Soft-drink companies spend millions in R&D and market research to find the perfect color, taste and image for their beverages. When I was a child, you could choose Coke or Pepsi and maybe “Tab” diet soda if you wanted cola.

In this election year we will hear much of the candidate’s love for America and all her people. Hillary Clinton’s New Hampshire tears, Barak Obama’s eloquent appeals for a new way forward, John McCain’s constant reminders of his military service and Mitt Romney’s apple pie appeals all speak of their love for the USA. Such rhetoric and sentiments are good, but real love – the love that compassionately puts others first and sacrificially looks to the next generation’s good – only counts if there is ACTION.
