I wholeheartedly agree with you. My problems, my challenges and ups and downs are mine....however, I see little of this personal responsibility. There is no room to grow and improve unless one accepts these responsibilities.

Very well said.

I agree with you. The lack of discipline is alarming. I see it everywhere, everyday and if one had discipline, they must defend themselves from those that do not. I also see people simply not taking a stand for what is right. As long as it isn't currently bothering them, they do not need to make a statement..

Thank you for a wonderful tribute to your dad and your self. I felt like you were speaking to me to forgive, something I do not do well. I am glad you had such a good dad; a great example to all of us. It is true how a stranger can touch others lives and not even know it.

I DID NOT vote for Brown or Boxer conservatives are rare in this state. It is time to leave but more difficult to do so now. This state is a mess and no one is on the horizon to LEAD.....part of a bigger plan maybe?

I have seen this too. Docs don't want private practice, they want to be owned by Kaiser or another like system. Docs used to lead healthcare, now they want a 9-5 job. We hired two new docs and after a year they left so they could leave at 530pm....this is where we are headed, a nation of wieners

Thank you, Mr.Elder , for finally putting the cards on the table. Many of us have seen all these issues; I cringe when I see what wieners we have become in this country. We have not demanded that this man, the POTUS, show us his credentials. What is wrong with us?

how would a dollar for dollar tax deduction reward healthy behavior? I am a nurse and know so many that do not care for themselves incurring their own health problems. A tax deduction would reward their behavior

Jan Brewer is progressive, aggressive and responsible. She is a true leader in politics, letting action speak loudly. I am not sure what you are referring to; she is leading this country via Arizona
