Almost daily I post a story on my facebook page, Larry's home info, about a new business startup in Frederick county.
I am so proud of those brave souls who, despite all the negative media, venture out to accomplish their dreams. They are varied in their nature from marriage and family therapy to a specialty shop selling imported oil and vinegar. You can even catch a relaxing eco-friendly pedi-cab ride through Baker Park if you like. It's obvious that some of our citizens see clearly a solution that our politicians can't. I think Thomas Jefferson put it aptly: "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
I pray that this entrepreneurial spirit will catch on across our nation like wildfire. A wildfire that will burn away the wasteful, power hungry and sweep in those who believe in providing opportunity and then getting out of the way. This isn't about red or blue. It's about human nature and the desire to achieve. Unfortunately human nature also can lean the other way and promote apathy from those who only want to play the role of portraying themselves as victims. Let's face it, we have all been victimized at some point. The question is, what will we do with that knowledge? Will we learn to face those situations and rise above them or will we simply allow ourselves to be crushed by them? The choice is always ours.
