Seriously.
We've got Lowe's, Home Depot, A. C. Moore, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, more auto part stores than I care to count, and - probably the #1 addiction of women everywhere, yet a Godsend - Pinterest: if it's makable, somebody can show you how to do it.
Like, I will never buy a can of dry shampoo because I can make a jar of it for the same price that will last me 10 times as long.
This country is a DIY project, and I think the problem today is that people think it was a DIY project.
What's the difference?
If America was a DIY project, then we as Americans now have no responsibility to maintain it.
That's totally mistaken.
America is a DIY project that we're all responsible for.
WE THE PEOPLE are responsible for keeping government in its place.
WE THE PEOPLE are responsible for taking care of ourselves and our neighbors to the best of our ability. (Government was never supposed to be in charge of welfare. That was an immense failure on the part of the people and the church as a whole.)
WE THE PEOPLE have the responsibility to make an educated vote for the candidate we believe will best fill the position and carry out the duties of that said position.
I believe it was Jefferson who said that America ought to have a revolution every 40 years. I seriously doubt he meant a violent revolution; he probably more of a redrawing of lines, and a fresh declaration of values.
And y'all, we're about 200 years overdue.
I strongly suggest watching Dinesh D'Souza's "America" documentary, as well as Bill Whittle's "What We Believe" series.
