This weekend we will celebrate a group of individuals who believed otherwise, and because of the ideals they held , you and i are able to live in the greatest country in the world.I realize this is a little heavy for a typical post on TOTV, but not to TV's who served in our military and the rest of us who are always asking WHY !  |
Since you quoted me in your post (Kool aid) I feel I should respond. I used the expression in the spirit of this thread, which I feel was light-hearted until it was hijacked.
I was a military man thanks to Uncle Sam's forced invitation in the 60's. I have experienced organizations and developments that were not operated efficiently, one being a condo association that ran in a hundred different directions.
When I visited the Villages, I experienced a well run machine and happy people. What more do I need? If I feel that I still have the desire to change the world, I would stay where I am and participate in the political process but my time on earth is getting precious so I will leave the world-changing to the next generation.
Little hint for you. My wife has been after me to temper my "pet-peeves". (I still have a few, but I find that counting to 100 and thinking nice thoughts help alot)
