"I had a thought." 
The frequency with which I say those four words has become so often that Lindsay created a jingle she sings each time.
Well here's my latest thought:
What if the United States operated like charity: water? 
- We'd build wells instead of walls. 
 - We'd have willing donors pay government operating costs because they trusted in the cause of those in power.
 - We'd be generous with our resources across borders (having the highest GDP in the world).
 - We'd invest in improving healthcare, education, and gender equality.
 - We'd be more invested in saving lives than taking them.
 
// End thought.
