Groundhog's Day


For someone who believes governments exist to help people (not just provide for the common defense, but also promote the general welfare) it is easy to be discouraged.

Not too much is for certain but, if anything is, it is that things change over and over again.

Take a look at Tiger Woods, Brett Favre and Gilbert Arenas in the sports world. Look at what happened to the Democrats in Massachusetts.

On the brighter side, remember more and more American voters each day are minorities and youths and, while all the attention today is on the birthers and tea party activists, they’re outnumbered. Someone has to wake up this new kind of silent majority and Obama is working hard to do just that. In the short run, if he can’t do it, nobody can. It’s winter today; soon it will be spring.
If everyone focuses on just what is in their interest, finds out which candidate supports their interest and then, most importantly, registers and votes in their interest, things will get better. They always do. But, then again, in about two or three years everything will get worse. This time, let’s be prepared for it, if we can.
