   Maybe she baked them and is now trying to save them after all that effort.

   I agree. We are often on the same page. The pills comment was meant to be over the top to make a point: it seems that many people look to pills to solve their problems, hopefully instantly, rather than being willing to make the effort to do what is necessary to make the changes or improvements in their lives that they are looking to have. Trying to have an easy fix, so to speak.

   Who knows, maybe it’s a good fire starter.

   3rd, actually. But who’s counting.

   By the way, my spelling is often British English because it is the default on my computer, instead of American English.

   I am multi-national. My entire schooling (K – 12) was in the US school system and US University. I have lived in several countries (US, UAE, Germany, UK) and worked / travelled in more than 50 countries. It has opened my eyes to the fact that we are all one race, and the divisions among us are in our minds and self-inflicted.

   And yes, I have read the Declaration of Independence as well as the US Constitution, including the Bill of Rights and most of the Amendments.

   Living in and travelling to other countries has made me appreciate what remarkable documents they are and what a remarkable system of government it is. Living in the US (and much of my family lives in the US) has also shown me how little it is appreciated or even understood by many Americans and in what a perilous situation the country currently finds itself.

   And by experiencing other countries and other cultures I have gained perspective on how many problems the country still needs to overcome, with racism probably the greatest challenge of them all. There is so much to love about the US. But there is also much that is troubling and which sorely needs to be addressed. But that can be said about just about any country. We are all just humans, after all.

   I wrote that before I had my coffee and was able to count properly. Yes, it is not the 12th but the 11th letter. I have now had my coffee and am able to count again.

   You do realise that the government is us, don’t you?

    More like from expecting pills to solve all their problems.
