Where are we going?

I wonder today as I watch my children play in the floor, what kind of world are they going to grow up in? It is obviously not the same one that I remember as a young child. When I was growing up things always seemed simpler mayber they were or maybe we just cannot compehend anything but the simplist of things until we mature a bit.
One thing I have never seen in my lifetime (short by some accounts, long by my kids accounts lol) have I ever seen so many small buisnesses go OUt of buisness, not have I seen my govt. become involved in any private buisness, ever. When did it become ok for our tax money to get used in ways that we do not agree to? I thought this is why we elected a Senate and a House of Representatives, but it seems that the ones there have begun to treat their jobs as something they are entitled to. Arlen Spector is a perfect example of one that "refuses to let his future be determined by voters" those pesky voters, how dare they end his reign! they are just the ones who have put him there and allowed him to live a life of opulence while others live a life of hardship.
Do not misread me, I am all for pulling yourself up and making somehting of yourself. That is the great thing about our country youi can do that! you cannot accomplish such things in other countries. We are the luckiest on the planet, we don't have to wait for rations offood, or healthcare, or any other nessessity, all we have to do is jaunt down to the Wal mart or target or any other market. We forget that women and men in other countries cannot do that, they live under oppressive laws and tyrannical governments. People that think it is so bad here never seem to get that passport and move on too their eutopia, gee I wonder why!

I hope that my children will inheret a country that more closely resembles the one I remember. One that allows the states to make the important decisions involving their people. One where the federal govt. understands that it's role is not to tellus or gently persuade us to live a certain way or to buy stupid lightbulbs that are an enviromental hazard in themselves (sorry little rant there) or for that matter cars that when they break down or are totalled in a wreck become a huge enviromental hazard because of their batteries. Has Obama thought the ramification of his new green engergy through? NO he toldpeople what they wanted to hear and unfortunately they listened, or as my cousin says I voted for him b/c he was going to win n e ways. Way to go cuz u just wasted the most powerful thing you have, dimwit!

Small buisnesses are dissappearing, the govt, is getting into lives more than ever now giving us money to buy a new car, u cant drive that car that only get 23 miles to the gallon! shame on you.
Does anyone realize that the emmissions of a typical car has improved over 95% since the 70's? of course not, that dosen't jive man!

So in my rambling little way I encourage all of you to find your own facts, depend on no one to tell you what it is because all you will get is their version of it. Don't be a lemming, walk your own path and live for a higher power one that will always lead you home!

God Bless and help us to find our way!
