We have two choices. Turn the channel to some reality show, drink a beer, and just let it happen, seems to be what most of America has been doing for a while.
Or, we fight it. We call our representatives, we show up to the rallies, we buy WalMart out of golf balls and make the mail trucks break suspension parts.  Will it work? Maybe...maybe not. But at least we can say we did all that we could do. Might get punched in the nose, but that doesn't mean we can't fight, claw, and cuss 'till we hit the ground and can't get up anymore. |
Absolutely...all of us need to know what is in bills, pending laws, etc, and make ourselves heard. And VOTE. People in other countries (like Iran) have little chance of making change thru the political process, but we do and if we lay down and say, oh, it's all gone to
, then politicians will just run us into the ground. Just for the record, I don't think things are as gloomy or bad as some would have us believe; remember the song about "give us your dirty laundry"? Bad news sells - but a kid who saves his family from a disaster is inside the back page. We cannot be sheeple and live in fear.
What should be worrying us (imho) is when did the "government" start this whole notion of having ANY money and acting as though it is a huge favor to provide us services like roads, etc? They get all the cash from us...and will be taking more and more from future generations.
