As with so much in our country, politics and greed is getting in the way. Those making money don’t want major changes in our life styles. To be truthful everyone in the middle class and above will find life style changes uncomfortable. Changes to address this global problem will have unwanted consequences for everyone. That doesn’t mean we have a blind spot and don’t try.
It means we need to open our eyes and start the discussion on how to best move forward.

How does a retired person, or at least a semi retired person go on vacation. Isn’t everyday a vacation day. Well, yes and no. Even in retirement life has everyday requirements. Doctors appointments become more numerous as we get older.
Staying in shape now becomes a required activity. And any activity which is part of retirement, now becomes part of a schedule. Time just fills up with all sorts of things to do.
Donald Trump’s view on lying. “If you say it long enough, hard enough, often enough, people will start to believe it.” This is why Donald Trump still repeats the “big lie.” He has to have people to continue to believe him, even with a huge body of evidence that it is a lie.

There can be little doubt that the events of Jan 6, 2020 were a direct attack to our democracy. The worst attack since the Civil War. On Jan 6, 2020 a riotous mob marched on the Capital in attempt to subvert the electoral process.

Today’s automatic weapons fire multiple shots in a matter of seconds. The writers of the constitution could not be expected to imagine this difference. They provided an amendment process in order to correct the constitution based on changes over time.
To think our founding fathers felt that everyone had a right to an automatic weapon which can fire 20+ rounds in less than a minute is just plan wrong. They could not have imagined the existence of such a weapon.
Republicans want to go back to the good ole days. Democrats advocate building a better future. Remembering the good ole days is important, but only through clear glasses which also see the imperfections.
