Worth cultivating

Thank you, for Frank Watson's well-written article.

If ever the time was right, after our "Leftist Legislature" thinks they have had an "Epic Year" this is a reasonable time to respond.

The Washington legislature needs to know they have not served us well. The question of a "divided state" is only accentuated by last-minute action passed in the darkness of night, low press coverage and more taxes.

This is time to remind them that taxes are not the road to wealth or prosperity. "Head taxes" on H2-A labor is one, small example.

Abraham Lincoln knew that we had to practice what we preached in the words: "Liberty for all..." Even then, it took another 100 years for the same political thinking to have legal support of new laws.

Sometimes, in the face of tyranny or poor leadership or practice, we need some "better fences" to be better neighbors, until the liberty of mutual respect is restored.

The State of Liberty is worth cultivating!
