on ABC at 7 p.m., the program entitled "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is an example of the true American spirit as communities join together to help a family in need of housing. Because of the children or one of the parents with physical disabilities or other calamity falling upon the family, the community rises up to meet that need. This type of action is what separates our great nation from the rest of the world. If you watch and shed tears when extremely overwhelmed with joy at another's happiness, you had

better have a box of Kleenex or a handkerchief at your side.
