As 2016 draws to an end… I reach that moment when I consider what next?
A few thoughts… moving toward 2017
Category: Thoughts
Lets yell… but care!
Being able to disagree and work together is not a strange concept. Anyone who’s played in a band knows this to be true. You don’t need to like or even speak to the person next to you… just produce beautiful music together. Other wise you don’t keep the gig or get the loud applause.
I enjoy the type…
I am starting to think of email as the post card of today. What you wrote on a post card could be read by anybody. You just hope they enjoy it as much as you did writing it. If not… you did!
Getting ready for 2017
I am looking forward to 2017 and plan on doing a lot of letter writing (snail mail) bike riding, picture taking, hiking and typing throughout the year.
December 7, 2016… memory!
I like to think that 75 years after the bombing of Pear Harbor… we as a nation would have a common memory of America. Then in a moment of respect be together as a county… silent together!
On a typewriter… Left or Right views… The words type the same!
Starting to settle down from the recent election. Reading conservative and liberal media comments has resulted in a large consumption of aspirin. I read about the same event… and come away believing two different events occurred.
At least my 105 year old Remington types the same words… all the time.
… a few pennies more!
To get my high school diploma I had to pass a test on the U.S. constitution. I would have failed the test if I said one amendment was more American than the other… which is how it seems when 2nd Amendment and 1st Amendment folks fight over what it means to be American. But hey that’s what the lst Amendment is for!
People who respect the flag “do not burn it”… A constitutional right does not mean condoning or respecting those who act under it. It just means if we believe in the Constitution and rulings of the supreme court; then there is a proper way to change the Constitution and it is not by talking at one another but by voting on it. Just recall that many voted for prohibition… and it had to be repealed. Think, talk, discuss, debate… Just saying!
2 Cents
I just don’t get it… if I win a race why do I care if the loser cheated? After all if they cheat and lose… they must really be bad at what they do! Just saying…
I’ve taken a keen interest in what is being said these days… a lot of it does not make any sense at all.. Not even 1 cent…
It took Republicans to overcome Democrates who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964
It could have been 1967 or 8 when our family took a trip to Washington D.C.; we stopped at the office of a Conservative republican Senator Everest McKinley Dirksen… I was not that interested (I wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial); I could not understand why we needed to travel from Illinois to D.C. in the hopes of seeing someone from Illinois… Now 48 years later I understand!
The day after the election (9 Nov 2016)… Standing up and not tearing down!
The person I voted for did not win. The people of America made a choice. As such I will support that choice and uplift and not tear down our new President.
Doing what is right and good for our country is better than stall, obstruct and delay. Lets stand tall for America not sling mud at it.
I will not risk more decay in our country by name calling or character shaming… I will instead push back with insight, kindness and a strong belief that an already great nation can become better by being a leader of change for good…
