Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr Phil McGraw Talk Truth about the State of Our Union

Dr. Phil and RFK Jr. get more clearly and deeply into the state of our union today. They look at our present problems and their solutions. The talk of our great and long term problems now. Kennedy names and describes many of them in ways we can understand. Then he begins to describe ways that we can resolve them. He goes on to say that he intends to continue to act to do all he can to help us to resolve our common difficulties. He sees some of our difficulties as deep and systemic, but with solutions we can handle.

He sees unnecessary suffering in American families. As an example he sees the health of Americans as declining. He sees are health as having slowly declined to a place worse than any of us can remember. He points to evidence that American health is worse than many countries we once lead in heath. He describes our present state of health and how we can improve it even as we lower healthcare costs. He point to clear, available we can improve national health! 

Of course he also sees how our work and our money has produced less and less "wealth" and points us toward ways of improving that situation. He has much of value to say about ways to improve the state of our union.

I see us as having forgotten how to take care of ourselves together. We seem to have nearly completely forgotten how to do democracy. We have in most part lost our republic without even noticing. We can again take in hand our united self care. With will we, we can learn to act as a republic and move toward more productive democracy. Will we?

Let's Talk Together a Lot More

People can make the decisions


            Making decisions with people needs to be done together. To do so calls for communication. Such communication is usually best done face to face with people who know and you have come to trust. This calls for some ongoing talk. To make a good family takes some of that ongoing listening and response.

        In life we are called on to make decisions. Some of those decisions are collective, they are made with others. That is often best done with some good conversation, talk, dialogue,  and the like. Such talk is often better done with practice.
