Evveryday we have choices. We can choose to enter the senseless and nonproductive bickering about Republican vs Democratic politics. We can choose to ignore our changing and challenging environments. We can choose to spend our dollars on education or protection or assimilation or any number of other choices. But that is part of the point. We do have choices. In many places on the planet we call Earth there are not choices available. Someone tells the many HOW, WHEN, WHY and IF something is to be done. Someone decides everything and there is often little public discourse. There is minimal participation by the masses in the daily decisions. The newspapers and media are controlled by those who have the power. The police are puppets for the powerful. The banking system is flawed and unfair.

What will we choose here that will continue to separate us from the places we purport to despise? Each choice will take us closer or move us farther away, but it is our choice. Each and every individual has a choice. What you choose in the short term may not be in your long term best interests. Simple!
