Next Election let’s Vote Out all Extremists

Too hot, too cold, too small, too big, too high, too low!

Extremes just don’t work.

Salt is good, but too much salt ruins everything.  Honey is sweet, but too much honey is sickening.

Too much of any good thing is a bad thing and too little of any good thing results in weakness, neediness or want.

Too much ruins, and too little weakens a cause.

“Moderation in all things” is a good motto to live by.  Don’t you think?

Extreme positions are not only unrealistic but harmful.

Extreme positions are often held with haughtiness and arrogant self-righteousness.  Not good!  Furthermore extreme positions are usually neither practical nor productive nor positive in their effect, non-effective at best or badly effective at worse.

Art and architecture, song and dance, poetry, prose or drama, and the Beauty of Nature all avoid extreme imbalance and excess.

Thus, an “All or Nothing” approach in negotiating outcomes just doesn’t cut it.

There is always give-and-take.

A healthy life is a balanced life, work and play, leisure and exercise, wake and sleep, action and rest.

Congress needs to practice this simple motto.

Seek balance.  Avoid extremes.  Be moderate in all things.  Do what is healthy for the nation’s economy, which means avoiding extremes.

A centered, balanced and moderate, Congressional Representative is a good thing.

Next election, let’s vote out all extremists and vote in solid moderates who will be constructively practical and balanced.
