We are never going to fix the problems in the United States until We the People accept our governmental responsibilities. Washington is supposed to contain our representatives, not our rulers. Party split, at any cost, is not acceptable any more; not that it ever was. We, the citizens, should be civil to one another. Don't let Washington be your example.

Leading by Example By Franklin Price 11/11/2018 Leading by example Trickles down from high to low What goes on in Washington Is how we tend to go It's not a good example Of the way that we should be They don't care for one another Much less for you and me Wonder why so many shootings? From whence this thought is sent? It trickles down from Washington The Congress and the President When added to by media Makes us want to scream and shout Just another bad example Not what this country's all about Each of us can do our part To turn this mess around We can set our own examples To get our feet on solid ground Can become a good example To fill up the empty cup Reverse insider trickle down Let our good example trickle up

yup, the shit piles were around long before we were born...the average person dreams/creates up to seventy percent of their reality; the 'self' is our greatest blindspot...we dream reality which means we are always in some state or level of catatonia, or 'sleep'
