When someone intentionally starts fires destroying the homes of thousands of wild animals and the vegetation of the mountains
When someone intentionally takes the life of another without just cause
When someone demeans another whether in words or actions
When someone withholds basic sustenance from anyone
When someone controls another person whether emotionally, psychologically or physically
There are many more ways of destroying than these, but the one thing they have in common is SOMEONE.

Think before you vote!
There are so many issues facing the citizens of this great country. How long will we be able to call the USA "this great country"? The economy has not recovered, ethics is at an all time low, morals have decayed dramatically, and on and on. Will there be no end to the struggle for power and control over this vastly populated continent - yes continent.
This is the big election year. There is mud slinging going on from the most insignificant positions up for re-election to the top position of "this great country" and the closer we get to November the worse it will get.
In the last four years has government and its citizens progressed or suffered from the decisions made by our leaders.

Government Shutdown
Where is all the concern? There will not be a government shutdown. This happened several years ago and was a power play which resolved itself in a few weeks.
It is another dramatic tactic to bring attention to our capitol and the power struggle that is this United States. It isn't like they don't have an operational budget. It is because the two political parties are struggling to show strength for their interest.
Budgets are really very simple but really hard to stick to. You have a certain amount of money coming in and you have a certain amount of services to provide. Any shortfall calls for cuts in services and any overage should be dumped in a "savings" account to cover emergencies.
You can't get blood from a turnip and all those legislators that have made promises they now can't keep will have to face the consequences of their mouth overflow. You don't make promises you can't keep.
These knowledgeable people need to get the street smarts of their president and get on with business. After all aren't the political parties no more than organized people fighting for power and control. No where is more crimes committed than on capitol hill and the perpetrators are all covered by diplomatic immunity.
Just a though!

How long will it take?
So many new faces taking office this week or soon thereafter. Their positions or seats won by promising to represent the will of the people; to do away with all the overspending in progress now; and to return freedom to the people of the United States. How long will it last?
How long before the first lobbyist reminds a senator or representative of that campaign contribution that helped get him elected? How long before a lobbyist promises a contribution to ensure re-election? How long before the "let's make a deal" starts and the campaign promises and the constituents are thrown to the wind?
The one thing I have been told or heard by elected officials consistently is "but you don't understand; you don't know how it is." It seems so easy to make promises, plans, and set up objectives that one or two months down the road don't mean a hill of beans. Politicians forget the constituents and grow on the power and the people they are now exposed to and have the ear of. It all comes down to power and control and no matter who is elected or what they promise, power and control take over and they are no longer interested in the wishes or thoughts that put them in office. Friend or foe, it doesn't matter - they are the important ones now and they are making the decisions.
One warning - elections come often. Tread carefully. Now more than ever before the American people are watching and are no longer apathetic to what is going on in their government whether it be local, state, or federal.
Just some thoughts, so until next time . . .
Happy reading!
