Thoughts of the day (See July 11, 2016)


A vehicle travels more safely and gets to its destination more efficiently when it has both braking and acceleration systems in balance. Conservatives are people who value the traditions and accomplishments of their culture, respect just authority, want limits on government so it will stay out of their business, believe people should live within their means, and want to preserve what’s good in their culture. Liberal/progressives are people who envision a better future for their culture, challenge unjust authority, believe the government has a role in helping people at the bottom of the pile stay healthy and have the opportunity to improve their lot, want limits on individuals and organizations who have accumulated vast amounts of money and power, believe those with more should help those with less, and want to see critically important changes in their culture sooner rather than later. Conservatives are the brakes; liberal/progressives are the accelerator. My personal vehicle has both systems on board.
