When I hear somebody ask a person what there thoughts are on a given topic, I am looking for what they believe. While I can understand there are at least two sides to every issue or topic, I find the statement “I can see both sides” very unfulfilling.

                        When I hear someone just say something like “well I can see both sides”, I return with, “well that is great, so what conclusion did that bring you to”?  

            People who say I can see both sides, but never state what they believe are one of three things

             One is that they could be to chicken shit to state what they believe for fear of backlash from people who oppose their belief or point of view.

            The second possibility is they do not realize they are not helping anyone by taking a neutral stance.

            The third being they truly haven’t made up their mind yet. I believe this one is rare. If you haven’t made up your mind yet than say that. Do not hide behind the statement, “I can see both sides”.

            The people who should see both sides and stay “neutral” are teachers and news reporters. However there is an abundance of both, that clearly have agendas, and are clearly not neutral.

Being able to truly see both sides is a great thing. When a person can sit down and look at all angles of any subject, this allows them to come to there own decisions and beliefs.

            The people who believe in an issue strongly enough to fight for what they believe are far and few between. Most of us don’t want to think about it. Or we just wait till it affects us. This is why most of us sit here and get disenfranchised with government. We sit back and say to our selves, “what the hell are they doing”? Yet we let it continue. We let the out spoken minority rule the silent majority.

See we must all know what we believe in order to get anything done. I do not see enough of us having beliefs and using those beliefs to hash out the problems of the day. I do however see a minority of people with strong beliefs on both sides of every argument, who just start passing laws to suit what they see as being the right thing to do when they get into power.

            Most of us agree that the politicians have no clue as to what is going on in the real world. And most of us agree we know better then they do. But the reason they are able to run wild like a bunch of unruly children with to much power, is because we allow it. It is our fault for not standing up and saying STOP.

            It is because far too many of say, “well I can see both sides” yet we do not use that ability to form a strong enough opinion to do something about it. Mean while our country is going down the crapper. If you care as much as you say you do, but don’t believe there is anything you can do about it, STOP. Stop thinking that. That is a weak and passive belief. Being weak and passive is not what made us the envy of the world. It was standing up for what we believe that made us so great.

            So if you care STAND UP AMERICA! First wake up, then STAND UP! If you feel like there is no one to stand next too you are wrong. I am standing why are so many of you still sitting?

I for one am sick of the whole democrat vs. republican thing. I can hardly see any difference. Yet both “sides” continually point fingers at one another, often saying they did this or that. Then the other “side” says, yeah well they did this or that.

Both sides suck. The republicans say the democrats have to much “pork” in there bills. Republicans also claim to be fiscally conservative. Well if the democrats spend way too much, why then in the omnibus bill did democrats, “earmarks” only exceed “fiscally responsible” republicans by 10%?

Most Americans identify themselves as either republican or democrat. Yet hardly anyone is happy with what either party is doing. How does this make any sense?

It’s time to either force both parties to meat our expectations of how things should be done, or discuss the option of another party, or parties. I know this makes me a nut in some people’s eyes, but isn’t it time to start using some sort of sense in politics? Why do so many of us blindly follow parties that, when you apply sense, make no sense. Instead of thinking about things using common sense, many of us just spit out party lines.

When watching the news I see political strategist, and the interviewers ask them questions as if we don’t already know what they are going to say. They are strategist, it is there job to get there party lines out. How about we ask thinkers what they think about these important topics.

Let us air out our grievances without using hate and party lines. We must use sense and sensibility. It has come time for the silent majority to stand up. Please if any one is listening stand with me. We really need to stand together. The world is watching us plummet. Learn from history. Please stand up. We don’t need to agree on everything just FREEDOM.

I have actually heard someone say “it’s that, (racial slur) in the white house”. Turns out they were referring to the excessive spending, and disagreements they have with the policies set forth by our new president. However they did not state their problems with said policies or spending initialy, they only made that blanket statement, even though they only really hate his agenda Well I have some problems with that statement.

The first is the racial slur it’s self. At what point do we get over this? At what point do people come to realize the obvious? The only real differences we as a society have are the ones imposed on us by people with self interest. It isn't  because he is a, (racial slur) that my friend believes the president is screwing up this country, it’s because he is a socialist. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

People like my friend who made that statement also often say that they only use that racial slur towards the people they don’t like, not towards people as a whole. Well, instead of using that ignorant word, if you don't even believe it, how about you state to me what exactly it is that you don’t like about him. Give me examples. Which of his policies do you disagree with?  Say what you mean and mean what you say.

