A lil’ humorous hypocrisy: a lil’ time spent waiting behind a lil’ car, I noticed a lil’ sticker applied to the LEFT of its lil’ bumper. It was the largely overused and lil’ understood refrain of “coexist.” A lil’ interested, I glanced a lil’ to the RIGHT and saw yet another lil’ sticker on the other side with the all to angry refrain of “Recall Walker.”
The sticker two the right was a lil’ bigger than the one on the left. Hmmm ...
Thinking about this, I realize, I’m probably not as much “FOR Walker” as I am “NOT AGAINST” Obama.

I really hope that at the end of my days I’m remembered more for what I was FOR than for that of which I was AGAINST. Seems to be true that it is easier for some to demonstrate what they are AGAINST than what they are FOR.
(Except sports ... hmmm... I think I know some people that SAY they are BEAR fans - but really, they are just contrarians, wanting the attention that they gain by being agaist the Packers. I mean, really, Bears/Packers?? It's a no brainer.)

Just wondering: are you more of a "FOR" or an "AGAINST" kinda person?
I hope that you will find yourself rallying around a POSITIVE cause. True, it is easier to DESTROY than to BUILD. I know we have some great BUILDERS in WISCONSIN; Frank Loyd Wright springs to mind. I’d much rather be known for what I built than for who or what I’ve destroyed.
Is it easier for you to CRITICIZE than to COMPLEMENT?
I’m going to have to think about this a lil’ as I ponder new years resolutions. Do I gravitate towards the "AGAINST" or the "FOR." The "NEGATIVE" or the "POSITIVE"
I hope and pray that you and all of Greenfield has a positive year of seeing and building greatness into all of those that GOD has generously placed in our lives.
