11. There is no need to be embarrassed by the actions of members of other species.

Hubby and I were in Paris in August 2003, just after we invaded Iraq. Some people sitting near us
at breakfast in the hotel began speaking with us; I forget which African nation they were from.
Suddenly, the gentleman asks, "What do you think about your President?" I sort of exploded
when I said, "He's not MY president. I didn't vote for him, and I worked against him."
Smiles all around.
Nuff was said, all pleased.
