Maybe ask them what could have been done differently to avoid the baby formula shortage? (Do they even know about it - about how desperate parents are and that some babies have actually had to be hospitalized for lack of their specific formula?) That topic is serious, but at the same time can be viewed as 'non-political.' If they say they don't know, point out how many manufacturers are making it. Why so few? And if the FDA has to close one down, what would be the remedy for the obvious, resultant shortage? Just get them to start picking things apart and actually THINKING. That's all you can do. Plant the seeds and let them germinate in their minds. Good luck and good for you for trying to open eyes. Please don't get discouraged. You really never know who will be affected by your comments. And btw, if that can happen with baby formula, what else can it happen with?
That little boy is so cute! He is being so productive and accomplishing something so important, and at such a young age. Also, by setting up his equipment that way, he was able to walk away, so something else and not deal with the frustration of waiting and waiting and waiting and never catching anything. Great video. Thanks for posting it.
I didn't know you were going for a joke. I've met so many people on this board who don't know how government works. Imo, it's better to be accurate with your titles because there are (sadly) lots of people who will think he has already won.
Ha! Well, Paul himself had this problem. We all do because we are still sinners, We are counseled to 'work out our salvation with fear and trembling.' No doubt it feels uncomfortable to you, but you honestly are in the same boat as loads of other people. All we can do is pray, pray, pray and do the best we can each day. God well knows what is in our hearts, even when we ourselves feel like complete losers. I've come to believe that is part of His plan. That we should continue to seek and question and even struggle as we draw closer to Him, all the while wondering if we're 'doing it right.'
Btw, BA, a few months back there was a funny comment on the board. I remember really chuckling about it but now I can't remember it exactly. It had something to do with you and your user name. Maybe you said something ... possibly about a boating accident .. and then someone commented, "User name checks out." Do you remember that? It was hilarious at the time.
