AMERICA-THE GOOD LIFE-Notes and thoughts on Lyndon B.Johnson. "Men come together in cities in order to live,but they remain together in order to live the good life." Aristotle. "Our society will never be great until our cities are great.Today the frontier of imagination and innovation is inside those cities and not beyond their borders."-President Lyndon B.Johnson 1964. He goes on: "It will be the task of your generation to make the American city a place where future generations will come,not only to live,but live the good life." LBJ. America should be living the good life.Our cities should be together to do so.Yet we have changed from seeing this vision to seeing a disruptive one. Where anger not understanding emerged.Where being a great country is offensive to being a society that rather riots and destroys things. President Johnson honestly sought a Great Society even thru the midst of a dark war. A great effective leader in the senate of getting thin...

WHATEVER YOU ARE,BE A GOOD ONE!
ABRAHAM LINCOLN used to say,"Whatever you are be a good one."And whatever that is for us we must have passion in it otherwise it's a waste if there's no effort in it. I HAVE PASSION as a writer and while I love writing my ambition to publish is not there and part of the reason is seeing the world what its becoming.My excuse is why bother if they won't listen and just criticize?All everyone does is attack each other,but this is also an excuse not to ride my passion in writing.I've had publishers contact me in the past but never did anything about it.The other part was money.I didn't have money to put towards their publishing to help print it.

Senator Lindsey Graham
On 7/12/26 learned of his passing at age 71. His last speech was working on a resolve to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He sounded ok. But an illness came upon him suddenly and next thing we know Sen. Lindsey Graham was gone. It was that quick he was taken from us. To be as a politician Sen. Graham was hot and cold. Sometimes he was there when you needed him and other times he wasn't. He'd either anger you or you would praise him. Now we've been talking term limits but his longevity I didn't mind because he unlike the others was serving country more than party. Although he was a party guy. But now I think with his passing we should we let him belong to the ages and let history decide where he was as a public servant. For me I criticized and praised him and I think as a good public servant you're going to get both in the times you served. My hope is he'll be remembered well as a good man and everything else is just a document of a career, b...
