Let us hope we have grown mentally enough to be able to avoid another revolt and still be able to bring the rich into an understanding that their practices are divisive.

Impeachment because I am an American is an excellent reason for it to occur. Someone stated that it will take generations to repair his actions. I do not agree . anything that has been done in the time period he has been in power can be corrected in the same period if the democrats are smart enough to take the proper action and listen to the people instead of the corporations and they will successfully retain power if they do this.

What does having a master's degree mean in USA today?

Marine comments on Aug 6, 2018:

The entire education system needs to be changed drastically. We need more tech schools to handle those who do not go to college. College needs to train people to step into a job and be ready to produce immediately. The idea of BA BS Masters PHD need to reflect the immediate need of the job market than it currently does. To go with this is the need to revise the courses taught and there value regarding the degree earned.I was required to take another language for my degree but I have never used it and it was just a waste of time.

Marine comments on Aug 7, 2018:

Any constitution should protect everyone equally not just the ones with power. To learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not permitted to criticize Those who consider themselves to smart to take part in government will find themselves governed by the dumb. The greatest tension in any state is the mutual resentment between the rich and poor. Therefore a strong, stable middle class provides the glue to a strong stable government.

I can say it was not easy as there are many things I would do differently looking back but one does not have that option and to stew over them accomplishes nothing but grief.so, I have learned to look on the bright side and at the things that have worked out well like my family ,retirement, friends, and grandchildren.

Should you live for today?

Marine comments on Apr 10, 2018:

The fool does not save for tomorrow but you should live every day for it's fullest because you never know what lies around the cornner. Many get get caught up in the negative things of the day and do not make an effort to place them in perspective. What is the worse thing that could happen? Once they establish that they should be able to come up with alternatives and set the problems to rest instead of worring about them. I learned this to late in life and wish I had gained this knowledge earlier.
