New Years 2017; What will it bring??? One thing is for sure, it is going to be exciting. (I am reminded of an ancient Chinese curse, “may you live in interesting times”. The world is about to experience a President Trump. Will he be the firebrand he campaigned as or will he be the calm businessman whose image he has displayed. My hope is that President Trump truly understands that governance is not the same as business. Business uses money as the value it brings “to the table”. Governance uses service to the people as its “currency”. I am concerned that although President Trump will learn this in time, the Presidency is not the place for learning it. The world depends upon the Presidents wisdom, guidance, perseverance, tolerance and perspective in order to keep a relatively peaceful planet. Global Warming requires understanding, perspective and long range planning as do so many other world issues. I hope that a President Trump understands that. A lot of damage can be done and a lot of good work can be undone with a careless word let alone wild accusations and insinuations.
President Trump, please, please be careful with the planet; its all we have.
