Sometimes common sense seems to rise up and strike me and this year it's in the form of my wish list. I thought I'd share it with you:
- I wish politicians would remember why they are elected.
- I wish the voters would remember that they elected the politicians.
- I wish that all politicians would remember that their charge is to represent those that voted for them and not to abandon them for special interests.
- I wish that Main Street would reemerge as the proper name of the main street in Fallbrook, so that the "Main Street Merchants" would not have to move to a location where there is a "Main Street."
- I wish that, after the elections, the politicians in Washington would work for the best interests of our country, rather than the best interests of their party.
- I wish the commuters on our freeways would realize that every time they share a ride to their work area that there is one less car on the roads.
- I wish someone would recognize that the water shortage, freeway traffic, the coming shortage of electrical power, and clean air problems could be solved it we stopped new, large housing developments and gave ourselves an opportunity to catch up with solutions rather than utilizing the band-aid approaches now necessary.
- I wish that all automobiles came equipped with "fully automatic built-in turn signals."
- I wish someone would read these "old ideas" and react positively to them.
