Thanksgiving Soap Box!

     In recent days and this last week or so, there have been multiple posts on social media sites about Thanksgiving.  I as much as anyone else think the holidays are for spending time with families.  I believe in big dinners, games, conversations and even an adult beverage to tolerate those "family" members that work our last nerves.      The term Black Friday has been around for a long time (click link for more info.)  People have been going and shopping to save money for years. Retailers love this time of year because for a lot of them, it can mean staying open versus closing the doors.  Mom and Pop stores are the ones that over the years has been hit the hardest due to larger big box retailers moving into all areas of the country.      Criticism has also been put on some retailers for opening their doors on Thanksgiving Day.  People feel that workers should be allowed to spend time with their family.  O...

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, " Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either. " We all should take a look at the people in our lives, community, and even country to see who we can trust and who should be in control.       One of the greatest powers we hold as American citizens, is we hold the power to the country.  The founding fathers had faith in the people to make the right choices and to know what is best for this country.  Letting the government control so many aspects of our lives has not worked up to this point.        Our country was not founded on people wanting to make it the same for everyone. They found it and it has succeeded on p...
