Meet The Elders...........

[LightWorker]

Thanks for posting! What an inspirational group and an interesting project. Jimmy Carter has an admirable legacy that will far outlast any of us, and most presidents. He was the last statesman our country may ever know as president, a man after his time.

His legacy is his charity work that is housing thousands and saving tens of thousands of people from malaria!

Beaten w/ a pillow case full of doorknobs?!? Is that the step above "a sock full of quarters"?

Check your dosage!

Lightworker, before the thread gets way off track, I did want to thank you for posting that list of names;I learned something about some people I never heard of

Sorry, LW, didn't mean to get off track, just Jimmy Carter. ...the pillowcase and door knob thang was too much for me to let slide... Old people and presidents deserve more respect than that. Yes, thank you for the enlightening thread.

Thank You for seeing the bigger picture.

OMG, there is a unopened can of Billy Beer somewhere at my moms house

"Mom, that drunk redneck that lives next door is asking to borrow some beer again!"

Um. Wow. Aside from Jimmy Carter, who should be beaten with a pillowcase full of doornobs, you have some in there that are worse than the most bitter human being alive. So you have that going for you. Which is nice.

Is there anyone on the earth that you admire ?

There have been four replies defending Carter, but no one has been able to state one thing that makes him a great President. Yet you are telling me to get a clue?

I would hope none of us would want to beat anyone with a pillowcase full of doorknobs; not Nixon, Carter, Clinton or Bush. I didn't vote for Carter but wouldn't hurt him. I don't think the things Bush has done qualify him as a good president, but I still wouldn't think beating him up would be an option.
It has less to do with respect for that person or the job they did, but rather just basic human decency.

Speaking of basic human decency, thanks for the thread LW.

You took the bait....

I know. Why bother, right? Jimmy Carter was not the best President ever (of course, I don't think that is a title any President could have). But I think his heart and mind were in the right place and trying to do the right thing during his time in office. Do I think he was a leader that appeared forceful to the rest of the world? No. But when compared to our curent leader that the world thinks is a evil gigantic boob, being just a "nice guy" ain't so bad to me.

Hey - put your big boy panties on.;-)

There ya go! You managed to get boob and Bush in one sentence. Perfect!
Now this doesn't mean I am dragging out my pillowcase and removing my lovely glass doorknobs.
