Some public figures just love to make the same mistakes. John Mayer, for example, constantly dropping the n-bomb. Someone else who's been known to put their foot in their mouth is Vice President Joe Biden. In March of last year, he was heard to say "Give me a fucking break," when a former colleague referred to him as "Mr. Vice President".
& now this happens. After introducing President Obama before he was to sign his $940 million health care bill, the two men pulled into a close embrace, and the VP could be heard whispering, "This is a big fucking deal". Did he forget that there was a microphone there? In any case, his colorful language has drawn gasps and raised eyebrows, as usual.
Do you think its that serious? Yeah, sure, he's the Vice President of the United States, and he was in a crowded room, inches from a microphone. But everyone lets out a "fuck" or a "cunt" from time to time, right? ...I didnt think so.

THIS MOMENTOUS DAY!
Not one day in anyone’s life is an uneventful day, no day without profound meaning, no matter how dull and boring it might seem, no matter whether you are a seamstress or a queen, a shoeshine boy or a movie star, a renowned philosopher or a Down’s syndrome child.
Because in every day of your life, there are opportunities to perform little kindnesses for others, both by conscious acts of will and unconscious example.
Each smallest act of kindness – even just words of hope when they are needed, the remembrance of a birthday, a compliment that engenders a smile – reverberates across great distances and spans of time, affecting lives unknown to the one whose generous spirit was the source of this good echo, because kindness is passed on and grows each time it’s passed, until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage years later and far away.
Likewise, each small meanness, each thoughtless expression of hatred, each envious and bitter act, regardless of how petty, can inspire others, and is therefore the seed that ultimately produces evil fruit, poisoning people whom you have never met and never will.
All human lives are so profoundly and intricately entwined – those dead, those living, those generations yet to come – that the fate of all is the fate of each, and the hope of humanity rests in every heart and in every pair of hands.
Therefore, after every failure, we are obliged to strive again for success, and when faced with the end of one thing, we must build something new and better in the ashes, just as from pain and grief, we must weave hope, for each of us is a thread critical to the strength – the very survival – of the human tapestry.
Every hour in every life contains such often-unrecognized potential to affect the world that the great days for which we, in our dissatisfaction, so often yearn are already with us; all great days and thrilling possibilities are combined always in THIS MOMENTOUS DAY!
Excerpt from Dean Koontz’s book, “From the Corner of His Eye”.
It embodies the idea of how the smallest of acts can have such a profound effect on each of our lives.
