From the time I was old enough to peek over the edge of the nest, I have seen this Farce played over and over. We all know it, but we are going about trying to solve the problem in the wrong way. We think that if we toss the bums out of office and put new, more loving and caring folks in their places things will get better.
Isn't that one definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results? We did just that this last election. We tossed out a bunch of rascals and thieves and thought we'd put in new, really caring people. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty.
And we can trail along back through election after election. We get all frothy at the mouth and work hard to replace the current foxes in our big old hen house, only to find out that the guys we sent off to D.C. were just more foxes. Have we ever stopped to consider that maybe the problem is not the people we're sending.? Maybe it's the whole Damn system! Our founding fathers told us that if our government was not responsive to our needs, we must get rid of it and put in its place a government that serves the people.
But just one word of caution. Because our current government is serving some of the people real well(Wall Street, Madison Avenue, The Industrial/Military Complex) we need to know that to stand tall and demand a new, people's government will be met with strong resistance. We will gbe labeled "Terrorists" and "Enemies of America", by the very people who are sending our jobs overseas along with our money that is snug in hidden banks around the world.
So, if our goal is to merely give a fresh batch of Foxes and Suckups a job, let's keep on doing what we're doing. Nothing will get better, but we won't have the bully boys kicking in our doors and dragging us off to some hidden torture prison. But if we want real change, look out!