The same goes for people that do like our new president. Tell me what is that you like so much. What policies or actions do you like? And how exactly do said policies and or actions lead us to a better more prosperous place.  Also if you believe he is fixing things it’s because you believe in a socialist nation. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

However, if you actually don’t like someone because of the color of there skin, unlike my friend who made the above statement, please say that. Then at least you are being honest, and I know what I am debating against.

The second problem I have with the statement is, the person who made that statement is only fueling the fires of political correctness.

There are at least two problems I have with political correctness. The first being we are not politicians. Thank god. We don’t have to speak through filters. This allows us to tell the truth, unlike most politicians.

The second major problem I have with being P.C. is it squashes true conversation. For example instead of a racist saying I don’t like the president because of the color of his skin, he feels he must be politacally correct,so that person starts attacking the president on policies they don't even really understand, thus turning attention away from the real issues. As proven by our government, past and present, speaking through a filter only hampers true debate. How do we solve any thing without true debate? It’s not possible. At least if the aforementioned racist was honest we could know he only hates for race and not on real issues. Being politically correct makes it impossible to know who is who, and what they really believe.

Political correctness is designed to silence all of us. It truly knows no boundaries. The very same people that tell us we can’t say this or that, are at the same time telling us exactly what you can say, therefore steering the debates and conversations in the direction they want them to go. Those people also tell us we can’t use hurtful words,  yet the same people lash out with tremendous anger, and hate speech, whenever someone disagrees with them.

I always find myself asking the same questions every time I hear people shouting at people with hate. My question is this. What are they trying to hide? It seams to me we should look more closely at people who are pointing fingers and saying “look what they’re doing” or “well they did this or that back then”. After all, why would people try so hard to get us to look in the opposite direction? Could it be that they have as much, if not more to hide? I think so!

            The things I have been hearing are starting to frighten me. I am getting very concerned with all the money we are spending. I am also concerned that we are about to be silenced. This will happen over my dead body.

            It seems to me people in politics can say and do whatever they want. But the second you, me, or anyone else doesn’t agree with them we get called all sorts of names that are not acceptable when used towards them.

As I have staeted many times, there is almost no difference between republicans and democrats. Almost none! There is nothing that really separates them. They both believe we are too stupid to figure things out for ourselves. They both believe we don’t know what we are talking about. That is why when we ask them to protect our borders they ignore us. Look at the border! The violence is spilling over. Not to mention a reporter for the Washington Post, as well as many government agencies, say Hezbollah, a terrorist organization, is using the insecurity on the border to smuggle terrorist and money in and out of the United States. (update: I now know why the government refuses to keep it's promise to close the border to Mexico, They are our biggest imorter of oil. That is correct, Mexico and Canada. Who knew.)

When we tell them we have had enough bailouts, they ignore us. We don’t have any more money. We cannot live on credit. That is what caused this whole mess. The economic mess was caused by many of us living well beyond our means, insurance companies making up products (security default swaps), the over bloated and broken welfare system, the government forcing banks to make loans to people that could never pay them off (the community reinvestment act), and the United States government borrowing money at high interest rates. Looking at all this, who in there right mind could imagine the economy could hold all this weight?

We tell them they have too much power. They give themselves more power. They are at the end of there ropes. When they gain power we loose more and more of our freedom. We need to get our freedoms back before it is too late. We are getting close to the end. Pretty soon we will have no option other than the unthinkable revolution. And trust me we don’t want a violent revolution. We will end up fighting against each other even though we agree on most things.

Things we all have in common (most of us)

1: No reasonable person wants any thing other then equal rights. This does not mean separate rights. We all have equal rights. While we are all very different we all have equal rights.

2: People as a rule no matter our color, sex, religion, political background or any other differences, love there children and would do any thing to protect them.

3: Most like to work. We enjoy the satisfaction and pride in a job well done. We love the fact that the government has less say in our daily lives if we work for what we have. Most of the people that don’t appreciate a good day’s work don't because they have never enjoyed a hard day’s work. And the freedom it allows.

