Is our only choice for President really a spoiled brat billionaire or a grouchy old man who thinks everyone can get everything for free? I had really hoped we could do better. I live in the middle. Our country and our politics and our society are polarized left or right; liberal or conservative. How can we ever hope to find any semblance of the truth? I stand by my word that the top candidates are ridiculously one sided. It is my right to have and voice my opinion. If anyone wants to discuss the finer attributes of either candidate or party, kindly do it on your own page not mine. It's a pity that everywhere I look, we have such narrow minded leaders. We should demand better.
It is no wonder unscrupulous foreign governments want Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders to be the U.S. President. Neither one has a grasp of democracy. One is authoritarian and one is a socialist. They picked your candidates for you. Shouldn't we pick our own candidates who can see the bigger picture?

The USA is not a Dictatorship
If we had no laws to prevent it, the U.S.A. would have a dictator right now. It's scary how close it has already come to that.

Leave Negativity Behind
As much as I might like to, I can't change the past. I can, however, shape the future. One of the best ways to do that, may be to leave the past in the past. Bringing up negative emotions from long ago can be very destructive.

Parents Stay Out of Children's Competition
I think that maybe when a kid is in a contest, and the parent gets too involved, maybe it's not very fun for the kid anymore. Even if the kid doesn't win, maybe it's better to let them try without the parent taking over. That's just my opinion. But I'm not trained in child education or psychology...
Respect the Dead Without Harming the Living
Given the choice between doing what's best for living children and forcing the practice of ancient, ineffectual funeral obligations on them (into adulthood), I choose in favor of the living.

Hmong Funeral Should Change
Having married a Hmong woman, I realize that the culture is very important to them. However, there are certain things that should be changed and stopped forever. These include, having multiple wives, selling daughters for $5,000 to their prospective husband's family, and 3-day funerals; which are often 4-day funerals--which involve sacrificing and processing numerous chickens, pigs and cows. I have seen how wasteful, expensive and stressful these are (for the living). I think the money could be much better spent putting children through college. Instead, tens of thousands of dollars are spent putting on lavish 24-hour funerals where mourners attend sometimes 24 hours a day. I have had to personally represent my wife since she is a woman; when she gives money to a funeral (due to the male dominated culture). Most recently this included downing 5 shots of alcohol at 8:30am. Now, as I write this at 4:18am, my wife has not yet returned from the overnight rituals. Sorry if I'm being culturally insensitive, but these ancient ceremonies need some serious updating. Some of the younger Hmong people need to do it; to free their children from this wasteful, horrible, obligation imposed upon the living.
