I Got Caught....

Yes, I got caught.

My sweet grandmother came over for a visit and as usual found her safe place on the chair in the living room. I have an endearing/annoying habit of jumping on people as they sit on my furniture, but in this chair she is able to somewhat block me with pillows.

On this past occasion I took full advantage of her crossed, swinging leg. She had no idea what I was doing, but my mom caught me and scolded me.

I was ashamed. Please forgive my indiscretion.

If I can admit when I am wrong or have done something bad, why can't our government leaders do the same?

If your idea or program doesn't work, give it up before it costs the taxpayers more money. If you are caught on tape or on a recorder saying something horrendous or committing a felony, admit it. We aren't deaf and blind and already know the truth.

If you knew there was trouble coming, but let 4 Americans die, fess up. We know you knew. We know you did not do anything. We know you tried to hide/filter/distort the details. It DOES matter to us --- then and now. It matters more than you will ever know, or will find out this November and in 2016.

"A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury."
John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
 
"I repeat...that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people, and for the people all springs, and all must exist."
Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)
