I'd like to get the year started off on the right foot. So, first of all, I’m asking all my readers to join with me in accepting the fact that it took many years for our country to get in the mess that it’s in and it’s going to take many years for us to get out of it. If we need somebody to blame for letting it happen, then we can point the finger at ourselves, because the Founding Fathers created this nation to be governed by “we the people.”
