Nobody wants to “discuss” politics with anybody. It is only argued about. If you disagree with me, then you are evil, and vice-versa. If liberal left people were behind the movie “Sound of Freedom” than Hollywood, Disney, The View, etc. would have been raving about how it is the odds-on favorite for the Oscars. As it is now, the liberals hate it.

Several weeks ago, some very good friends of mine said that all politicians lie. I took exception to that. I have known several friends and acquaintances that were in government. I believe they were God-fearing, church-going, Christian-like folk. A few years ago, someone very close to me was delivering the opening prayer in Lansing for the state Legislature. He was invited to a Bible study while in Lansing. A Bible study begun by elected officials talking about the Bible.

Tom Casperson was a local Escanaba High School graduate; husband, father, senator, congressman, died from cancer. Gone way too soon. Those of us who knew him, and his family, know that he was not a liar. I have gotten to know Sharon and Mitch Varnum very well in the past couple of decades. Sharon was Charles Varnum’s wife and Mitch, their son. I don’t believe there is a more honest family. Chuck and Sharon were in politics most of his life. He passed away years ago.

If you want to talk about those currently “in charge” then I have serious reservations. When folks are confronted with the current situation, they either change the subject or deflect blame.

The sad part is that a lot of people just don’t care. Some didn’t vote, some have never voted, and actually “wear that they didn’t vote” as a badge of honor.

If you have a bundle in the bank, retired and set for life, I guess you don’t care. I do. I am going to continue to do what I can to heal the world, and make it a better place!
