There was an election in the south that was won with a political "war chest"of just,$200,000.The over indulgent opposition had spent millions to overwhelm the Politician of a lesser god.For once the People spoke with a loud and clear voice.
Millions or not, that candidate lost in a big way.The people/voters/people who have watched quietly past performance,fix the future for themselves.Thats the way it should be.To be able to say,"Your money won't fix what is wrong,Only a better choice will do so.That is the key to fixing our nations woes.
Each human has the ability to think and create independently if given the freedom to do so.Each of us has the idea of what is a better life that we would like for ourselves.
Each of us is either a leader or a follower of others.It is what is comfortable in our personal strengths.The better we live our own lives the more people realize that we are people to respect.A person to respect as a leader of those who would follow on whatever the quest.So where is this going as to your interest you might ask?
The above mention of the money versus The peoples interest is this:A group of people with money and interests in buying our freedom of choice changed the donation laws awhile ago.The very wealthy can give massive amounts of money to buy the "right choice".I am sorry to see that occur in a nation where the Electoral College sorta replaced the individuals vote long ago.So how does the tiny local elections change Our entire country?The local election is our mouthpiece to those who forget who voted for them when they are elected into office.We can hammer local elected with what is wrong.When they get hammered enough with many voters speaking up,it is passed up the chain to those forgetful folks.But the reason is a small
comparison to a construction of our house that follows below.
Think of our Nation as a house We are building.The first construction is the foundation.It has to be built to be strong enough to bear the weight of massive loads as the house is constucted in the future.Bad or weak foundation and the house is going to be subject to the first storm that blows through.Strong-it withstands.Weak-it falls.
Next the walls need to be built with enough support to keep the elements that would threaten the inhabitants.those walls are the first line of safety and security the inhabitants have for a long time.
Next in our pseudo building is the environmental conditions to keep us comfortable.
without this we perish from the environment.Those conditions are inportant so the majority of folks can live a compromise for everyone inside.Those conditions allow us to live in an agreed on harmony with others living inside.The conditions that give us the personal freedoms without living up to anyone elses standards.
Next comes the roof that sheds the rain and keeps us from the heat of day,cold of night.The roof sheds all the environmental extremes that would threaten our lives and livelyhoods.Built with care and thought,this house would be a safe place to live and bring up a family.A safe,warm secure place to feel you are going to improve with future upgrades as needed.
Our Nation is the same as that would be house.The foundation was built by our forefathers long ago.The dream of a safe place to live for all families.They did thier best to build a solid foundation on which to build a home for the future.Changes were expected as any house goes through from time to time.The changes would normaly strengthen the structure while enhancing it.
The walls of our nation was to set the rules of what could pass into our house to ensure our families safety.Those walls are needed as the roof would be.To be able to have some control of what enters our house is as natural a need as anything.If you can not assure the safety of your family,then why even build the house with walls?
Those who believe otherwise should feel quite safe to move thier family into a city
park to sleep and dwell.They will quickly see why a houses walls are mandatory.
The roof is a device to cover us from any elements that would fall on us.A roof protects us from the uncontrollable environments that are part of our world.The roof covers us from as much of those things that we may never even see coming,but really would have no control over.It stops most of what would take control and make our lives miserable.These things are the same in relation to our Nation and its building that still is being modified to strengthen or weaken its structure.
If we tinker with the solid foundation in our infinite wisdom,Our house begins to weaken in respect to the great imbalance of weight above that foundation.Once built,the foundation must only be strenthened from the original plan.removing parts of any foundation serves to make the entire house weakened,compromising everything.The house will begin to become destabilized,endangering everyone living within.The collapse exposing inhabitants to the exterior elements.
Not having strong walls means that anything or anyone can pass into the house without any effort.Compromising the safety and sanctity of that structure.Perhaps even doing the irresponsible damage from within.The house is not thiers and they would have not lost anything by the internal damage.Borders are walls that are unseen.They protect us from outside elements.Not all are bad elements for sure.
Most are the same as what is welcome inside the house.That is why we placed doors in the walls.To welcome entry.The elements strong enough to pass through walls are
elements such as twisters ETC.Most houses hope never to see such elements.They can be destructive in nature.The forces are at best uncontrolled and eventually overload the houses structural spaces.
Last but not(never least) least is the roof.I can't imagine a house in many places with environment that can be challenging at best.The roof is our Constitutional Rules.
It's still protecting us from the unknown, from the element of the Human factor.The element of the "Human Factor"is a term that I use to explain the last 50Plus orso wanabe dictators/leaders/world conquerers/self inflated losers who would set thier pathetic standards for every living person even if they have to kill them all,to do so.
The lastest craze is for a few self appointed individuals to tinker with rules that have protected and made strong our nation for as long as the Roman Empire.Like the Roman Empire,our nation is beginning to rule by Dictation of our laws.The President can sign into law anything he wishes.A Govenor can cancel whatever Constitutional article he or she wishes.The Senate or congress can vote on whatever and the leader of that body can simply order an over ride on that vote.neat and LEGAL???The Supreme Court passes mandates that make our founders turn over in thier graves outa shear disbelief.The Helicopters hover over our homes with anticipation of armed encounter from??who?Citizens seem more apt.to be home invaded by armed thugs sporting some special governmental interest instead of criminals...wait a minute,let me think about that statement...nah you think about it!
The elections much as other places these days seem to be by purchase of the biggest buck.Those Roman ruins that seem to always be a lavish mansion are found made of marble ETC.Those are the elite folks that could afford that sort of home.The poor that lived in poverty had huts made of sticks.Those humble homes fell into dust with time.Will our house be one found in the future as enviable and long lasting?I would hope this next series of elections are not going to be by the holy buck.My folks always said money is the root of all evil.That seems to pass into those buying elections too.
Till next time dear readers,take care of your lives and remember that the choices in life you make should be based on things you can prove as factual.
Scams are perpetratrated on those not interested in learning the facts.anything to good to be the truth,usually is too good to be true.
