Rules to keep in mind, live by

1) Always say and write the exact truth which is based on verifiable facts. That works best on a personal level, and the world we live in would be a better place with more honest people in it.

2) Have unlimited compassion for others. Not only for the groups, clubs, organizations, or cliques which you belong to.

3) The world is constantly changing. Some changes occur faster than others. It is futile to expect the U. S. government to ever to anything quickly.

4) Tens of thousands of people gather on the southern border of four states wanting to enter to immigrate, or for asylum. The nations they start from are often hell for minorities, and the poor to live in. Europeans have similar problem. No welcome mat out.
