Bullies

In the last couple weeks bullying has come to the front as the new scourge of America. We will be told that we need to have the Department of Education, and the legislature spend money and pass laws to outlaw this practice. I think the best way to end bullying is to start at the top.

In Hollywood we have celebs tweeting and talking about ending it, yet they put out shows like "Bad Girls Club", "Jerseylicious"and not to mention TMZ just to name a few. All of these promote bullying, fighting and with TMZ, stalking. Shouldn't Hollywood set a good example by ending programs like these?

How bout unions? How many "scabs" have been intimidated or physically harmed for doing nothing more than crossing and imaginary line? How about the people that didn't join the union? Do you really think the union workers just let these workers go? Why do you think they want card check? So they can see exactly who voted against them. Maybe they should set an example by not using intimidation as business as usual.

How bout politicians? In California Jerry Brown's entourage calls Meg Whitman a "whore", isn't this a form of bullying? Sarah Palin is called everything but a child of God from the left. Our own President is now using his bully pulpit to go after the Chamber of Commerce for opposing him! These aren't terrorists or enemy's of the state, but the shops on main street! If the government is serious about bullying shouldn't they scold our President first?

If you want to end bullying maybe the first thing we should do is set an example for our kids. This will do more than any amount of money or laws could do.
