Things will change, people aren’t dumb

There are many young people that aren’t following the “rules”’ and voting Democrat. As the older left wingers die off and the young people decide living with your hand out is not for them, things will change.

I blog, talk to people and do volunteer work. My views are simple — Americans are not socialists and those that are willing to work for a living and care about their families will win out in the end. Patience and education (something that needs work here) will shift the tide.

The people here are not dumb, they are in a rut and need help to dig themselves out of it. It’s the job of those of us that are successful today to provide the guidance needed to cut the umbilical cord to “entitlements” and the corruption of which the Democrats are so proud. There is hope, I for one will not give up.

Put names to those DUIs arrests

Every week there’s an article that states the number of drivers arrested for driving under theinfluence of an intoxicant, but their identities are not released. Maybe it would inhibit folks to drive under the influence if they know public shaming is also a consequence.

It’s worth a try if it could possibly reduce the numbers.
