It seems both entrenched political party's have a death grip on acquiring and maintaining the power and wealth that comes with it. I hoped the American people would figure that out, but unfortunately and I misquote directly from Benjamin Franklin, this republic with government of, for, and by the people will only last until the people can vote themselves anything they want.
Have I lost all hope? Not all simply because I place my ultimate faith in God, but I have little faith left in the men that lead and would lead us.
My Dad's advice was always hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I figure after that, the rest is just farming. Who knows what the weather will do, I just know what must be done.
I hope we haven't gone too far down the road we're on, past the point of no return, but we'll soon find out.
The last quarter of the year looks like a wild ride and I pray events don't tear us apart.
Looking at the calendar ahead, before the Mayans get us in December, Israel takes out the Iranian nuke plant starting WWIII and/or the economies of Greece, Spain and Italy tank, followed by Europe's, then ours and/or some predicted election loss insanity escalated to a lesser civil war, and/or there is an EMP strike that takes down our various electrical and communication grids followed by invasion or, worst of all, obama is reelected...yikes!
Yep, gotta go with faith in God to stay sane in this world!
