“There’s a very old, but wise, proverb “If the upper beams are not straight, the lower beams will go aslant.” Indeed, if society’s leaders set a poor example, the rest of society will follow. There is a clear absence of leadership on all fronts, these days. It’s almost as though the politicians, bureaucrats, and corporate exec’s are in on a secret, and it’s scorched earth and a race to the bottom.

“Fixing” ballots after an election deadline is a recipe for disaster.

The point of an election is to confer power to someone voted for by a plurality of the electorate — the candidate with the most votes. An equally important point is to convince the supporters of the loser that the winner deserved to win — that the count was fair and unbiased.

Reader says “This country was successful and the envy of the world because of the rule of law”

“This country was successful and the envy of the world because of the rule of law. Now that the hordes have taken control and they can literally destroy a life in minutes through social media attacks, law only applies to certain groups of peaceful people we are headed for turmoil. The transformation of this country into some unrecognizable mix of socialism, humiliating and destroy white people, creating artificial divide between Americans of different colors and backgrounds and inciting them against each other is an experiment that will really destroy the world as we know it. Conflict after conflict, division after division is the path to self destruction. We are under the siege of extreme ideologies that nobody seems to be able to stand against.
I feel so bad for the children and I sympathize with the new couples who would rather raise dogs than kids.”

Celebrate the Summer Solstice !

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, June 20th is the Summer Solstice The summer solstice, also known as festival solstice or midsummer, occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun. It happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere.

At the summer solstice, the Sun travels the longest path through the sky, and that day therefore has the most daylight. When the summer solstice happens in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted about 23.4° (23°27´) toward the Sun.

Why not celebrate this weekend with a summer solstice gardening party. You can welcome the first day of summer with your family and friends while sharing the joy of gardening with them.People have been celebrating the summer solstice for centuries, with elaborate festivals that honor nature. So, why not continue this tradition in your way with a gardening party? A gardening party is a festive event in which people can eat great food, socialize with loved ones, and connect to nature by planting flowers, fruits, or vegetables. It’s an informal, entertaining, and educational way of saluting the summer season.
