I consider myself a mostly positive person. I believe in my neighbors and that they're good folks. If good people are empowered with a means to work for good, they will do just that. When people are discounted, ignored, disrespected and devalued they don't respond very well. Give the regular guy a way to help and people everywhere will surprise you. Government needs to work more on finding ways to empower the average person rather than eyeing them with suspicion and looking for reasons to add them to a list of enemies. When I look at how dwi has been reduced, imo due a lot to designated drivers, I know honest folks would take advantage of BGCs available through law enforcement.

have a good day
