There is a wonderful old saying that, as best I recall, goes something like this :
“There is unity in purpose even if it is with those of us who willing sing and march to the tune of our Leaders as they lead us merrily over the CLIFF!”
And then, here is another curious observation! It revolves around the clever double entendre as follows: If your in a “fix”, what you need is a “fix”!
In short, the Country is in a “fix” as it appears the momentum toward a march “…merrily over the CLIFF!” seems unavoidable and, as I see it, a “fix” is most definitely in order.
Historically, these cataclysmic threats have come and gone many times and it is fair to consider that the horizons looming threat is just another of what will no doubt be the preamble to more, still, I’m prone to wonder as to the big question. Why? Not why does “it” happen, but more importantly, why do we permit “it” to occur!
As it goes to Political perspectives I’m more of a Libertarian but I readily admit that’s only a half-truth! I’ve not found a great companion “ism” to ally myself with and I suppose I should, one day, craft an appropriate “ism” to colorfully adorn myself with. After all, everyone needs a Club to exclude others from and, lest I omit, one to be a victim of! Right? Yes, if you wonder, I’m not only poking fun at Politics, I’m chastising the process albeit with not a particularly powerful degree of scorn!
Look at the Political Process now waging its war (before us) against reason, character and identity. I observe John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton – the current front runners for the Office! And I present the question to you AGAIN! WHY?
I’m concerned that we have reached a point in history where Benjamin Franklin’s great fear may be playing itself out before our very eyes! Which is to say not only have we lost the ideal of Democracy, but we may in fact no longer deserve it!
I’m tormented by the political process and media that has turned the function of oversight into a type of game show with the host barking, with the most sincere and learned furrowed brow they can muster, the virtues of their respective Candidate and their Party!
There’s no intellectually sound discourse regarding the “fix” the Country is in and the “fix” for getting the Nation out of it! There is however, a jubilant band of Media and Political Hustlers with their batons in conspicuous unity leading the charge and the Masses gather, the euphoria of “ode de ignoramus” is intoxicating and of course, there are others gathering and, well, they look like us, and well they did say we’ll get richer, safer, healthier, more equality, and judgment of any kind will no longer be permitted, and we’ll not have to do anything that we don’t want to and we’ll all be good friends and there will be tax credits for Prius Owners (notice I said Owners, you don’t have to drive it, just have to own one) and we’ll all live happily ever after! So long as you vote for “Ainbamnton” !
I’m SPENT! I ask the question again ! Why? Am I the only one who’s observing the wholesale melt-down of a Nation?
The “Plain of Providence” includes the possibility that will not prohibit access to the “Canyon of Oblivion”!
“Hey, YOU, get back in line! Signed: J.B.H. Ainbamnton” (J. mccAIN, B. oBAMa, H. cliNTON)
God help us!!!! That may be the only possibility!
There is more to come on “ A FIX” ! Do stay tuned!
