Be Pro-active with Your Children's Education

Parents have a duty to providing a fundamental foundation to their children's education. Parents need an engendered sense of wanting to their children to know how to read and do basic math before their children enter school. At the very least, they should be aiming for their child being able to read and do basic math prior being sent off to school. 

Then parents need to teach their children to respect their teachers and classmates. That will cure most ills seen in the public school system. Enabling our country to have one of the best education systems in the world.

If you are unwilling to make this basic commitment, don't have children. 

Economic Stimulus & Energy Efficiency

Imagine if the government made LEED more accessible to the lower rung of the economic ladder. If say, a non-LEED home sells for $100k, but with $30k of updates the home could be LEED.

However, the home-buyer can only afford the former home. A program could be created where the government owns a slice of that home, the $30k slice. Then all new build homes could be LEED. So when the home is sold, the government would get its money back or could allow the next buyer the option of the government to retain that same slice. No need for interest charges on the $30k, as it would already be made back by increased economic activity.

Drug Disposal and Cleaner Waterways

What about a seven (7) cent tax on Prescriptions & OTC Medications to fund Clean Water? Long advised and wrongly so, Prescriptions/Medications have been flushed down toilets and/or leach out septic systems & landfills. These actions have documented negative affects on our waterways & biological creatures.

Actually, all I want is a new program, could be state ran, what do I care who's in control of it. Simply put; install collection barrels in Pharmacies for incineration of all unused Pharmaceuticals, Prescription or otherwise. Though, seven (7) cents a Script & OTC medications would fully fund it.

Part of the message sent to both Senator Brown and Senator Portman, about once per year, updated annually.

5. Kennedy
6. Clinton
7. Carter

To the Filth, Disparaging the Disabled & Impaired

Take your reckless hate elsewhere.

These individuals are of the highest order, in this country or anywhere else. So what if they were born with a significant impairment be physical or mental. Just because they don't function in a way you consider ideal, does not in anyway define their character.

You want to see the best this country has to offer, step inside any special needs classroom across this country.

If perhaps, you run across an impaired individual, who is seemingly filled with hate and uncontrollable aggression, that lost soul was mostly destroyed by savage barbarians' reckless hate and abuse wholly unfit to share your Oxygen.

Sir, don't you dare make another such disparaging remark the remainder of your life.

Pope Francis: Flow the Message, Not the Man

Let this man lead you to new found inspiration, unshackling your long captive progressive passion. I am no advocate for anyone to pursue a path to the church (any church), religion, Gods, Idols nor worship, rather I feel it in your interest to dissuade you from pursuing them. Instead, embrace the message from the strongest voice willing to offer a left of center message, in generations.

Humans can fail and/or be torn apart by opposition. Allowing yourself to put 'faith' in others can leave you dispirited and dejected. Don't put your trust in him, assume he is not not going to follow through.

Encourage him to go further, take action, and beyond. Lend your support to the message.

Too Many People, Change the Tax Code!

Dear Senator Portman & Brown (each prefaced with only appropriate name)

Please fix the Tax Code, so no longer will the United States (US) Government promote its citizens breed children as if we are cattle. The US has too many people, action needs to be taken, our resources are stretching thin.

Within the next 100 years, life expectancy could exceed 150 years. The future holds an untold bounty of technological advances, in addition technology within reach of many of our lifetimes. These are not limited to: micro-scale DNA repairing robots, growing replacement organs, stem-cell organ regeneration ...

People right now need to limit themselves to having a single child, so as to have a world unburdened by unsustainable population growth rates. We need birth control, now more than ever.

So please end the deduction for children. I understand existing families with children will need to be grandfathered.