4: Most have respect for others. While we can enjoy a good sporting event with some violence, most people avoid violence in there daily lives. Who wouldn’t like to live in peace?

5:  We are able to decide what is best for us and our kids. While we will never agree 100%, the biggest obstacle we face is the government. How the hell do our “representatives” many of whom have only ever worked in government know how we feel? They use polls. Many ofthese polls ask questioned intentionally designed to obscure the way we feel.

We can agree the government only has the as much power as we give them. We can take there power back it is never too late. However the longer we wait, the harder it will become.

A big problem is that most of the people that have any clue have to work, raise kids, and have some sort of down time. This allows us to become so consumed in our lives we do not have time to protest. We the people must find time to make the changes that need to be made now! Let us stand united long enough to get our freedoms back.

There seems to be cycles. We stand up and speak out, get things straightened out again and then go back to our daily lives. Well it is time to stand up and get our country straightened out. We must take the time now to sacrifice for the next generation. Our forefathers did it for us. Let us not be lazy. Let’s not hand all this crap to the next. We can do this now and give the younger generation something better then what we found. Let’s roll up our sleeves, weed out the bums, and move on. We can fix this. I look forward to peacefully overcoming this oppressive government, which by the way has been building for decades. This is not about left or right. Let’s stop looking at the left and right. Let’s look at the actual situations, problems, and ways we can fix them.

Let’s get to work.

It’s whose fault?

            Hillary Clinton says the violence on the Mexican border is Americas fault. This is both right and wrong.  She says it is because we create the market for drugs. That is so true. However that is where her righteousness ends. She wants to pass it off as if our war on drugs has nothing to do with the violence.

             Study after study says marijuana should be legalized. Yet we spend billions and billions of dollars on fighting the “war on drugs”. We force people to get their high through the black market. Hello? This makes no sense. Many studies have shown that the cost of legalizing drugs would cost much less then “fighting the war”. History also teaches us that when you make things illegal it drives up the demand. Ever hear of the prohibition on alcohol? I have. When prohibition was lifted crime went down, as did consumption. Use your head. Of course we create the demand and we always will. Legalize it then you can control it better. Seriously, this only makes sense. (after thought: drugs can only be legalized after the disposal of welfare "safety net" programs. Other wise there is no reason to abstain from drug use, because the government will save you).

            If you legalize drugs, instead of spending billions, you would be making money in which to help afflicted people. This is so mindless. The only reason we don’t legalize drugs is because the government has spent billions of dollars on the war on drugs. They are so foolish, stubborn, and short sighted they refuse to look at any other alternative. That and the fact the pot would be extremely hard to tax because unlike cigarettes anyone can grow weed.

            I believe the war on drugs has more to do with the violence on the border than our demand for the drugs. If we provided the service ourselves then we would not need to import it and make violent drug lords rich. You will never stop a free people from doing drugs. Maybe that is why they continuously try to enslave us with new laws that never work. What they are forgetting is we are not afraid to fight. We fought a war because we did not think slavery was right. These days the Republicans and Democrats are one in the same. Neither wants to do anything more then keep us down. They only seek to buy us off  to control us.

            Think about it. If someone wants someone else to be quiet how do they achieve this? Either by using force, as the government has been doing for years, or by paying them off, which is also a favorite of our rich “representatives”.  That is how they operate. They find an angry group of people, promise to help, than give them just enough to say “See I told you we would help. Remember that next time you vote.” However, they have never solved anything. We need to stop letting people buy votes with our money. If you want to help people by giving them something then give them your own money. If you have such great ideas, then raise money and implement your plan.

            Instead of passing mass legislation that affects everyone, start your idea on a small scale. Find like-minded people that agree with your plan and implement it yourselves and pay for it yourselves. Put your money where your mouth is. If your idea is right, and true, and it works, it will spread like wild fire. If it is a bad idea it will die a natural death. Stop forcing everyone to be involved in failed ideology.

            For example, if Welfare is such a great idea, take a place like California where most agree Welfare is the way to go, implement it and fund it. When you can show that it works, maybe others will join you. However, when it produces a group of people that expect less from themselves, and don’t hold one another to the highest standards, at least you can cut your losses.

            On the other hand if you think that welfare is not the way to go, you should be allowed to have a welfare free state; a state where you don’t pay into or receive welfare funds. Again, if this works it would spread like wild fire. On the other hand if it is a disaster, it too would die a natural death.

