Laura Bush used the phrase "sacred music of democracy" to describe complaints and criticisms directed against leadership (or anyone, really).
While I remain convinced that there must be a more civil forum for the exchange of ideas/opinions than the majority of derisively sensationalist shows out there... Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O'Reilly come readily to mind... it is a tremendous blessing to live so freely that government can be relentlessly verbally attacked as they wish. Open communication is vital for success. In turn, the people are free to censor what they will by changing the channel, it can't be forced upon them.
So thank goodness in that respect for the myriad composers of "nay," who remind me of the "yay" of American freedom.
