Republican, everyone would take it. Hardly anything in this life real ly matters, except spiritual things. Since most things don’t matter, give in,” Markley advised. The person who is mature is able to make decisions. “The immature person wrings his hands a lot. You never have all the facts on which to base a decision. You have to live on partial information and move on,” he said. The person who is mature neither demands nor expects per fection. While each person must have standards, no one has perfec tion to give. Markley paraphrased the Bible as, “Don’t provoke your children to wrath by demanding too high a standard.” The person who is mature will care about others. ‘ ‘The Extension service is a good example of car ing about others,” he said. “The United States is reputed all over the world for Our charity. When there are natural disasters, or a bam bums down, or there is a tragedy in the coal regions, people give from the heart, not because the government says they have to. The United States has problems, but we have maturity in this aspect,” he said.

Wangsness recently spoke with Congressmen in Washington, D.C. about such topics as food safety, the environment, drug and alcohol abuse, and animal welfare. “The Congressmen get more let ters on the subject of animal wel fare than on any other topic,” he said.
