Critics - whatever. Part 2 and final word.

Has a critic ever helped edify another human being or tried to preserve life in some way? There may very well be some who really want to use their fortune for good and live a very philanthropic life.

Here are some ideas for those who are called to be a critic with all respect to the profession that seeks to improve quality:

1. Before you criticize the healthcare providers, find the cure and give it freely.

2. Before you criticize the law, try intervention on at-risk youth and prevent their life of crime.

3. Before you criticize the cost, produce and provide the products freely.

4. Before you criticize the food and waitstaff, open a soup kitchen for the homeless.

5. Before you criticize the art, produce something everyone will enjoy.

6. Before you criticize the builder, work in and for dirt.

7. Before you criticize education, provide the full scholarship; I'll take it.

Grandma told me if it's not true, don't say it; if it's not necessary, don't say it; and if it is not kind, don't say it.

Grandma has the final word.
