Hopeful Solutions

Check out the Monday June 14 Seattle Times article about a major mineral discovery in the Afghan mountains. In a nut shell U.S. Geologists and Pentagon officials discovered veins of gold, cobalt, iron and other minerals worth at least a trillion dollars in the Afghan mountains. This discovery could turn a war ravaged region in one of the great mining centers in the world.

There are people who spend their entires lives working on this kind of solution to the problems that face us. We should applaud their efforts and find ways to help them.

Complaining about everything from crime rates to poor public education to the price of health care is easy to do. Finding solutions to these problems is difficult and should be supported.
