Thoughts of the Day

There are too many people who get involved in politics based on a single issue.  See the big picture people.

There are too many career politicians.  The founding fathers did not intend for citizens to spend their lives in office.  Get a real job.

Term limits should be imposed by voters, not laws.

For some there is only black and white, no gray.  Life is mostly gray.

I believe there should be a test to pass before voting in elections.  There are too many voters who know not what they vote for, nor why.

To fix all that ails our education system we all need to put the students first.  Parents especially.

Throwing more money at education is certainly not the answer.  Catholic schools perform better across the board than public schools with much less money and lower teacher salaries.  We need to learn from that.

We put too much emphasis on halls of fame.  There are many famous people not in any hall of fame, and for many reasons.

Look around and try to learn from the mistakes of others.  You know there are a lot of examples to learn from out there.

I wish reporters and commentators would ask politicians the next question.  They are content to let politicians talk without answering questions, and accept that.

In physics there is a law that states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  In life this mean actions have consequences.  I wish people who act would take responsibility for the consequences of those actions.

Suing Warner Brothers over the Colorado theatre shootings is misguided.

Judges who allow lawsuits to go forward when they are obviously unwarranted, do no favors to society.  Frivolous lawsuits deserve to be thrown out. 

President Obama says AK-47's should not be in the hands of criminals.  Do you think anyone disagrees with that?  Not even the NRA disputes that position.  The president is setting up straw man arguments to which there is no disagreement.
