Comments on all articles by David Tanguay (5,770)      David Tanguay    Talking With God Comment by Judi Lake (2,583)   Judi Lake (15 hours 13 minutes ago.) David, as with Robert, I've seen a very kind and caring soul in you. I think the Lord is proud of His David and is very happy with this piece; you did well! God bless you! Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (14 hours 12 minutes ago.)Well Judi, I don't believe God is proud of me. I do have a close relantionship with him. however what I acomplished in the past was all his will. Without his help, I dare not think what kind of world we would be living in today. robert melaccio sr.: (1 day 17 hours ago.) David in you I see a kind heart and a caring one. In your talks with God you are acknowledging Him. That is all He ever asked of us. I suspect many with educations, positions, wealth, power, will never know what you do. Peace to you always and the next time you talk with Him, put a word in for me. I'll do the same for you. All the best, Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (1 day 16 hours ago.)Thank you Mr. Melaccio, yes I'll put in a good word for you. Thanks for commenting Comment by Jim Murdoch (87)    Jim Murdoch (1 day 20 hours ago.)Thanks for sharing, David. Some have suggested that intuition is God's way of talking to us. Intuition is a spiritual ability. All we have to do is listen. Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (1 day 19 hours ago.)Thanks Jim, yes I believe intuition is a way God gets through to us. sue thom from nj: (2 days 13 hours ago.) hi david, amen! i talk with God several times a day, and i have faith He is listening. i may not get what i want, but He's listening, and He knows better. thank you for sharing your thoughts, best regards, sue Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (2 days ago.)Thank you Susan, yes keep the faith he is listening. The Star Spangled Banner Comment by Tim Hicks (432) (2 days 17 hours ago.)Thank you very much. I really enjoyed your personal verses. I never grow tired of hearing our National Anthem and I am not embarassed to say that I still get a chill whenever I hear it. Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (2 days 17 hours ago.)Thank you for commenting Tim, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I See, Said The Blind Man Jay: (4 days 11 hours ago.) Nick, it might be just a funny saying but if you really look into it its so much more. Does Anybody Really Care? Comment by Ken McCreless (673)   Ken McCreless (10 days 4 hours ago.) Hey David, did you hear about the guy taking a survey? He asked one lady which was worse, ignorance or apathy. She replied "I don't know and I don't care! Good job. Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (10 days 3 hours ago.)I heard that somewhere Ken, I can't remember where. Comment by Steve Radford (765)  Steve Radford (10 days 12 hours ago.)Thought provoking piece David. Sometimes I wonder if indifference is a disguise for helplessness. A person may care deeply but feel powerless to change the situation. So they just stop trying. Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (10 days 5 hours ago.)That's true Steve, there's an old saying. "If you can't like them join them" sometimes indifference is the norm in everyday living. sue tho from nj: (10 days 14 hours ago.) hi david, i enjoyed this article for the way it was written. indifference is just wasting one's life while breathing in air. thanks for sharing, best regards, sue Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (10 days 14 hours ago.)Susan, I really never heard it put that way, but your right Comment by Jennifer Cuddy (1,038)  Jennifer Cuddy (10 days 15 hours ago.) yes, i think that apathy is very much the state of mind of our nation's youth. nobody is getting involved anymore. music and art emerging from the current generation is certainly not reflecting any political or ethical introspection. it's very sad. good article. Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (10 days 15 hours ago.)Yes Jennifer, I don't know if your old enough to remember the 60s. The young, i.e. the rebellious in those days did care about what was going on then. I don't know what happened to that generation. Today's young are different than those flower children of the 60s. Election Year 08 (Poem) Comment by Judi Lake (2,583) Judi Lake (13 days 21 hours ago.)No, not yet -- life is still spinning but thank God Gary found a decent job in Charleston which, ironically, is only 2 hours from where we presently live -- he's moving today and the next 6 weeks will find Laura and I going back and forth moving things into our new home until she completes the third grade. Thanks for asking! Comment by Judi Lake (2,583) Judi Lake (13 days 21 hours ago.)Bravo, David -- very eloquently written! Thanks! Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (13 days 21 hours ago.)Thank you Judy, are you all moved yet?

