I never knew quite how to take it.<BR/><BR/>Chris: I wonder if you defined it the way you did because every time you heard it, it had a negative tone to it. Putting a negative spin on your own definition may help you to make sense of it. I am just theorizing here.<BR/><BR/>Bonnie and Walt: I agree. I think this is where some kids get confused about the world. Up is down; wrong is right, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-1169422374860222992007-01-21T17:32:00.000-06:002007-01-21T17:32:00.000-06:00Very nice analysis, Jeff.

Hearts of stone and 'bad' actions are apparently much to be admired.<BR/><BR/>Bonnie and WaltBon & Mal Motthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487101987161780444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-1169393279128770062007-01-21T09:27:00.000-06:002007-01-21T09:27:00.000-06:00I always thought that a do-gooder was a practical ...I always thought that a do-gooder was a practical term. My impression was that a "do-gooder" was insincere and only made a front of "doing good" for others to see. Whereas someone that does-good actually does good all the time, whether or not anyone is watching. <BR/><BR/>But that was all just my personal definition.
