Things to Think About (My Opinion) In the last few years it appears we as a Nation have been deluged with problems coming out of Washington or maybe a better way to explain it is ‘basic stupidity.’   Whatever happened to common sense and logic?

This statue is what was sculptured by Feliz De Weldon in 1945…
