Dick, thank you very much for taking the time and patience to respond to my, well.. post with a very erudite, well thought and well written reply. I would have replied sooner but I went to bed early last night and left early for work this morning. It was humbling and I agree with much of what you said and how you feel, I do and I thought your videos were very good, very informative. “Larry’’ could be everyman really. And here comes the ‘’but’’. First of all I wouldn’t want to ever see the American people fighting and killing each other—again.I’m not nor would ever advocate one class or group be pitted against each of in bloodshed. That’s not entirely what I meant. It isn’t the American people who are the problem but to cut straight to it, this current government and to an extent the previous one has clearly and I would say almost irrevocably LOST TOUCH and CONCERN for the will of We The People. Yes of course as you point out about politics being local and the beauty of the voters being able to ‘’punch the ticket’’’ of our representitives every 2 years but clearly this situation has become increasingly intolerable and while yes I understand Mr. Jefferson’s observation to the effect that mankind will often ‘’suffer’’ whatever present he has rather then risk the unknown, this isn’t nor should it ever be an observation set in stone. I suppose my frustrations preceeded my reason but you’re right, lets see what sucesses we garner in 2010 but I’d suggest keeping the power dry. The framers left us the right, the obligation and the means to affect change, even drastic change if need be in order that we might find that place ‘’As to them will seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.’’ Thank you again for your response.
Thank you, John.
We’ll be here trying to get the REAL change we need in 2010 just as we know you will in your corner of the world.
And we’ll also be keeping some powder dry just in case things go badly. If present conditions continue, it’s not lookin’ too good for the bad guys.
Cheers.
