OK, let me get this straight. You want to increase the age to purchase cigarettes to 21 because they’re so bad but, yet, on the other hand, you want to make marijuana legal?

I think I found out the problem with Washington, D.C., and our government. It’s one simple word: politicians. You see, we don’t have people representing us. We have politicians, and politicians only think of one thing — themselves. What can they do to make themselves rich? Who do they have to influence to make themselves rich? What kind of deals can they make in Washington to set somebody up with a contract or something else of that nature to make themselves rich? That’s what’s wrong with Washington – politicians. Now, if we get rid of the politicians and get normal people in there like you and I and your neighbors, we might succeed in being successful. Otherwise, we don’t have a chance.
I want to thank the manager at a local Food 4 Less store for recently opening up the other aisles. Normally most managers just sit there and watch everybody wait and wait and wait. He saw that the “15 items or less” were not moving and they were open so he let us with 17 or 20 items go there. I really appreciate it and it shows that some people do care and do their job. Thank you very much.
I can give you one reason that makes people so hateful. It’s other people.
