True story of can do

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal told a true story last night on PBS. After Katrina hit Louisiana, he walked into the Sheriff's office who was angry. The sheriff was hollering in the phone, I am the sheriff, and if you don't like come and arrest me.

Jindal asked whats wrong? The sheriff said there are several private citizens in boats ready to go rescue people stranded on their roofs. Some Bureaucrats are telling them not to put their boats into the water unless they have proof of insurance and registration.

Jindal continued to say that there is a lesson here; it is the spirit of the people that got us through Katrina, and it is the spirit of the people who will get us through this.

I would like to add that when we reach out to each other to support and help, as some of you have been doing, that is what I believe Jindal is talking about.

If Obama and Mr. Walker are right, and I think they are, oversight will be important for the Obama Plan to work. As Obama says, it will take involvement of the people to inform him of abuses...whistle blowers. That would work.

Like Mr. Walker says it is too much money (and power) that attracts the greed like moths to a flame. That being the case, remove the flame...remove the excess money by reconstructing the current tax structure through tariffs or the fair tax. In other words: a smaller government.

Gandhi and Martin Luther King knew the power is always in the hands of the people. We have simply given our power away to greed. As soon as we are ready to unite the change will, as it always has, take place not from the top down, but from the people up. These lessons we have learned by the actions of Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King.....
