Just a quick post.

From CNN:

The Florida 3rd District Court of Appeal upheld a trial court ruling that Florida's explicit ban was unconstitutional, noting that the state's adoption law required officials to assess potential adoptive parents in "the best interests of the child."

We were lucky enough to attend a family gathering over Memorial Day on the west coast of Florida. After the constant barrage of images from the Gulf, I thought I would share what we were fortunate enough to experience.

The media is showing us what we are fighting against, and I thought I might remind us what we are fighting for.

Not much else to say. I'll let Mother Nature do the rest:

No matter what we think in day to day issues, the big picture is that we care about our fellow man. May you all have peace and good will on this Christmas holiday, and may you always see the glass as half full.

I don't know about you, but it could happen to me in the blink of an eye. Please don't forget your local shelter.

This whole healthcare debate has caused me to think about a whole lot of things besides whether or not there should be a public option. The issue always takes me to the basic decision of every human being: to do good or not.

I haven't been able to crystalize all of my thoughts yet, but I know the direction in which I am headed.

So here are my thoughts. Feel free to add your own.

Please donate to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, Bush's presidential library.

I've been thinking about George Bush and his plans after he leaves Washington. Obviously, the next thing he'll focus on is the Presidential Library.

Congratulations to Hillary for a hard fought race.

I think it's now time to shift to the general election. Hopefully, we can all now unite behind the fact that this country cannot tolerate four more years of the past eight.

SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.
