The
leadership of this country needs to focus on creating opportunities
for all, not safety nets for all.
We need to elect leaders who promote personal responsibility and who
represent their constituents rather than promoting themselves and
representing their party.
Finding them will be like finding needles in a haystack.

Frankly it's probably impossible without some major readjustments to
our attitudes, media and political system. There's a lot that is
broken right now. It didn't happen quickly and it's not likely to
get fixed quickly either. We have a major leadership gap, and in the
present environment there's not much incentive for the right people to
step forward. No matter how talented and suited for the job, how
many people want to see their reputations, families, friends and
professional associates dragged through the mud?
My biggest concern is that change will come about through some sort of
cataclysmic event like a great depression, world war, massive social
unrest or some other large scale upheaval. When the population
becomes irreparably divided it usually takes something like that to
bring people back together again.
Perhaps if we elect a person of integrity to LEAD this country, others
will follow.
