PRINCIPLES MUST GUIDE POLICIES...

Principle, not simply policy, is needed for real leadership. The government is forging ahead with an abundance of policies and a deficit of moral principles. Change for the sake of change is foolish and often reactionary. One of the greatest gifts we, as humans, have is the ability to reason and thoughtfully choose our actions. We are able to make intelligent decisions with an understanding of future consequences. Animals act out of instinct, not intellect and will, as human beings do (or should). It does not take much discernment to realize that, as a country, we are prematurely spending our precious resources with audacity. This undoubtedly will result in painful consequences for generations to come. Our government is recklessly squandering our hard earned tax dollars, brashly moving forward with policies not worthy of a republic and arrogantly disposing of the greatest hope for our future- human life at its very beginning. Our 12 yr old son, a type 1 diabetic himself, put it this way: “Mom, I don’t want a life ended so that my disease can be cured”. Our young have a way of expressing the truth, with clarity and simplicity. Maybe we should lower the age for those holding government office!
