So Here we Go Again: The tail Wagging the Dog

Who ever said that America had it right? What we have said,however, is that we knew right from WRONG. That, my dear friends, is a very different proposition than what we are faced with today.

Have you looked at and listened, for example, to the Tea Party? Have you Looked at what they represent? Try this on: they are a lunatic fringe well beyond the beleaguered republican, inept democratic, disappearing conservative and out of business independent parties. They are ready to fill in the void of "the leadership vacuum" that has plagued out nation since the year 2000.

If you think I exaggerate look at the way the nation and world is handling the current economic and international political crises. The West is held hostage by Iran and its allies Turkey and Venezuela, The greed of US companies such as Goldman Sachs has plunged Europe into an economic wasteland.

We watch as the gold coasts of Louisiana, Florida and the Eastern-Atlantic run the risks of being destroyed by corporate greed and no planning. We fight two wars without purpose, and we are playing" I win, You lose" on every major issue facing the nation and world. " Drill, baby drill, seems to have no cache these days, as SP is silent as she builds her fortune and has no intent of running for anything(thank the Goddess). BTW, she is a darling of the Tea Party advocates.

Oh me, are there simple answers? No. Are there people of good will willing to compromise and include solutions that care for most concerns? No.

Who rules the world dialog? The demagogues on the air waves in all languages in the world's major countries, the world governments' self interested staffs, and finally WE THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION AND EVERY OTHER CIVILIZED NATION OF THE WORLD WHO SIMPLY DO NOT CARE FOR OUR FELLOW MAN!

If you think this is depressing, try waking up tomorrow and alter the direction.

Guess what? I do! Each and every day. I think, I write, I take part, I influence and here comes the real punch: I LOVE.

Yes, that is the answer. Love, reach out, make unselfish decisions about little and big things in your life. Be sure your family, friends, village, city, country and world is making it.

Heroine: Jane Wells does!!! Check out her website and work on Darfur. She is a lady who can afford,frankly, to sit at home, make tea and not bother herself with issues.

Instead she, her husband Jon and children have traveled to Dafur many times to call attention to the genocide and systematic destruction of a whole race of people! Look at Jane's website, 3 Generations, a 501c3 Not-for-Profit-organization, to find out how to get out side your self and change the world.

Well, here is the good news: we count, we make a difference, we must speak and act up and we LOVE AND ARE LOVED.
