COMPLACENCY
AND ITS EFFECT ON YOU AND ME
We have some elections coming up. The next one will be
for a Mayor and some Councilmen in Forest Park. Since I
live in Forest Park. I am interested in the election. The main
thing that I am interested in is not a particular candidate
so much as getting every one to go vote.
Don't just vote for a candidate because you think maybe
he will win. In other words don't vote just to be with the
crowd. Find out what the man stands for. Has he promised
a lot of things that can't be done? Ilas he told one group one
thing and another group another story? Figure out his good
points and his shortcomings, if he has been in office before.
Does he think he is the servant or Master of the people?
Be man or woman enough to vote for the man you think
will get the job done. This may not be the man you like best.
He may not be the best hand shaker or back slapper.
What we want is not a hand shaker or back slapper, but
men realizing it’s our money and our business they are ad
ministering. However your government is no better than the
people who vote them in. There are a lot of competent men
who would have been in office today, if the people had went
to the polls and voted his own conviction instead of standing
around the polis trying to wait for a winner.
If the man I think, not what Joe Blow thinks, is the best
man according to the best of my judgment, that's the man
I'm going to vote for. If every voter would adhere to that rule
shortly you would see servants of the people in office, instead
of masters exerting their authority. You would have men
respecting your authority, because he can’t carry your vote
in his vest pocket.
I was born drunk on ignorance and staggering for the like
of sense, but I'll be darn if I ain't going to be stubborn to
relapse with it.

“Every day is a fresh beginning. Every mom
makes the world anew."
The courage to face life and reality is the complete answer
to Peace of ivynd.
When one KNOWS that the Cup of Life contains sweet
as well as bitter liquids, and one fortifies one’s self with that
knowledge, then the sweet becomes sweeter and the bitter
is not quite so bitter ... for he or she is prepared for that
sour taste. That’s how simple all life is.
Every day should be a day of great Thankfulness.’Grateful
to be able to see and feel and think. Grateful to be in a posi
tion to sympathize with others knowing full well that others
are worse off than we. Try this little bit of philosophy and
see how much joy this attitude brings.