            See, there are two sides to every thing. However there is only one “best way”. Yet we cannot figure out what that is because we move too quickly from one direction to the next. Think of it as a pendulum. The more you swing it one way, the farther it goes the other. We need to start back in the neutral position before we swing so violently in one direction or the other that we just start spinning out of control.

Lead by example,

            This has always been something I sincerely believe in. It really works. It works better then using force. Force should be used to create stability and safety.

            Leading by example works better then shoving something in some ones face. When people see you doing things, and living certain ways, they are able to see the benefits for them selves.

            I have seen this in my own life. To be truthful I haven’t always been the best leader. I have been in charge of people and saw with my own eyes what happens when you don’t lead by example. It takes the whole group down. I have been lazy in the past, when people were looking to me to lead. I am not perfect, but I did learn from my mistakes.

            I realize I can’t go back and change the things I have done in the past. While we are unable to change our mistakes, we can learn from them and do better next time. And to be quite honest I have come to the conclusion I don’t want to change them. I wish I hadn’t done some things, but I realize I am stronger because of them.

            It feels like nobody is leading by example any more. While we struggle our leaders are having parties, at the same time pointing out that companies we bailed out are partying on our dime. Hello so are you. Who do you think pays you Mr. President?  

            Everyday it seems our stellar leadership in Washington is doing a magic show. There shtick is making money disappear. They are not fixing anything. They are using what we say to pass what they want.
            When they bailed out big companies we said hey forget Wall, street what about Main, street? So what did they do? They passed a bill to give all small business five hundred and fifty dollars. I run a small business. Five hundred and fifty dollars will not create a single job. It cost tens of thousand of dollars a year to have one employee on the books. Even with the three thousand dollar tax credit you still can’t hire somebody if there is no work to be done. If you want to create jobs and growth get the hell out of our way.

            This to me is not leading by example to me it’s a circus. Look over there while we do whatever the heck we want over here. Because if you look over hear and see what we’re doing, you would throw us out so fast we’d have road rash on our collective asses, as well as a foot print.

We are being led by our noses in directions we do not even understand. They start by not teaching truths. Then they can pass whatever they want without us even seeing. We must educate ourselves on what we were founded on. I will never be part of a global government. I will never go to the shelters when they call for the end of the world. I do not trust government. There are too many people with there own interest at heart. Too much power corrupts. They have been corrupted. America needs to look out for America.

 We have tried to spread freedom. We have given more money to other countries in the name of helping then any other country. Yet we are constantly and consistently berated for trying to help. So I have a thought. Let’s stop giving and see what happens. Other countries have been letting us do the crap they know needs to be done but they want to be able to demonizing us for doing it. Let’s see what happens when we stop helping. Use the old saying, “see what happens when they don’t have the U.S to kick around any more”.

            The world acts like we are the enemy. So let’s bring everyone home. Let’s protect ourselves and they will beg for help again. If we stop spending today, seriously stop spending money on everything but self defense and basic services, not only would we have enough money to help everyone in our country, we could defend ourselves against any attack. No country in the world can compete with a united America. Freedom separates us from them. When we take our freedoms back we can get back to being,”that city on the hill”.  

            Let us lead by example. When people see the real America, the one were we are united in what we believe they will ask for our help. We are headed towards doing what is proven to not work in other countries. We need to go back to what has been proven to work. That is what got us to be the envy of the world. Lead by example. Don’t follow blindly. We have sold our rights. We need to get them back. Lead by example. Stand up for what is right and what works. LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

Seriously, it’s time.

            How long will it take before we the people stand up? And by, we the people I mean all Americans of every race. We are a united country. We are united by basic beliefs.

And by stand up I mean peacefully but firmly. I don’t want to fight with people because of race, religion, sexual equalities, sexual preference, immigration, bailouts, blah, blah, blah. I want to discuss these things without fear of being persecuted. Am I alone?

Yet every time I turn on the tube I get fed all this crap. The media and the government are controlling the conversation. The only reason for this is to protect there self interest. These fat pigs sit in Washington and refuse to stop making laws that benefit themselves not us. We have spoken over and over again, asking both parties to stop. They are ignoring us. They work for us. They represent us. They are not allowed to ignore us and they know it, that’s why they NEED to control the conversation. They are not aloud   to say things like, “well I understand you don’t want me to vote for that, but you don’t know what I know”. Screw you. Of course we don’t understand all the intricate crap you have designed. That’s how you designed it. People with jobs don’t have time to read an 80,000 page tax code. Even the people who do our taxes are guessing half the time. The man that writes the codes doesn’t even understand them. Stop.

