Well, some people do get excited ... in fact, just about everyone has some issue that he gets in a raucous fluster over occasionally. But mostly, people are trying to live up to high standards, I believe.
How true. But it does depend on the nature of one's statements and how they are represented. I love to seek out the "right-minded" people, those who are trying to do good deeds in this world, but who are not ones who blame others for their own problems, just good old down-home type people. I actually did talk with a liberal the other day who is one of those kind of people. She runs a flower business and puts forth her best effort to please her customers. The funny thing is that she turned out to be more anti-illegal immigration than any conservative I've ever seen (but she did stop short of blaming them for everything).
I believe that your highness, the Nuclear Niceness One is one of those down-home people. :)
My late grandmother would have translated your "down-home people" as "plain dirt folks," and that was a compliment. So thank you! I like to think I can live up to that, at least most of the time - there's nothing like a crowd of children to give you a kick in your pretensions :-).
It sounds as if you're an excellent teacher, and a fine member of your community! (Do you sense the Molasses Miasma of Niceness there?) Just kidding, that was a sincere observation, based on your comments here.
