Darrell, you have an interesting, and wholly unique theory on inward and outward. Particularly in these examples, where our greatest loss of life occured.
2. We are speaking of the job of civil servant, not idol.
3. I did use the word Control, not Cure, yes? How difficult is it to track his physical activity? His mental output needs translated anyway.
4. Here is the rub between us. When my hands were giving me pain, I tried to express one aspect of what FDR did to/for the country. The Federal Government has become so insinuated into everyday, everyman's life that the pre-FDR expectations of 'you [G] do your thing, I'll do mine' no longer hold for the leader of the Federal Government. Instead, [like it or not] we are a whole, with give and take between people and government more like a family. [Excuse the exaggeration for simplicity in posting.] The role of President has changed to interpreter for the wants, needs, and priorities of the citizen's. Otherwise, special interests get the say. This role is not well suited to one not under some degree of dementia. Clinton may be a rough prototype, but his model will return. Better, I hope; and without our distractions. |
