Can we still put our trust in the people that run our lives. by graham Lear

I shudder to think what would be found if a similar investigation were done on members of the US Congress and their 'travel' expenses. Don't you know that good old American politicians charge room service for meals and drink up the mini-bars and then we taxpayers get the tab? I don't know if MPs get to add the equivalent of "turkey's" to the UK budget but that is the way most American politicians line their pockets. One of our high muckety mucks down here in Florida got a line item in the state budget for a university to spend money turning an airplane hanger into a classroom and in return got a job working for the university as a high paid professor in a time when classroom teachers are being let go (made redundant). Fortunately the truth came out and investigations are being undertaken and the job offer has been taken off the table, but still that it COULD be done is noteworthy. Now from an American point of view, I thought all MPs had moats??

Open discussion: What are the signs of Spring Fever? by Julia Schrenkler

The flower buds appear way too soon for their own good these days, teased by the climate changes that are not really taking place (according to GB) but they signal that Spring is not far away. Then the pine trees unleash their yellow rain upon the cars, the wooden porch, the leaves that still are upon the ground. The squirrels that denned under my porch eave and had delighted the cat by scampering along the porch railing as if to tease him (as he sat behind the glass on the window sill) have now gone off to forage in the trees and sleep in a newly constructed bed in the crook of the neighbors oak. And my little tomato and pepper seedlings are longing to be in the ground instead of their bedding flats and finally, I think the last cold night has come. These are all signs of Spring in my neck of the woods in Florida.

Simply a great article to let us know about your life and how you have reached out and put your own needs aside to serve others. There are many who post on Gather that have many words but few actions, nice to see someone with actions that match up to the words they have shared.

Can we judge anyone by the company they keep? I thought we are responsible for our own actions?

Wow, Barb, time for a mental vacation, you cannot keep up at this pace. Better take that letter of reference and make it your own and get a few resume's out there.... ouch.

I am not running for any office, but I would gladly act in the best interest of my constituents based on my own judgement. My understanding is that the founding Fathers (and Mothers who actually ran things behind the scenes) believed in a Republic which was a representative Democracy. You put someone into power and they act as best as they can. So a vote for me is a a vote for what I think is best. Paid for by the Committee to NOT elect ME.
