Some thoughts reached as of April 2018

... Nearly half of registered voters in the United States did not vote in the 2016 election. As if they felt helpless ... as if their vote did not matter ... as if no one was listening to them ... because the leaders were all busy yelling at them, telling them what to think ...

... one party rule is not healthy for democracy ... neither are uncontested elections ...

... with the collapse of traditional journalism, the government does not have as many watchdogs as they had in years gone by ... who can watch them now?

... government must be fiscally responsible, but you can have empathy -- a social conscience -- while also being smart with money ...

... men and women experience the world very differently ... so do white people and people of color ...

... politics is not a spectator sport ...

stay tuned ...
