Idea Of The Day The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created--created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.

Hi Ike, It was rational destiny. If the media is unwilling to fully vet a candidate prior to an election then how can the people decide if that candidate is worthy? ...they can't! Also, how can that same media then be trusted to protect our interests through their vigilance (all of our interests not just one political party)? ...they won't! So, ...tell me, ...how can we trust the media to allow us to put another Democrat in the office of president? ;-) JEB
