Extraordinary People

I want to spend a few minutes of your time to recruit you to become an extraordinary person. What does this take to achieve? How much time do you have to commit to? I also know you believe that you are too busy with everyday life to commit to anything else. What if all I want you to do is spend a few minutes each and everyday to make life's, of the people you care about most, better?  Folks to you this may seem like the same types of blog or Face book posting that we look at many time every day. Well, guess what, it is not. This is an opportunity to express your opinion and share ways to make the world around us better. Think about the amount of time you spend on Face book or some other social media network just having fun. There is nothing wrong with some down time to relax and veg out. What I am asking people to do is take a few minutes everyday to help move forward social and political issues that are of concern to you and the people you love. The people who have commented on this blog so far have shown that they have an interest in something bigger then their selves. Marines, Danny and Jessica have been big contributors with issues that does not even affect them directly, but they understand that we all have a vested interest in moving our country ahead. So far I have had over one thousand hits, including views from four foreign countries. I want more, but most importantly I want more involvement. Look around you and see what is important to you. Take that few minutes and learn and express yourselves. You have nothing to loose but a few minutes and everything to gain. Become involved. Hope to hear from all of you soon. Remember, " Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

  1. Matters of social relevance, health, ecomomics and emotional statements are the everyday cause for us to touch someone's life. We work to survive, we pay taxes to improve our lifestyles. We communicate through forums to express our views and everyday someone's life is altered, changed or impacted by what you say to help, listen. advice and guide. As a society we care because we matter, we strive to fit in, be accepted and fight to make a difference. Human politics are internal structures that place us in a category of making a difference and making our voices count or represent for something. Its valuable conscience voices like yours John,that allow us the freedom of speech.
