Hey back Larry, thanks for think daily I look forward to seeing what you have to say each morning.

I read a quote once that said ” People are not anti you, they are just pro-themselves.” Kind of the way it should be. So in general most people decent enough, but then there are those ones……..

Thank you Larry.Such practical wisdom is a great tool for happiness! My parents always said it like this…”Be good to all, trust a few and always paddle your own canoe”

Love this one! I believe that the givers benefit more than the receivers. They get the emotional gift of joy, satisfaction and spiritual freedom.

Excellent point! Surround yourself with positive people!

What is wonderful about my life is that I have a choice I can change my beliefs anytime I want and am not bound by anything Thanks Larry great post made me think how fortunate I am

If I don’t approve of wasteful spending in my house I wouldn’t approve of the government doing so…especially if I was in debt and added to my debt with the wasteful spending. Get our national debt down and then if you have a surplus to have fun with fine…needs to stop!

Not at all. Especially if I was the cop who had to put my life on the line to safe someone who was being held hostage and knowing a vehicle of that type would be a great asset. These types of vehicles have been deemed surplus and no longer needed by the military. They have been bought and paid for by tax dollars. They would be just sitting around mothballed and rotting away. Unfortunately our government has created such a “Free Society” that it increasingly causes otherwise innocent people to become victimized. You want people to be able to own and in some states carry assault type weapons, then you better be prepared to have police officers having armored vehicles available to use when needed. Remember, they want to be able to go home to their families at the end of a days work just like you do. Would you want to be the law enforcement officer that will be duty bond to have to approach a school loaded with kids where some “citizen or guest to this country” is barricaded inside with a weapon that contains rounds that will penetrate your supposed Bullet Proof Vest????

They should take the $500,000 and fund
Public art and education .

Of course it’s ludicrous. I wonder if Donald Trump is aware of this. If not, maybe he should be. Then it would be interesting how he handles the situation.
I agree that we should be providing our police forces with what they need to do their work BUT $7B – wow – for vehicles that are not neccessarily – “neccessary”.
Thanks for the info Larry.

In Canada it is the Same, Toronto Police vehicles and uniforms now look like they are working in a war zone! Scary

It is clearly known within the :Deep State” of our government that the greatest threat of terrorism is from within “We the people” and not as likely from a foreign entity (unless we’ve done something to provoke). Our country was founded by terrorists and through many acts of terrorism we have become a world power. I often ask myself what is the difference between a patriot and terrorist, and in the end, how are of these labels awarded? Is it not the victors choosing, who tells the story from their perspective in history books? I remain grateful for everything this land has given me but that doesn’t mean I have to be unconditionally proud of its history or rulers. Maybe the militarization of our police force Is being driven by are own fears to protect the status quo. Do you think this fear that appears to be so pervasive, may be overcome by looking inside ourselves and finding courage through awareness to make change or do we sit back and wait for the “Great Pumpkin” to come? Keene will be ready and waiting.

Larry
I look forward to your thoughts each day.
Thanks

Totally agree!

The invention of cable tv was sold to the public because they told us it would have way less commercials ! Ha! How many found that to be true? It’s a waist of everyone’s time and we even pay for it !

Never thought about pain that way! I have 2 people in mind for ” Think Daily” 🙂 and they will spread the word!

Thanks for your post Larry a great reminder for me to hold onto today

Love this!!
