i watch the news everynight, listen to NPR, read blogs, newspapers etc.... and try to stay as informed as my feeble brain can understand. "granted not a lot" but i wonder a LOT lately where our country is heading.
years ago i said i believed our country would see another revolution and probably within my lifetime. i was teased unmercifully by several people about being paranoid, having an active imagination or becoming a conspiracy nut. now i'll be the first to admit i do have an active imagination and i do tend to be a little nutty. hey it's fun this way, you ought to try it!!
but now more than ever i think we are heading to a show down of some sort, how much are the American people willing to put up with? i mean we are supposed to be the land of the free right, but sooo much is and has been shoved down our throats in the past, oh i don't know 20 or 30 years.
i'm not speaking of any one thing i'm talking about the government and watch dogs collectively.
we are told if we don't like our representatives vote them out and replace them. well how is that accomplished when the pool to choose from is all slimey? this is just another feel good slogan that means NOTHING in the real world. i've voted in every election since i was 18. not ONE time did i vote FOR a particular president, i simply voted what i considered the lesser of the available evils. and the local elections aren't any better.
well today i'll go vote again "sigh" and pray for the best again and be disappointed by my choices within a month or two again!
thanks for reading "all two of you :-)" and God Bless
