The founding fathers never intended career politicians.  IMO that was one fatal flaw in not putting term limits in the constitution.  But at that point in time the intent was the states would control the majority of the government with the federal government taking a minor role.

  At this point, it's too far gone.

The FF also did not intend on everyone voting.

I agree with the FF on this.  Voters need skin in the game.

I can say that I have tried to raise my kids correctly.  Door courtesy is part of it.

For years, I pointed at the door when we were walking for him to open it for not only our family, but the group coming in behind us. 

He does it most of the time.  I try to stress that it is an all the time task.

He is 18 and my daughter is 11.  He has now started instructing our daughter to do the same. 

She is starting to do it when he is not around. 

I notice that it happens at restaurants more on Sundays with other kids. 

Maybe there is hope.........

You had FEDEX deliver sod?   

You probably pay for full service 100LL and do not use the fuel farm like us poor folk.

They blew the hell out of that snack bar!

Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spied survivors of a sunken ship. "Follow me son" the father shark said to the son shark and they swam to the mass of people.

"First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing." And they did.

"Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing." And they did.

"Now we eat everybody." And they did.

When they were both gorged, the son asked, "Dad, why didn't we just Eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around them?" His wise father replied, "Because they taste better after you scare the crap out of them."

Too soon?
