There is so much noise in our criticism toward those who hold different views than us that we are missing some great opportunities. Immigration reform, climate and energy advances as well as ways to raise the level of education from cradle to grave are within our grasp. Instead of the constant labeling and shouting each other down what if we focus on four or five issues that will launch us into a new era of great success. Going backward has never worked before and it won’t work now. We need not wait for the,status quo brokers to move on these great opportunities. Each of us can do some part for our children and grandchildren. Legacy is not confined solely to the powerful but resides in each human being.
