I have stumbled upon an idea that, if implemented universally, could make everyoneâs life a little better.
Like most of my best ideas, this one occurred to me while reviewing the disturbing results of a new survey. It found that three out of every four Americans believe they are good people.
Now for the disturbing part: Nearly HALF of us think we arenât just GOOD, but BETTER than everyone else.
Consider the implications. This means one in two Little Leaguers think theyâre the best player on the team, if not the entire league. One in two of their parents agree. The same ones probably think theyâre better than the coach. And you wonder why brawls break out in the stands?

Once fully vaccinated, adults can now gather outdoors unmasked, travel within the U.S. without quarantining or testing, and join limited numbers of other vaccinated people indoors without masks or distancing.
This is good news for the approaching summer as better weather will allow many to take advantage of recreational opportunities that were sorely missed last summer under necessarily tighter precautions.
Nearby outdoor recreation is abundant. Here in St. Cloud the city’s Parks and Recreation Department manages nearly 1,700 acres of parks, ranging from the massive Whitney Park complex and the showplace Munsinger and Clemens Gardens to modest neighborhood parks like Lions Park on the edge of Pantown.
