Let's add to the 'everything you need to know you learned in kindergarten' and update with the flight attendants rule of surviving. "put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others". Pretty simple, but seems like something we should be following right now in this time of the United States not acting like the leader of the free world or having the right to. If our children are sitting at the table hungry and we are not able to feed them do we invite others over for dinner? I am really proud of my country and our citizens and our desire to help and need to help but I think we need to let others take the lead at this point when we need to focus on ourselves a bit. Why not get ourselves healthy, not worried about the happy part, but healthy and not on the verge of crashing and burning before we always have to reach out to others. Who is stepping up to the plate to help us? What country comes to our aid when the midwest flooded so terribly this summer, what country donated millions when New Orleans was devastated? No, I am not saying we should forsake all others but maybe get off life support before we try to give mouth to mouth to anyone else quite yet.
