Dan: Don't mean to go political on ya, but sounds a little like "MAGA". :o) However: Better is in the eye of the beholder. The raccoon that eats on our deck lives in the storm sewer. He must feel that is "better" than a tree. :o) As always, enjoyed your sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

Most of the people in power look after themselves and are looking for ways to enhance their fortune. Others are losers looking for ways to cheat anyone they can.

The world does need a lot better - did you mean better leaders?? Interesting thought that lack of power leads to corruption. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
