Rev Dr. CB Moss is correct when he said in The Tribune recently that:
“There are so many things that require fixing in our beloved nation that if our political leaders were to fully apply themselves to this challenging task there would be precious little time, or desire, to be at each others throats,”…
“The question is, are they listening? Do they really care?”
His "list of problems is extremely long, and includes crime, unemployment, poverty, illegal immigration, poor housing, decaying communities, staggering national deficits, crushing energy costs, teenage pregnancy, national debt and the failing education system."
What strikes me about his statement is most of the problems he outlines are a direct result of poor public policy. In other words they are exacerbated by government itself.
So it begs the question that is the "theatre" (read spectacle), being created over the gambling issue intentional or just a by product of them knowing no other possible way to solve the problems they themselves have created?
When Dr. Moss connects the dots about where the problems commence and how we might get to solutions he'll get that third cheer. And very loudly at that.
