I can recall when I was 18, I was nowhere near ready to cast a knowlegable vote. There may be some people that are ready to vote at 18 but not that many. 21 years old is even iffy in my opinion. With all of the illegal immigrants that we have in the U.S.A., one would assume that there would be literaly hundreds of thousands of these people wanting and willing to join our military service to earn their citizenship and learn to speak ENGLISH and their right to become a working, voting CITIZEN. There are to many people that have had it easy for so long, they think that if they act like 2 year old kids and do lots of whining they will get whatever they want. Guess what? Most of them do and it is time for them to grow up or move to another continent if they can find one that treats them half as good as they have it here, or will put up with their childish tantrums. Sorry, just had to put it in writing. Very good article !!!

We all need to be a bit more open to helping others. We are all so wrapped up in our own individual needs that we tend to forget what is going on around us.

You know, if we all stopped thinking solely about ourselves and thought of ourselves as a true community, the ideas in this article would work perfectly in so many ways. Everyone could contribute in some way. For instance a homemaker that needs or chooses to be... he/she could maybe help with the single mom next door by watching her child during the day...or running errands for the elderly gentleman down the street that has no family close by. I could think of a lot of stuff we could ALL do as a community family, but it of course will never work. The "Me-Me-Me" mentality rules now. (Sorry, I got a bit off topic.) A well-written article that I think more people need to read and think upon - including me.. who, yes works everyday, but could definitely be doing more for others! Excellent article!
