We used to enjoy reading a book or listening to the radio for entertainment. Visuals were left to the imagination. With the advent of television and, more recently, computers, we have images of everything. And they come at us faster and faster. When I stopped imagining, life didn't become more exciting, it became more predictable and less enjoyable. I found my groove when I started writing and I will never stop day dreaming again. I am amazed what I can conjure up, even though I can't remember names, places or simple words I use everyday.

Why are we all in such a hurry? We are living longer, so rushing isn't as necessary as it used to be. If anyone should have rushed it was the framers of the Constitution, who had life spans shorter than some major league ballplayers' careers. Yet they took their time and got it right. The old saying "haste makes waste" is truer today than ever. Speed is always secondary to excellence. There is always enough time, if we take it, to get it right.

We should demand that any major bill proposed by this president or any president be posted on the internet for a minimum of two weeks (not the 72 hours currently being considered), before Congress is allowed to vote on it. The waiting period would allow for the public to read and react to the proposed legislation. Remember we always have enough time, if we take it, to get it right.