            I am so sick of all this crap. I am standing up. How about you? When will we become the people that we need to be?  To do the things that need to be done, and say what needs to be said. When will we discuss issues without being hindered by political correctness? WHEN? It is never too late. However, it will only get harder the longer we let them weave these webs of incompetents.

            They have had many years to build all these walls that protect there interest. Let’s not give them any more time. They have had there day to steal, rape and pillage us. And it does affect all of us. It’s seriously time to take it back. We can do this peacefully without any body getting hurt. So pay attention, do your homework, and decide what direction we want this country to go in. Let’s stop procrastinating and roll our sleeves up and get to   work.

            I feel like we are not getting any truth from anyone. I feel this deep down in my heart. I can clearly see that most people that give us our information have very one sided agendas. I am at the point in my life where I am not giving anyone any more power then they have. I am confident we have the power. It is abundantly clear we have the power. If we had no power why would the government and the media need to feed us false information? This is because we control them. That is why they feel they need to shape our opinions, so we will fight for what they think we need to fight for.

            There is endless evidence of studies that have been ignored because the study did not support certain people’s beliefs. We need to stand up for what we believe. I am tirelessly looking for truths. It is my dream to be able to investigate many of lives “news” reports. It drives me crazy that it is so obvious that only one side of every story is being represented. What happened to the press? Was it worth selling out? Obviously not since most news papers are hurting. I think people can see they are not getting the whole truth. The problem is there is hardly anyone who will tell the whole truth because it does not coincide with there agenda.

            One example is Global warming, or climate change, or is it climate chaos?

There are many people that are great scientist that do not agree with global warming. However somehow Al Gore knows better then they do. I do not want to be an ideologue. I want to sit down and discuss the best ways to do everything and anything.

            We must stop letting people degrade people that do not agree with others. If people do something wrong, that should be pointed out. But this petty grade school bullying and name calling never gets anything done. Stop attacking and start working to get things done. That means you to congress.

            We can not solve anything with false information. We need to stand next to the people we agree with without fear of being ousted by the media. I have made the promise that I will never be silenced. I will say what I believe. I do not want to hurt anyone but I will not be filtered by fear of doing so. That is why I have chosen the internet. I can say what I want when I want. I will fight for the right to do so. It is vitally important that we defend each others rights to do with our lives as we please, so long as we don’t hurt others we have the right to do what we wish with our own bodies and property.

            Let us find the truths that are our there together. We must look past slander and designed statements. If you tell me something that you are representing as a fact, and you want me to believe it, you must prove it. We as a society need to start basing our actions on facts, not party lines. This is so ridiculous. I am going to fight. Not with my fist but with my beliefs of what is right and wrong.

Me on immigration,

How can I tell people to forget political correctness and speak there minds, and not do so myself? I can’t.

            This subject is very volatile. The word immigrant alone can make people want to fight. We are constantly fed party lines. I am so sick of party lines. So today I am crossing one of the lines in the sand, damn the consequences. But please, at least read the whole article before deciding you if agree or disagree.

            I have beliefs. They don’t stem from republicans or democrats. They come from within. So I’m going to state my feelings about immigration. Not worrying about being called a racist, fascist, or heartless. Because I know if I am called those words for using sense and stating what I believe it’s only because someone wants to shut me up. And I will not be silenced. Not by the left or the right.

            I believe in controlled immigration. This is not because I hate Mexicans. This is because no system can withstand unlimited weight without  being crushed. People say “yeah well you’re an immigrant”. Firstly no I am not. I was born here. Secondly, my ancestors obviously were, considering I am not Native American. However they did not run across the border unchecked. The Irish, French, and Scottish, were brought to this great land by boats. They stopped at Ellis Island and were processed. They were given paper work. This paper work gave them an identity in this country. No person can contribute without an Identity.

