Let's thrive, not just survive 

I have a distrust of whoever is in power. Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, I don’t trust any of them with the power they constantly wrestle for. At this moment I lean toward the conservative side, simply because I’m currently watching a liberal power base take liberties with my liberties. However one thing that has become clear to me over my lifetime is the brilliance of our forefathers in the creation of this republic in which we live. Despite all the selfish, self-centered interests that want to manipulate it into their own design, it still survives.
