I believe some of the best candidates lack the backing or political clout to win. People want to hear lies and not the reality. It all starts with education and parenting. Everyone has an opportunity to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness!"

We've had it good for too long and we'll need to screw it up before we seriously change. This is why the powers that be want to continue to make sure to keep the ratio of haves to have nots in check. However, you're not helping them but hurting them by giving them handouts without requirements. You just want to keep your power.

I admire the guy at the stop light with the sign that says "Will work for food" or "Homeless...need help!" He's actually doing something about his situation. Okay, maybe it's a bad example, but I admire him for owning it and acting on it...even if it's a conjob.

My point is kids need get out from behind the media and mix in a book. Moms and Dads mix in a little family time and show your kids how to love and encourage. LIVE WAY BENEATH YOUR MEANS. Remember when folks would work for free until there boss gave them a salary or wage? If your already getting paid for sitting on your butt, there is at least some place you can volunteer or give back.

Think about it!
