Hey Space,
While I would welcome this as being a required curriculum, I only have a few problems.
1). For some reason, our schools are having a difficult time teaching; Math, Reading, English, History and Equality.
2). I come from San Diego — You know, Enron by the Sea — Our politicians have a difficult time sitting at work without figuring out how to spend our money AND line their pockets, AT THE SAME TIME!
3). We have Scandal after scandal in Washington D.C. involving our elected officials and bribes, kickbacks, favors — You name it!
4). We have the richest people, in the richest country and most are trying to figure out how to get even richer.
5). Who sets the standard? Is it the Coach that will win at any cost – even if that cost is by benching a marginal player or will it be the School Board member that refuses to have a class properly instructed because his OWN religious beliefs run contrary to the accepted sciences. We could have the Gay teacher who is afraid to come out for fear that he will be unfairly scrutinized or maybe the teacher who is on his third marriage who doesn’t fully understand the concept of “Til Death Us Do Part”.
You and I and everyone else that is reading these answers all have high morals. The problem is, ON WHAT CAN WE AGREE? Sadly, this isn’t the old argument that “I know what pornography is when I see it” days. They are still banning books in certain school districts, yet attempting to pass laws that dictate that a state system can only teach about Gay’s in a positive light….? (What if Hitler was Gay? Wasn’t Jefferey Dahmer Gay? I am Gay and I don’t subscribe to that kind of legislative interference!
After all of this rambling, I can only propose one thing:
Please, parents, family and those that care. Teach our children well! Show them guidance and mostly teach them how to see the difference between right and wrong!
I think if our kids are raised right (whatever that means) they will be able to make just and honorable decisions in life!
And that is my 10 minutes on the soapbox!

Hey Nido,
My vote is going to the Palm Restaurant. It’s been around since the turn of the century, has weathered depression, war, recession and the odd craze of diets that have banished most restaurants from our special event lexicon.
The food is Beef, beef and more beef. Their prices are high. I think the 1 diet thing on the menu is chicken breast or fish. It is old world dining (The place where our rich Uncle would take us to when he came to town).
BUT
They have managers and employees that have been with them for 25-30 years. Presidents and Members of Congress eat there. We finally got one in San Diego this past year. They don’t issue coupons, they don’t need to! They don’t have an early bird or senior dining menu, they don’t need one! Children’s menu? Why? You’re supposed to get a babysitter. They don’t have valet parking, it’s not part of the dining event! Yet they have nearly 30 restaurants in the United States, alone!
It’s not snooty, it’s just real good adult dining! I know that if I go there to have a relaxing meal with friends or my wife, I will have just that — A Relaxing Meal!
That’s my vote!

Hey Abby,
I am taken by the fact that so many had their best service only a few days/weeks ago….
On a date, many years ago, I was with my g/f at a place called the “Greenhouse” outside of Chicago. Everything that night was perfect.
The server was so great that, we in fact, never really saw him. Other than our initial ordering, we only had a symphony of unseen hands that would add and remove plates, refill waters etc. Whatever we needed, magically appeared. It was as if her and I were the only two that were dining that night.
I have had exceptional service from many places throughout the world but nothing has ever equaled this. I only wish when I proposed, I had the exact same experience.
So I guess the key word for the “WHAT” would be — We felt uninterrupted, unrushed and definately appreciated!
Thanks for a great question.

Well Ron,
Not necessarily — Edward Heath was “Allegedly” gay.
OK, not really, he just always hung out with “Educated, Male Friends”
