Indeed, there have been much worse times, and we have that cloud of witnesses to show us the way through.<br />Kris -- yes, humor is a great tool, and a great strategy for maintaining sanity!Les Honhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412507043700327345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325755708695239888.post-75705996039108699302013-11-10T08:15:58.242-08:002013-11-10T08:15:58.242-08:00Thank you for your passion and commitment.

Instead I will work to find the humor in what I know to be truth over fiction. The truth is always funnier than fiction and has a greater potential to draw people to it. In that way I trust that the people around myself and others will not only gain humor in their lives, but a greater understanding of the fools in charge.Kris Haltermanhttp://www.smllibertyroad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325755708695239888.post-45413830655105879262013-11-08T11:43:33.636-08:002013-11-08T11:43:33.636-08:00I never give up hope, there is a mechanism imbued ...I never give up hope, there is a mechanism imbued in my brain that things will get better. I have seen it in my own life when we immigrated from the Netherlands in 1954.We settled in the Yakima Valley and our net worth was our family and $.25. With the friends we made and met through Church we made it through the hard times.My parents had made it through the Depression and the horrible Nazi occupation and that is hundreds of times worse to me than the the present political situation. The pendulum will swing, term limits will be invoked, bureaucrats will be reduced because there is no money to pay their pensions.etc. I have run for office 5 times, not elected-I'm conservative, however the initiatives and referendums I led all won. Bottom line we are too silent and apparently our oxe has not been gored enough. Likewise, the sun will continue to come up!John Kolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325755708695239888.post-25518639884977816002013-11-07T14:25:40.372-08:002013-11-07T14:25:40.372-08:00I feel your pain...so disappointing.
