TheOldBarn Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Sometimes it seems as though it depends, on which news stories you choose. There are less wars, yet the wars that we have are much more hideous, with, the long strung out Syrian civil war, the bombing of innocent people in Yemen, combined with the grip of environmental disasters that affect the ME, and any island in the Atlantic, such as Puerto Rico. Where are the topic experts in Trumps administration, and where were they before when Obama was president? How do we take care of our own, and still, lead the world? We can't save Mexico, or Venezuela, but we can, and we most definitely should do our utmost to help any way that we can. For this you need environmental policy experts, For this you need clear information about the constraints that people face all over the world. Surely we do need a sound and humane policy towards immigration in the U.S. You need a sound and clear strategy regarding a way forward regarding healthcare that is, free at the point of delivery, where everyone is covered, And it has to be affordable, meaning not paying twice as much as all the other countries who provide much more to all their citizens! We should be the leaders, us, this country that is supposed to stand for freedom and some long thought out democracy, which is by its very nature now, and forever stooped in diversity. Take the big money out of politics. Retrieve the best minds to work at the NIH, or to focus on building a Twenty First Century electronic grid. We should focus on mitigating what we already know about the changing climate, here and all around the globe. We need to work with other countries and help them do the same. Are we better off now? I only know we should be. But that means a heck of a lot more than the same old, same old nonsensical division that's been offered up by our current day congressional non-leaders who spend a large part of their time raising funds from who the hell knows where... Make a better IRS, make a better environmental policy, make a real healthcare policy people can depend upon, make better schools, motivate people who think they got zero chance to succeed... yes, yeah... nothing I just stated should be hard to comprehend.

TheOldBarn Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 A public service message for congressional leaders we might choose to elect: you have to have your paddles on each side of the boat working together, in a precise way, and with great effort, to move forward. You have to trust the paddlers on each side, as you knuckle down and move forward, creating a new positive wind which is easy enough to feel by any progress in the boat that has been made. Stroke , stroke , keep those paddles synchronized, and keep your wits about you, push with your arms from your shoulders, And use your legs, and listen with your ears Keeping your eyes wide open toward the prize!!! Row row row, take that boats bottom, and make it glide across the water like there's no tomorrow. That is the joy, and that is the reason why for everything and anything...
