In the arena for getting away from the use of fossil fuel we could use natural geothermal power from areas around YellowStone to produce power without interfering with the park. The same is true of the ring of fire as well as that burning coal mine in Penn State. Why no one has not taken advantage of that opportunity is just nuts. That town had to have water mains and sewer systems in place and those would make great beginnings to a power system.

   Another issue that is major at present is homelessness. We have places that are sitting empty that could be used to house people on sections of military installations across this nation. It would take some effort to make those places be separated from the rest of the post if that is the way the installation is set up. Other places are open and it would not require that sort of rearrangement. Many of the buildings have dining facilities in them that would need to be manned to feed the people living there, and that could provide work for some of the residents. There are positive means to solve problems. We just need to look for them and then put the effort into doing something about it..

  There are over a million homeless children in this country and the question has to be why? Is this the result of separating children from their parents at the border when they tried to enter and gain asylum or some other cause? Regardless the reason the answer is not sitting on our hands and wondering what someone else is going to do about it.

  Gun violence, drug problems, racial issues, fights and tension over life style differences Each problem is solvable or resolvable with the use of common sense and some common compassion for our fellow humans. There is a contingent of our citizens that use the Constitution to move negative agendas forward. Gun violence is at an all time high because ownership of guns and poor regulation and no training are really primary causes for the problems. Correct interpretation of the order would limit the type and number of weapons that could be on the streets, as it stands a corrupt Supreme Court has been allowed to be bribed to allow the gun lobby to place weapons in the hands of any fool that wants one or more and shoot up whatever venu they see fit.

  Drugs are a big issue as well. People are ill, or in pain or believe themselves to be in pain, and because normal medications cost more than illegal ones guess which one they prefer to take. Of course they tend to take far more than is needed, it makes them feel so good, and they have a little booze with it, even better, and well the entire thing is just a bucket of crap. To keep it all in perspective you have to remember the little rhyme, “Candy’s dandy, but liquor’s quicker, and sex won’t rot your teeth.” Unlike meth of course.

  The wonderful Mr. Trump has promised to become a dictator if re-elected. If he does then is he going to have the same policy as the man from the Philippines, kill the drug dealers, all of them. Allow murder in open places, get rid of those with the odd life styles as well and carry the practice over to all that upset him in any way whatsoever.

Would love any thoughts on any of these topics.
