We are all a product of the decisions, large and small, we have made in our life.
I am not trying to tell you that a poor person decided to be poor, but the accumulation of their decisions placed them in the situation in which they find themselves.
There are always options. Perhaps they are not the options one wants to take or the decisions one wants to make, but there are always possibilities.
Sometimes the decision can be how you react to adversity. Perhaps it is the decision to stay in a geographical are when you could move to another and make more money. Perhaps you decide to stay close to family members. Maybe you stay in a particular job because it is undemanding and you can spend more time with your immediate family.
These are only a few among the thousands of decisions that make us who we are.
Don't expect me to make up for your 'wants' when your decisions are in your way.

My e-mail to Wisconsin State Senator Dan Kapanke and Wisconsin State Rep Jennifer Shilling
Below is an e-mail I sent to my state senator and state representative in my home state of Wisconsin. However, this could apply to almost any state.
******************
I have heard that these two anti-gun proposals were introduced in Madison late last week. I have not been able to find out what happened last week, but I hope you both did not support these overly aggressive proposals.
I have reviewed some websites that are proponents of these proposals. They are full of half truths and in some cases lies.
The WAVE website makes the statement.
"Under current law, anyone can get a gun in Wisconsin without undergoing a background check or even showing identification."
--------------------------------------
If you really want to be outraged about something check out my modification of this statement.
Under current law, anyone can vote in Wisconsin without undergoing a background check or even showing identification.
If you want to make a significant difference, close the voting loophole.
