It seems that everyone wants something, which is human nature. Except now, a large number want what they want even if causes everyone else to suffer. You may have seen the video of a young woman crying and shouting about Trump’s election - "This is my America." As if it belongs to her alone. People are separated from reality.
Okay, let me tell you what I want, but bear in mind that I am an old white male with common sense which means I have no rights to anything. First, I want peace among the people of this country. A nation divided cannot stand and without everyone pulling in one direction for the good of the country, there will be no peace.
I want criminals severely punished so that no one lives in fear. I want people to behave in a civilized manner with respect for each other.
Next, I want an education system that works. One that teaches English, math, science, history and not social engineering. Without education, every child grows up to be a slave to something or somebody.
This nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian beliefs. I want those beliefs to rule again, bearing in mind that everyone has the freedom of religion, but these principles guide a republic to success.
I want people to be responsible for themselves and to the country. Those that can but will not work, will have to work or have not.
My last want seems impossible, but I want it anyway. I want an honest government. Take a look again at my previous wants and you will see the path that leads to honest government.
You and I are the government. If we are honest we can make our elected officials honest.
