New Leaf...New Atitude

I'm not sure why I have been so worried about politics in America these last ten years. I am not an influencer. I'm not even an activist. I am just an opinionated onlooker. I think most government programs are wonderful. Starting with paved streets and operable sewer systems. I appreciate law enforcement, fire fighters and mental health counselors. My Social Security check is a huge help because I like to spend money on healthy food and petrol. Sure I have my preferences when it comes to politicians...I prefer that they are honest and set excellent examples of behavoir that our children can emulate as they become upstanding and powerful adults. Well, there you go...this is one big reason to be concerned with politics...example setting! Still, I love that there is a Medicare program and educational opportunities for all Americans. I believe in honor and honesty and kind of expect that in those who seek power over the rest of us. So, there's only so much I can control here...I'll just keep setting my own good example and continue treating the people around me like they are family...living by 'The Golden Rule'.
