An old man's message for the young

It is spring and young people are graduating from high school and college. I have grandchildren who have reached this point in their lives. They all have hopes and expectation as well as views on what the world they live in should be like. When asked what I think, this is my response. I was born before computers, internet, cell phones and even television where I lived. My world was very different then the world we have now. Statistically I have only a few years left and you have a life time. The next generation will shape this country not old people like me. The only advice I have is remember your physics, every action has a reaction and an ancient philosopher said for every decision there is a consequence. Your actions and decisions will make the world you must live in. Look past what will benefit you today or what is trendy now and weigh the reaction and consequences be they socially, economically or environmentally because you are shaping the world you spend your life in. That all this old man can offer. Good luck.

The repubs are at it again.

The republicans are scared to death that Hillary Clinton will run in twenty sixteen. The only thing they have is the Benghazi incident and they will waste time and money trying to discredit her. To bad they didn't feel the same when president Bush, daddy Cheney and uncle Rumsfeld started a war for fun and profit.
