We,
as a country, are being pulled apart by politics. Instead of racism being black and white, it’s
now red, blue and Tea Party, Republican, Democrat, Conservative Christian,
Atheist, and Muslim.
Why
are we allowing this?
As
Patrick Henry said in 1799, “United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split
into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence
hangs.” No matter what your “color”,
religious or political belief, we must come back together. We need to return to our “roots” of
tolerance.
No
matter what your background or how you see yourself, we all agree on some basic
tenets we all learned in kindergarten:
·
Play fairly
·
Share
·
Don’t lie or cheat
·
Don’t push
·
Wait your turn
·
If someone falls down, help them up.
·
Don’t take things that aren’t yours
·
Not everyone is going to agree with you.
·
Just because someone doesn’t agree with you doesn’t mean you should
“convince” them of the rightness of your views.
·
Be nice and courteous.
We
should consider these items whenever we make a law. We shouldn’t consider what we, personally, will
get out of the law, what perks, conveniences, kickbacks or power, rather that
the law is just, equal and right.
It’s
just that: Simple. Just. Equal. Right.
Let
our legislators know that we will not tolerate any more shenanigans. We want them to behave as the adults we
expect them to be. We want them to pass laws that are simple, just, equal and
right.
Let
the candidates know that we will not support them if they are not going to
listen to our mantra: Simple, Just, Equal and Right.
Let
the world know that the Unites States embraces everyone. Listens to everyone. And want a government
that is:
simple, just,
equal and right.
