I worked for five years in local politics as Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Baton Rouge while W. W. Dumas was Mayor. I have seen the best and worst in politics on all levels. After 5 years, I chose to change professions because of the evidence of individual greed and dishonesty by many (not all) politicians. I COULD NOT CHANGE THIS!.
Also, I was drafted during World War II and was trained to hate and kill our enemies, Germans and Japanese, for the atrocities they committed against all mankind. I COULD NOT CHANGE THIS!
Just the mention of concentration camps and the holocaust enrages me to this day. I CANNOT CHANGE THIS!
This is why I am offended by most political discourses -
IF I CANNOT CHANGE THE PROBLEM, all I can do is cast my one vote at each and every election for whomever I think is best qualified for the office.
I SHALL NEVER CRITICIZE, CONDEMN, OR COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR GOVERNMENT, UNLESS I HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THANK GOD WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE WE CAN DO THIS!