            We can however, withstand tremendous weight when the proper structure is build to hold up our system. However, how can we build the appropriate structure without knowing how much weight it must hold? This is the purpose of having to “check in”. This is a prime example of “special interest” and “political correctness” controlling the conversation. (By the way we all have “special interest”). See, by calling anyone who wants control over our boarder’s racist they don’t need to address the real problem. That would be like work. Who wants that? And the people that are racist don’t help either. They only give political correctness the examples it needs to squash any real conversation.

            We need to control the boarders. If you want more immigrants then have that debate. I for one am tired of this crap. Let’s discuss the ways we can absorb more people into the system. Not let them in the back door. Talk about oppressing good hard working people. Why wouldn’t you want them to be able to contribute? Imagine if we encouraged contribution across racial lines, instead of handing people just enough to survive. What a force we could be when united.

I truly believe if you expect more from people then they won’t let you down. And I mean all people, this includes you white people. Imagine how strong we would be if we all worked together, instead of working against each other. Seriously consider the possibility, and I know this is crazy, but consider that maybe; just maybe we can build something better, TOGEHETER, people of all races.

            When I turned 16, I was given a 1985 ford ranger. Keep in mind I worked; I helped my parents out, and did chores. But I defiantly did not take as good care of that truck as I do the one I had to put a down payment on, and am still making the payments on. How does this not make sense? It like so totally does. See if I am responsible for something, and it’s my ass on the line, or my head on the chopping block, then I will try harder to keep my head from being cut off.

            By some estimates we have twenty million people in this country that are here illegally. That’s 20,000,000 people that can’t, by law, pay taxes. They are handed just enough to live, but not enough to move forward. This is by design. It’s designed to buy votes.

If people were able to make a life for themselves why would they need the government? They wouldn’t. That is why a lot of Americans of all races, as well as non Americans are given just enough to stay alive. That is the power of oppression.

Think it through. Seriously, stop right now and try to think of a better way of keeping people down. Can you imagine a more efficient way of keeping people from standing up for them selves, or speaking against the “elected” officials,  then by giving them just enough to survive, and never any more. Keep in mind that is all the government will ever be able to give, just enough to survive, barely.And not forever. 

I bet you couldn’t design a better way of keeping people from speaking against you than that. Unless of course you add a way to keep them arguing over everything but the true issues. Oh wait, they are doing that to. It’s called partisan politics.

I never understand why people of any race would want to be told you can’t handle life on your own, or that there are too many obstacles. That is the way the politicians pull on your strings. They know that by feeding and clothing you, not to mention slipping in false topics to keep us arguing, then they can control you enough to advance there power hungry agendas.

We the people does not mean “we the white people”. It only means we the people, as a whole. We really have very little to fight about if you really think about it and stop listening to all the people that are trying hard everyday to keep you full of nonsensical talking points.

Take away homework?

Is it really a good idea to stop making kids do homework? How about giving them a chance to retake a test, after they get caught cheating?  The Plano Texas school district thinks so.

I watched a news story today. While “reporting”, this story, the dimwitted anchor women agreed with the “no homework” idea. What was her reasoning? “Some kids I know do 6 hours of homework a night.” Really you nitwit, are you sure? Ok, I think we can all agree, in some cases, the homework load is a little much. I don’t see how that is a good reason to take away homework completely.

Please, don’t misunderstand me, I always hated homework. I usually refused to do it. But I had to do it, at least to some degree, to graduate.

What it all boils down to is: how many times are we going to lower the bar for our future leaders? 

I can see all the children in this school district standing up and cheering (even though one fifth grader went on the news to say he didn’t agree with what they were purposing).

However, what is the reasoning, of thinking adults, behind not holding children to the highest standards? You either meet the standard, or you don’t. If you do then great you get the job that involves having a good education. If you don’t then you go get a job doing something else, it’s not the end of the world. Many people have been terrible in school and become very successful. But you have to prove yourself somewhere, if not in school, than you prove yourself by starting at the bottom.

There is no way for anyone to know what your capable of, until you PROOVE it. How will we know peoples capabilities unless we grade them on there achievements? I don’t care if your feelings get hurt. People don’t strive to be better, unless there is some reason, some sort of benefit to them.

When you give a child a second chance to take a test after cheating what kind of message is that sending? I believe it is sending the exact wrong signal. Think it through. Without consequences most people will have no reason to do the right thing. Anyone else notice there seems to be a shortage of people doing the RIGHT THING? Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt it.
