I’m experimenting with this as a spiritual practice:
Leave early, drive under the speed limit, use your turn signals, ignore the tailgaters, give nobody the finger, enjoy the drive.
Try it. You’ll like it.

Do you really want people who can’t be bothered to vote to chose our next president? Your next governor? Your mayor or city councilor?
Do you think every person of voting age should be required to vote by law?
I truly believe the majority of human beings want a better world and aren’t voting for it

The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K

It turns out compulsive lying, shutting government down, denying people health care and taking food from the working poor doesn’t always make you and your friends popular at the ballot box.
