    Wow. I get this inconsiderate stuff all the time. Glad it is not just me.

    How to fix it is not in our ability, but this country has lost it's edge on dealing with people. Too much of a "me" attitude and I don't know how to deal with it.

    I guess that all I can do is influence the grandkids to the best of my ability to keep the true American spirit going.



    Way back when, some of my buddies came up with a mantra that was pretty good. "work as hard as you play, and play as hard as you work, and never interfere with anyone's ability to do the same"

    Those basic rules can go a looooong way.

    I should add that the other mantra we had was " you have the right to do with your body and property whatever you want without interfering with another's right to do the same. That is the real one that basically could replace all law if it were applied. Think about it.
