Let’s get the country moving in the right direction

Recently I began to look around at our country and society, wondering about how we could make things better.  I thought about how our schools seem to be failing in their mission; how the housing crisis has thrown so many people out of their homes, perhaps having to move in with family or friends; how we have so many people out of work with little or no income after unemployment checks run out.  My list went on and on.

Then I thought, perhaps we should devise a list of all the bad things and campaign for our Congress to fix them all so that it would become our right to not have to endure any of them. Let’s not wait for all these things to work their way through the courts, or for the ideas to perk up from we citizens.  Sure, we have a Bill of Rights already that spells out the rights given to us through natural law and the creator.  But times have changed.

It’s now a few hours later.  I had to take a break.  During the break I asked my wife to check out what I had already written.  I noticed the troubled look on her face.  I asked her what’s wrong?  She said somehow this theme I was working on sounded familiar.

She went to the bookshelf and pulled out some books she has read lately and poked through them.  She has been reading a lot about FDR.  She closed the book, put it back on the shelf and said, “I think you should google ‘FDR Bill of Rights‘.  See what you find.”

I did.

Never mind………
