I have served my country along side men and women of all races who I respected and followed as they did me.
Most of these people, when I got to know them, I found to be just like me in what their hopes and dreams were for themselves and there families.
A few did not like me and some I didn't like either. However in the final counting we are all connected and so much more alike then different.
If you have had your DNA tested you may find, as my family has, that you have thousands of cousins some of them may be a surprise to you.
One of my 64, Fifth Great Grand-Mothers was an Iroquois child raised and made part of a white family. Another ancestor is an Englishman, Edward Lincoln, who had two sons, Thomas and Samuel, who came to the colonies and each raised families. Edward Lincoln is a common ancestor of President Abraham Lincoln and me.
One thing that I know to be true among most people is that words matter, and trust is easily lost. That said, if you must judge, judge by a persons actions and history and less about their words or promises.
How did we get to where we are today?

Chuck,
My career and life almost mirrors yours. During my tenure at Boeing, I travelled, meet and work with many around the world. Like you, been around people that liked me and others that I disliked.
So how did we get to where we are today?
Complacency!
We have allowed the current Status Quo to take place because we have become too comfortable and allowed greedy politicians with their own agendas dictate our lives.
We stopped recognizing that these Charlatan's were voted in by us and they have the duty to serve us and not themselves.
We need term limits just like the President for both the house and congress. The truth is that Term Limits will never happen because it is their gold mine.
