I am an author. I am retired after working for 24 years in Human Services. Prior to that, I was a day care mom. I have many hobbies, including writing poetry, reading, sewing, crafting, jewelry making and embroidery. I also enjoy pets, both cats and dogs. I walk and I do water exercises. I am the proud mom of two sons and grandmother of three boys with a granddaughter on the way! (Yeah! I get to buy pink!!!) I am also an avid genealogy researcher. Most of all, I love to travel.

Carol, it strikes me that these rules can apply to all emotionally charged topics. Keeping calm in a discussion like this can make all the difference in the world. This seems to be an area where facts are far better material than opinons.
