Day 8: Three things you want to say to different people

1) To the members of the Federal Government:
           How do you sleep at night? You have twisted the intentions of government to serve only yourselves. Never did the founding fathers desire that being a representative of the people be a career. Having changed your positions to this, instead of going back to a regular career, has made you forget what it's like to work for your survival. Your salaries are unreal, and your compensation after you leave office is ridiculous. You rob the people of life and liberty by using their money to fund your retirements. You say your actions are to help the people of this country, but truly there is more suffering than ever before.

2) To Kid President:
           Mr. Kid President, You Rock! What an example to the adults of this country. I know you have your struggles, but your attitude to "Keep dancing!" is an inspiration to us all. Thanks for the laughs and for the thought provoking questions you ask us adults to think about so that we can be kinder to each other. ANd yes, it's "Dia-bee-tees", not "Dia-bee-tus".

3) To Jim Henson:
          Thank you for a wonderful childhood. Your characters helped me understand the world, both good and bad, better that almost anything else. The Dark Crystal is still one of my favorite movies. It demonstrates that good and evil must both exist, and that we must choose which we let grow. Sesame Street was a staple in our home. It made learning the basic childhood skills so fun and gave me friends to have with me for the rest of my life.
