 I live in a great state of the USA. I do not take this situation for granted since the fight for the condition in which I live is long-standing and ongoing. In short, we have to be ever vigilant to protect our rights and favorable conditions.

It is considered the best state in the union — the best out of all fifty of them. Our politicians are hard-nosed and fight like all get-out for the common good since we hire the people who are the best for government:

Why Is My State THE Best?

My state, Massachusetts in the USA, tops the list of all fifty of them based on sixty separate indices: Overall Best States Rankings | US News Best States https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings This explains why Massachusetts, ranking No. 1 in education and No. 2 in health care, occupies the overall No. 1 spot in the Best States rankings.

My Congressional Rep., Jim McGovern, spent his birthday walking forty-seven miles to raise money for our western food bank. Do you think that his whole body and his feet especially ached? Did he keep on going anyway? … This is the type of action that you undertake if you are serving the people who you represent in government activities and as a moral, compassionate human.

He went to a school, the same school where my daughter went for for six years, that has the motto: “Achieve the Honorable.” For some people like him and my daughter, the message sinks home and informs the direction of your life for the rest of your entire life.

My Governor, Charlie Baker, is the most popular of all fifty of them. Surprise? Surprise? Not really!

Then we have in the Senate Ed Markey and very mouthy Elizabeth Warren. And if we don’t like our leaders, we chuck them — just like tea into the water. Then we replace them.

Here in MA, the people rule and our government leaders stand by us in our towns, cities, and the Commonwealth in general as they agree with our sentiments. It has always been that way wherein we stand for that which is right, just and true.

If you want the same sort of outcome for whatever social or environmental justice cause that you serve wherever you live, then rise like us, be like us! Don’t be wimpy. Learn to be wild like the people in MA! Learn to “take the world in a loving embrace,” as the song suggests, and don’t be passive! Helplessness has no lace in the mix.
