I think I have it figured out! Each day I read the opinion pages and the various pundits (political and otherwise).None of us really have a clue as to what Congress is doing. The Congress is actually the driving force behind any efforts made on behalf of the United States in other countries and within our borders.The President (whoever that may be) can only propose projects whether they are national or global, the final decision is left to Congress. Keep in mind that we (the people) elect the Congress based on their appeal to our mental processes. basic beliefs and ethnicity, unfortunately we also are subject to the advertising of candidate’s ability and what we are told they will do. At this stage of my life I have had an opportunity to look back on what I have read and heard and have come to understand that the only real truth is the truth within each one of us.If we as individuals do not act as individuals we are already lost and the politicians who constantly under represent us while espousing advocacy for us have won -Again! I propose that we as voters pay less attention to what seems correct and more attention to what is not.

Today I witnessed the essence in parenting. Two (2) Moms literally drug their children across a busy street in the middle of the block, against traffic instead of going to the traffic signal at the corner. Habits learned at the feet (and hands) of the parents continue into adult life. If confronted with this potential deadly habit how many children will killed in traffic accidents? Where were they going in such a hurry that they could not walk to the corner (about 20 or 30 steps) and set a good example? They were going to the “Y”! I have witnessed this same behavior with other patrons of the “Y”, could this be because the entrance and exit to the “Y”s parking is located in the middle of the block but directly across from the main entrance. It is obvious that the entrance or the parking lot access cannot be moved but a little common sense would be a big step.
