Politics seem to be the best we know how to do when it comes
to running such a big country. I find
that frightening, because politics have nothing to do with right and
wrong. They have to do with getting
votes one way or another.
Money talks.
Especially in a culture where most people don’t read and study the
issues on their own and like to be hand fed as painlessly as possible.
It seems to me that we are perilously close to a government
by the few where the rich make all the decisions for “the good” of the rest of
the people.
As long as everyone tunes in to his or her favorite channel
for the “truth” that fits their own needs we are at risk.
Sometimes it is necessary to step out of our comfort zone
and look at things from way back. The
big picture is never as simple as special interests groups would like it to
look.
Don’t believe anyone, especially people who tell you they
“know” what God thinks, or what is in your best interests. If you believe in God you must believe he
created this whole world, not just your little corner of it. Putting God in the corner is never a good
idea.
Everyone
in our country needs to think long and hard about what is hovering before us,
because if we don’t we will get to experience it first hand.
