My three-year-old daughter is learning how to act nicely with people that are different from her. She often watches ‘Postcards from Buster’ on PBS. In one episode, Buster visits kids in Kentucky that are clogging. While I recognize that some religious groups consider dancing sinful, I’m glad that my daughter had a chance to learn about this different lifestyle. In another episode, Buster visits a fair in Indiana where a boy shows a pig and talks about how it will go to the slaughterhouse. While I recognize that some animal rights groups consider this wrong, I’m glad my daughter had a chance to learn about this lifestyle as well.

Members of the Democratic Town Committee showed up as did folks from numerous other groups.
It is Lincoln’s Birthday, 2005 at Christ Church Greenwich. We don’t celebrate Lincoln’s Birthday much anymore and it isn’t a typical day to be in church, but is an important day to be there.
