More From Helen Prejean

In sorting out my feelings and beliefs, there is, however, one piece of moral ground of which i am absolutely certain: if i were to be murdered i would not want my murderer executed. i would not want my death avenged. especially by government--which can't be trusted to control its own bureaucrats or collect taxes equitably or fill a pothole, much less decide which of its citizens to kill.
Government Feelings Sorting Out
The left does understand how raising taxes reduces economic activity. how about their desire for increasing cigarette taxes, soda taxes? what are they trying to do? get you to buy less. they know. they know that higher taxes reduce activity. it's real simple: if you want more of an activity, lower taxes on it. if you want less of an activity, raise taxes. so if you want more jobs? it's very simple. you lower payroll taxes. if you don't want as many jobs, then you raise corporate taxes. it's that simple, folks.
Real Simple Desire
There is no reason to believe that the people who staff the managerial and professional positions in our service institutions are any less qualified, any less competent or honest, or any less hard-working than the men who manage businesses. conversely, there is no reason to believe that business managers, put in control of service institutions, would do better than the 'bureaucrats'. indeed, we know that they immediately become bureaucrats themselves.
Believe Hard Work Men
Remember, most of the bureaucrats voted for hillary clinton. most of the bureaucrats deeply dislike what trump is trying to accomplish, and most of the bureaucrats think they can't be fired, so they can outlast you.
Thinking Trying Remember
We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
Attitude Optimistic Expression
A guy's calling to say he's failing algebra ii. just as a point of practice, i say, kill yourself. a woman calls and says her kids won't behave. without missing a beat, i tell her, kill yourself. a man calls to say his car won't start. kill yourself. a woman calls to ask what time the late movie starts. kill yourself. she asks, "isn't this 555-1327? is this the moorehouse cineplex? i say, kill yourself. kill yourself. kill yourself.

Before babies, i worked very hard to make sure i understood my surroundings and figured out where i fit in the world, whether it was at work or whether it was in a social situation. and with kids, you just can't. the rule is you can't really do that because they dictate and they change so much so you just have to go with the flow more and be present and not have big expectations and be amused all the time.
