Yes. I can more than control myself. I don't have control over my
environment, unless I choose to stay home and stay of the roads. If
elected, I would make others respect the rights of others for a better
environment. Almost always, where there is a conflict between man and
nature, nature loses. I would try to change that. My values comes
before my pocketbook and I have the documentation to prove it.

There are bigger problems that what you consider to be a problem. You
can't change human nature. If you were elected I suspect you would
not be handling real issues if you focused your time on trying to
make people respect each other.


How about making corporations respect people? Maybe we need to give
"corporate entities" some limits and guidelines. A received a notice
from the bank today, a big bank, New Rule: Discrepancies concerning
deposit slips may or may not be corrected, at the banks discretion, if
the discrepancy is less than $10. Someone must have stayed up all
night thinking of that new profit generating idea... I wonder which
ones they will correct? Too much to ask for a bank to have to put the
customer's money into his or her account?


I decided to be "proactive" and tried to contact the bank. No email
access. The phone number didn't allow me to connect with a customer
representative. Happy day. I will strive to make a point of sharing
my opinions about this one way or another. Maybe our motto should be:
People have rights too! The "customer agreements" get longer every year.
So long, that it's not practical to even read most of them. I do not
think the new policy will help make the world a better place.
Maybe I'll short them $5 on my next deposit, and see whether they
correct it or not... : )
