Old ladies at our old church used to treat my littlest brother - the one with Down Syndrome - like he was a dog or something. The slightly-younger crowd at least pretended he was human,

Then again, PA has a really high elderly population, so of course I encounter more nasty old folks (they all vote Democrat). There are some older ladies at church now, on the other hand, who are so sweet. One's in our choir, she can't quite hold the tune anymore but she's so nice nobody minds.

Yep...they're democrats. We were sitting in the church library the other day when a lady came in while we were talking about Bush. She wanted to say something nice, couldn't say anything nice about Bush or any Republican for that matter, nor could she say anything nice about Clinton so she went on and on about how wonderful CARTER was!
