We are beseiged by turmoil and anxiety in our lives... failing financial institutions, war, loss of jobs, healthcare, aging, homes in foreclosure, global warming, and loss of respect in the world. Stress is evident. We are engaged in the politics of the day in hopes that there is a brighter future. It is up to each American to get out and vote. We must all take some responsibility for our future, the future of our children and our grandchildren and for the betterment of the world as a whole so we may live in peace.
