There are some many tasks that can be done to improve this country, increase jobs and make life better for the average American. This country is amazing, full of potential and talent, yet people suffer and go without. We give up on voting and thinking that we can make a difference or that these we voted for, give a damn about us! We despair though we hope for change and a better life. It is horrible that our pay does not get us as much as it used to and saving is so difficult. Yes, we are in difficult times and there is a ray of sun peaking through the clouds , but there is despair. Please continue to make a difference.
Here is my response to the proposed pipeline that may and should be built through North America.
Why are the easiest solutions the most controversial or the most costly, or, disregarded? A pipeline from Canada to Mexico in the muddle of all three countries, is proposed to be build. The worry is, that the environment will suffer. Two pluses would be more jobs and less dependence on foreign oil, as hopefully, the fuels would be refined and used in American cars, homes etc...It's possible the pipeline will not be built because people are concerned about long term effects on the environment. I offer two solutions: First, make sure the companies involved in building the pipeline adhere to environmental guidelines and laws in place in these countries. Plant trees, move animals...Secondly, INVEST IN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES!!! Build more wind turbines, solar power panels, desalinization plants to convert sea into fresh water. Invest in the future and the present. Create jobs, and decrease COLA; the cost of living for everyday items.
Do not give up hope. Do your part, write your blogs, write your congressmen and women and senators and the President, as it is our write and duty to do so;) Be well and do not despair. www.thelionshares.com
