Of The People...

Has America lost the art of compromise? Have we adopted the "them vs. us or somebody loses" attitude as the only solution to our problems? If we listen carefully, we might be surprised at how well we can work together. Again, I write... "Nothing can be sliced so thing, that there are not two sides"... think about it

Politicians... come election time... we will be singing... "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" Every American should have this song on their minds when choosing the next politician. There is good and bad in both parties... choose who is working on our behalf... right now, not what they promise to do later... WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Ask yourself America, why you are dissatisfied with the way things are now... is it because no one is trying to make things right or is it because you believe everything you read and hear? Ask yourself, does every one of your plans work as you planned? What part did you take in creating the situation you find yourself? Was there something you could have done and did not?

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."" ... and that government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, shall not perish from the earth." If we keep blaming our politicians without stepping up to the plate... if we wait until election time to make...

...America as we have known it will perish from the earth. Our complacency is the reason America is in the state it finds itself. We have relinquished our lives to politicians based on clever marketing at election time. Where were those people leading up to November? What were they doing for us? Spend the next couple of months asking this question. Know before you go… and vote.

Lastly, everything takes time! Nothing (effective) happens overnight. We learn by trial and error, even our politicians. No one can plan so well that positive results are guaranteed. Acts of God, acts of man, either will disrupt our plans. Every family has at least one “Black sheep”, even our government. No one can control every member of its family. They can only try.

It is ludicrous to blame all the Democrats or all the Republicans because of something that does not go as planned or because someone turns out to be inept or dishonest. Blame the person, not the whole party. This is the year 2010; before we realize it, elections will be here, use your brains America... before you vote, think! I have too many “skeletons in my closet” to run for office, this is not my purpose for this writing.
