Things We Cannot Do
“Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.” – Marcus Aurelius “

I came across this article and it seemed a clear explanation of some of the issues looming before our country as the presidential election draws near.

256

Regardless of the winner things that "we cannot do" ae likely to remain the same.

People will always think their answer to a problem is absolutely correct and their opponent's answer to the same problem is absolutely wrong.

But alas compromise - give a little to get a little (a lost art in U.S. government these days) is till the ultimate answer

Red Box Rules

Talk about the article not each other.

The article is not about Harris or Trump, Democrats or Republicans, but rather about the future of our country and what shape it will take.

Be civil

Have fun

Nothing.  They're not the best.  Noting to add to.

Sounds like something the robber barons might have written.

Really? Sounds like something Jefferson might have written to me.

I don't agree with these '5 best sentences' of 'things we cannot do'.

I think they are nonsense.

I agree with John.

A lot of wisdom in those five concepts.    Problem is, it seems fewer and fewer folks these days display that they have much wisdom.    Look no further than NTers for proof of that.
