By the people for the people


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.
