Where does the bullying come from?

Did you ever wonder where the bullying in schools is coming from?... If we say it's okay to be vulgar, to insult and demean, and to disrespect even the highest office in the land, is it any wonder that kids think it's okay to do that to their peers? Add to that the rants of the religious right which do nothing but heighten the fears and bigotry that run so deeply in society. Folks, it's time to reclaim some human dignity here, and I call upon every person who holds or hopes to hold a position of influence or authority to model the common decency and respect that they would like to experience

The saddest thing is that in politics, as often in life, the bullies win too often. Until we all stand up to them, it will continue to happen.
