Weekend full of politics – run away! run away!
We ended up having a lively discussion over the weekend with the family on the state of the nation and best direction for our country. Not exactly weight loss, I know. But it is far more interesting most of the time – especially right before the election.
So this is what I am thinking at this point. I may dedicate this week to different issues we face this election and most on that instead of weight loss all week. I doubt there will be many complaints.
Let me just say up front I’m not exactly a liberal, nor am I a conservative. I’d like to consider myself a thinker. So just be forewarned that some of the posts will be lengthy. They will not pull from any rhetoric. It will be simple facts (in so far as anyone can claim simplicity to issue – historical or modern). Some of the conclusions that I will draw may not be to everyone’s likings, but I welcome the debate.
I’m just letting you know upfront:)
- Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
- John Adams, ‘Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials,’ December 1770
US diplomat & politician (1735 – 1826)
I will post on the following topics. Read them at your own peril.
Big Problems: Problems that can/will immediately destroy our nation
- Economics

Moderate Problems: Problems that could destroy the nation – or at least cause lots of internal strife

Minor Problems: May become major issues, but in the next 4 years not likely
