and it does seem we are operating in different paradigms. Since am not being shot at today .. and still above ground, it is a Great Day to Be Alive. Now if the question is ... am I overjoyed our representatives are up to their take from the producers and give to the non-producers then the answer is no. Each of us are all lovers of peace. History does say there is war, followed by peace, followed by war, followed by peace, followed by war, and so it will be till eternity. Do I want to give up peace, for that matter do you want to give up peace for war? Throughout History, Americans have been slow to anger. Maybe the question is why are Americans slow to anger? Maybe the answer is sacrificing peace for war can and will be viewed as coming but why should as I, as an American, fire that first shot? I maybe will be forced to fire a shot or shots. None of us ever know. Most of us pray though, God make my aim true if it should be Willed by You, Lord. Perhaps, your thought will be this one; no answer did my post recieve and perhaps you will be correct, this time, for time is a teller, where each of us lives in the abstract. Not pretty but the curse under which all of us live.
The whole point I'm trying to make here, is that our window to resolve the great divide of our day without war, is rapidly closing.
I'm not advocating violence in any way. I'm advising against responding to the treason that beset us, with the same failed modus operandi as before.
We need to take a lesson from the civil rights era. It wasn't rioting that turned the nation's heart and soul toward realizing our founding precepts. It was a large and continued presence of those seeking redress of grievances, coupled with the time honored methods of civil disobedience.
We must step up what we're doing, or our window to (more or less) peacefully resolve this thing, will close, leaving us with only one remaining option. I don't want it to get that far, and I don't think you do either.
