Intelligent Day...seems extremely fitting in lieu of current events in Our Country. If everyone at least ‘acted’ intelligent; then, there might not be such lawlessness today..,just a thought

Good morning Col Burroughs. Watch the news and you see how lacking that particular skill set seems to be these days. People allow and encourage action without thought and "crowd think" (which means only one or two have brains engaged...all the rest just follow) And then we have the ones who have nothing better to do but post hate and/or gossip. Sometimes I really fear for our country but I think we can survive this as well.
