A Few Ideas

In thinking about the important issues of today I came up with the following, for starters:

1) If we create a problem, then we have a duty to fix it. This goes for the situation in Iraq, of course, but also applies, I think, to issues like homelessness, racial inequality, etc.

2) A President should not favor one group of citizens over another. He should not favor, for example, the top one percent of the wealthy. He was elected to be President of all the people, not just of a privileged few.

3) a. The present administration in Washington is good at Politics but not good at Government.

b. Government should be about truth. Politics is largely about deception and lies.

c. A crisis of trust exists between the American people and the administration of George W. Bush. The people have difficulty believing this administration.
