Random things that cross my mind

Illegal Invaders
So, are all college basketball teams illegal invaders? Just the men's teams? Or just the Jesuit founded Gonzaga University's Men's team? Maybe Bing Crosby was an illegal invader since he attended Gonzaga. Tom Foley? Or maybe just anyone from Washington State?

Lawsuits
Especially these damned class action crap buckets. In some cases lawsuits are actually justified, but in general it just seems to be more of the "It's not my fault" lack of personal responsibility mind set that plagues nearly all of humankind. The only people who truly benefit from lawsuits are the lawyers, everyone else just winds up paying more for everything.

Constitutional Carry and Stand Your Ground
Every person should have the right to protect their loved ones, themselves, and their property. Use laws already in place and quit coddling those who wish to do harm, don't entitle a bunch of untrained idiots who run around with guns just itching to use them.

Compromise
When did that become a dirty word? I give a little, you give a little and we come away with some of what we both want. Without compromise no one gets a damn thing. 

Self Sufficiency
People need to become self sufficient in order to provide for themselves. So does the Government (with out burdening the governed).

Raising Wages 
Raising wages does little real good by itself, everything simply winds up costing more to compensate. Perhaps some type of price cap would work better short term until other problems like excessive taxation (which includes all the endless levies, fines, funding of whatever), corporate gouging, retail crime, and mass lawsuits are under control.

Re-Writing or Erasing History
Don't do it. History as fact, not as belief, can possibly guide us to a better future.

Judging those from the past
Past actions occurred from the perceptions and visions held at that time, not with  those of today. Know that you will also be judged by the future for your failure to meet the standards of their days. 

Violence begets Violence
Striking out at others, attacking with words or making physical attacks, will likely result with a return in kind.

Understand
Your view point or perspective is not the only way to see things, every one else on the planet has their own perspective.

The Past is The Past, You Would Not Be Alive Without It!
Our current Existence is due to the past. Without the events that have happened we, you, me, them, they, us, would not be alive today.

It's Your Fault!
Human beings seem to be incapable of taking responsibility for themselves and their own actions. It's always some one, some group, some thing else at fault, or some past event that happened to some one or group back when, but never the individual making the choices that lead to whatever situation they are in. 
There is strength in owning your own actions.