Hey, hey, your husband is the genius around here. ha ha sue thom from nj: (15 days 18 hours ago.) hi david, very true, every vote counts. this was a well written poem, poetry is an art in itself, and fun to read, especially when it makes sense! this is such a monumental year, to go down in History, either a woman president, who is married to a former president, or a black president. that's one for the history books. unless....someone else creeps in. thanks for sharing, best regards, sue Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (15 days 18 hours ago.)Thank you for commenting Susan. I hope you make out alright in court. The Future Begins With Our Actions Today susan thom from nj: (18 days 13 hours ago.) hi david , this quote: "WE cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future" is what i have been trying to do for the last 22 years of my life. trying to prepare 3 kids how to handle adversity and responsibility, respect, and how to know what's wrong and right, etc. i love the quote. i've never heard it before. thanks for introducing it to me. very well written, and oh, so true, on all counts. best regards, sue Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (18 days 5 hours ago.)Thank you Susan, the quote was from President Roosevelt. Comment by Sandra E. Graham (846)  Sandra E. Graham (18 days 13 hours ago.)Great article, David. Whether we can or cannot build a future for our youth; we aren't doing such a great job at the moment. And we can only pray that we can prepare our youth for the future that they will all too soon inherit. Thanks for sharing. Sandra Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (18 days 5 hours ago.)Thank you for commenting Sandra Walking Against The Wind Comment by Avis Ward (7,719) (19 days 22 hours ago.)David, I enjoy your gift and talent for writing.

Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (22 days 16 hours ago.)Thanks for commenting Mark Walking Against The Wind Comment by Ken McCreless (673) Ken McCreless (22 days 19 hours ago.) David, I am always amazed at your ability to sum it all up so eloquently. Great article! Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (22 days 15 hours ago.)Yeah Ken, in text it's a lot easier than in real life. don't you think? sue thom from nj: (22 days 22 hours ago.) hi david, so true. when i thought about "Why is it so hard to accept a complete stranger as a friend?" i realized that back in the 70's, i made 3 friends, who were complete strangers, in a time when that didn't matter, and they are all still my best friends today. trust is an important thing, if you are lucky enough to find it. thanks for a good article, best regards, sue Comment by David Tanguay (5,770) David Tanguay (22 days 22 hours ago.)Thank you for commenting Susan Alcohol Abuse, Drug Abuse, Cell Phone Abuse, (all Deadly!) Comment by Francine Larson (1,010)  Francine Larson (23 days 3 hours ago.)I agree totally. I also think people are addicted to cell phones. In fact, I think I will write about that. I like all of your articles. They are so meaningful and insightful.

Don't know any better way to say it. Response from David Tanguay (5,770) Change Is The Law of Life Comment by Sandra E. Graham (846) Sandra E. Graham (41 days 23 hours ago.)Great article, David. And I think you are right. The politicians talk 'change'; the people want 'change'; but with so many who have power to make the changes too happy with the way things are, when will the 'have-nots' have anything? SEG Response from David Tanguay (5,770) Imagine all the People sue thom from nj: (43 days 2 hours ago.) hi david, i have found that anything's possible, both good and bad, but if we, as a people focused on the good, what a better world we'd live in, and could pass down to the next generations. best regards, sue Response from David Tanguay (5,770) Michael Kocis: (43 days 13 hours ago.) Very sweet and nice article David, when asked if he thought it was possible ? John replyed, " I don't think it will ever happen, but you can imagine it." I'd sadly have to agree with him there.

Response from David Tanguay (5,770) The Melting Pot (We the People) Comment by Ken McCreless (673) Ken McCreless (48 days 5 hours ago.)Now David, You know we can't be the moral compass for the world with an attitiude like that! Thanks for the great article, a lot of hard truth there. I hope Washington DC is a SearchWarp reading community. Response from David Tanguay (5,770) Comment by James P Krehbiel (1,686)  James P Krehbiel (49 days 12 hours ago.)David, Great article. I hope that we can work with our enemies, rather than labeling them, ie. "axis of evil" etc. If we can't, we are in deep trouble. Thanks. Response from David Tanguay (5,770) Artificial Flowers (by Bobby Darin) Comment by Ben Jones (4,549)  Ben Jones (49 days 14 hours ago.)Hi David, I'd never heard (or read) this song before.

Two things that stand out (for me anyhow) "All men are created equal" well maybe at the moment of birth or more likely "in the eyes of God." Sounds pretty doesn't it...all men ...equal. Hell even the guys who wrote it didn't believe it or didn't understand it. They had black slaves, only land owners could vote, and there was probably more, more that's enough for now. Talk with our enemys, some of them O.K. sure that might work reasonable folks talk'n it out, again sounds good, could work. What about the ones sworn to their God to destroy all that are not like them ? Wait...first you'd have to believe that's even true. Let's see...goofy enough to strap a bomb on your a$$ and blow up yourself & other people ...yep. I believe it. There are some people you can't "talk" to, not me or you Dave, or a President, not their mommies or daddies cause they are well..."Crazy." Response from David Tanguay (5,770) Comment by E.

There is no other government founded on the principals you just expressed for the "Common Good'. It really is simple and we need no long legal explanation just common sense. If it is wrong why do it? Simple. PS Get out an vote and take a few friends with youa nd give them all the boot.
