I chose a thought from our Nations past as today's thought. When he was President, John F. Kennedy hosted a dinner with I believe several Nobel Prize winners made the quote:
"I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
That is the back story for the wisdom of the quote that I have chosen for today. I decided to this quote as I read it in a posting that an old school mate put on Facebook.
"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."
Thomas Jefferson
I found this something to think about it today's political climate. This was what the writer of the Declaration of Independence had in mind as his definition of Good Government. It seems that we have lost sight of what our Founding Fathers thought Government should be. Just something to think about.

Yes, this is an interesting thought. Seems this got forgotten along the way.
Very interesting thought. Today, it is all about career politicians pushing their agendas down the throats down the gullets of the gullible American folks. I hate to say it, but with the crooks that are currently in office, America will soon be a broke nanny state - how sad, that our forefathers visions have gotten so obscured by the smoke and mirrors that abound in DC...

Eunice: I agree that it has been lost!
Michael: I agree that it is sad that we have allowed ourselves to be here. I think that unless some strict term limits are imposed, the future that you wrote about will happen sooner than later!
