Boxer has earned the right to be called "Senator" if that is her choice, regardless of what you Homer Pubs think you're entitled to.

She has. That is protocol. I'm not a fan of hers, but protocol is to call a Senator, Senator; Judge, your Honor; President, Mr. President.

We have lost our regard for respect and honor in this country. We feel that we all put our pants on the same way, thus I owe no one anything. That is unfortunate, because that same lack of societal respect has our children no longer saying yes sir/no sir, thank you, etc... This line of thinking, that no one deserves any respect, is due to the tolerant society that we now live in. The same society that has left the teachings of the bible that does tell us to honor your father and your mother, to give Caesar what is Caesar's - which means respect man and honor God!
