A Pioneer's hopes

  IT'S NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK and I can hear the words of President Kennedy."I read more and enjoy it less." I wrote this last year: Newspapers are vital information to the citizen,to the local and state governments.It's vital to the President of the United States and the fed govt. And although we read more and enjoy less of the news by the newspapers as JFK sometimes did and that was because of the articles that were about him they don't always intentionally give us bad news.The world does that on its own.They just report it. They report on every administration,the policies and where the country is succeeding and failing.Personal opinions are involved but they also have a section for the citizen.TO THE EDITOR where our opinions are printed. Newspapers,regardless of how bias we may see the media can be at times,I do not think they are the enemy of the people.We all including them get caught in the political dismay where reason sees none and arguments and hate eme

  "We can draw lessons from the past,but we cannot live in it." President Lyndon B. Johnson.  Learning and looking ahead makes a journey lessonable and rewarding. For the past is filled with mistakes as well as successes. And both are equally vital in learning in order to see the hopes of tomorrow.  If we fail to learn and understand the past we end up living in it. For it keeps repeating.  And if it keeps repeating, the worse it gets. So let us draw where the lessons are learned, teach where it's never repeated  so that we live for today and not yesterday.  And when we live for today. Tomorrow won't be so uncertain.  We shall overcome when we learn.And in each of us from family, education, community, faith and work ethics,we will be strong in each and our society will be great.  For a dream that is built by us all is a frontier we will accomplish together and America will be the promise we know it can be. So let us learn in order to see.
