Is This the End?

Is This the End?
When the statesmen from the thirteen original colonies, which were to become the United States of America, had compromised mightily, written a constitution, and fought a bitter war, to bring a new nation into being I'll wager they thought they had created something new, special, and unique among the forms of governance upon the Earth. Indeed they had. But where is that ideal, that dream, today? Search near and far, high and low - it is not often you will find it.

The idea of a government existing to serve the citizenry, rather than the other way around, was predicated on having decisions affecting themselves and their neighbors be made by a well informed body of voters. In America, today there is no such group. Although many are legally eligible to vote, only a fairly small fraction of them have spent the time and expended the effort to become even moderately informed. When asked who their governor, or senator, or even who the President of the United States is, many cannot.

Voters today will bemoan the tragic state of our economy, health care, energy, world influence, education, immigration, and infrastructure. Actually, the list could go on at considerable length. They will then aver that we must put a moose shooter in Washington to bring about the needed reforms; and perhaps to safeguard our borders. The result, of course, will be that we will still have a government incapable of changing, but good at shooting moose.

America, WAKE UP! Those who claim you can have change and reform by electing the same party and people who created the current mess, are either crazy or stupid! Any candidate, who says he won't increase taxes, but the other one will, is LYING to you. Do you like being lied to? Do you like being ripped off? If anyone wants to bring about real change, right now, all that it takes to begin is to stop lying; and if this election is decided in favor of the Republican candidate then America will stand in ruins. Will we let that happen?
