I agree with the tone of sentiment you've expressed. The only thing I would add as food for thought is that a persons character and leadership determines (to a large extent) whether getting any of the things you cited done is possible. When you have a person who is divisive, untrustworthy as well as a liar, it effects the environment around which meaningful change will occur. Such was and is the case in regard to our current administration. Leaders listen to the voices of the people and the values they cherish. Then energize and facilitate the flowering of ideas within that cultural foundation. When leadership is disconnected with the mores of the culture, engendering followship becomes extremely difficult. The impeachment episode was a reflection of that disconnection. Michael

I DON'T CARE. I only care about important issues. I am sure there are many of the same opinion. Good morning, Tazio. I was just reading over your list of important issues. If you don't mind, is this a list of what would benefit you personally or what you think is most important for the country or what you think most people want or what? Regarding the 51st state, when you first mentioned it, I thought you were kidding. A while back when Canada seemed to be coming apart at the seams over Quebec, there was chatter about a couple of provinces becoming states. But I never heard anyone suggest Mexico before. It's hard to imagine that any sovereign country, with states of its own, would want to become a state of another sovereign country no matter how dire its situation. I haven't spent significant time in Mexico in a very long time. All I know is what I read in the biased mainstream media. But I thought things were improving in Mexico in terms of a growing middle class and a reduction in corruption. Is that not so? Karen
