With what seems to be mostly depicted as a messy world in the news, it is hard to get to the core of my original intent for this blog. That intent was HOPE. It was not a matter of hope for you but because of you. I do have faith in you and your generation once much of the media/internet quiets or becomes too transparent to stomach. Papa senses that the crazies are getting past their expiration dates and that common sense is set to seep back into our culture. One reason might be viewing a supposedly “educated” leader on television demonstrating on an issue. She was so over the top that it is easy to feel more damage than good was done for whatever cause she espoused. Yikes.
However, television has also presented a few opportunities to see fresh, younger politicians who also foster hope for the future. With U Tube, news outlets and C-SPAN video archives you can watch two men who give hope for their generation when ready to take the reins of leadership. If you get a chance look up Ro Khanna of California and Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin. They are members of the US House of Representatives and each appears familiar with common sense. (Papa’s political hope.) It appears that they are two guys who could get together and hammer out solutions to problems. That may sound like a pipe dream because our political parties each have some crazies in tow but mostly due to their “never give an inch” mentality that serves re-elections well. It may be slow in coming and I may not be alive to see the day but I can see each/both of them in higher office. Keep an eye on them.
