Positions like mine are but one very minor aspect to setting the world right. We need folks like you reminding us of culture, manners and civilized existence. Without those the finest political philosophies are for naught. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to being edified and refreshed by your postings in another year.El Cidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642175827926988173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-84117678483542220352009-01-03T10:53:00.000-05:002009-01-03T10:53:00.000-05:00You're working a book on manners!

Yes, Lucy, I have found from teaching etiquette classes that the parents and the children most interested are the ones who already have beautiful manners.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-43489412328903128412009-01-03T10:35:00.000-05:002009-01-03T10:35:00.000-05:00Hi.

The more I research and speak to young people the more I notice, like you mentioned, that the ones who are actually interested are the ones who already have mannners. It's a big job trying to bring things back in order...Lucy https://www.blogger.com/profile/13600064401395449845noreply@blogger.com
