Just a quick question for you. When was the last time the government took over something and made it work better than it worked before?

The Answer: 1776 - 1792

That is correct. They took over governing the country from a despot (who in my humble opinion was a bit cracked) and devised the only government in the world based on the 10 commandments and a touch of history (Roman for the uninitiated) and came up with a way for independent people to live together.

We are no longer a nation of the independent looking for our own better way. Unfortunately the dependent peoples of the world came, some from every country out there. Now we are rapidly becoming a dependent nation doomed to failure because the government has chosen to ignore the wisdom of old for the stupidity of the new. Such is life. When anarchy comes there may be a chance for those who remember to carve out a new country of hope based on the laws of wisdom but I cannot foresee where or when exactly. I fear that I shall live to see the anarchy but not the reawakening of independence. A famous American once said "Give me liberty or give me death." and in that statement is the difference between slavery (governmental slaver, which is our current course) and freedom.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is now a thing of the past. (Till anarchy passes)

To all you politicians: a vote for government run medical stuff is a vote against me. The government has the responsibility to those who have served it in the armed services, as promised upon enlistment, but not to the general public.... I will remember.

You really don't get what that means do you? Oh well, you can't educate the don't knows if they don't realize the necessity of accepting or redirecting change. Or recognizing that when a politician uses the word change, they don't refer to a natural process but to the manipulation of the masses to suite their own ends. And by the by, it isn't for your benefit at all. Not for mine either, come to that. Socialist health care, governmental health care, whatever you want to call it, will cost you your freedom. Maybe not totally in this generation, but down the line that change will come. Anarchy then revolution. Which one way will you go?

Maybe Charlie Daniels was on to something........

For me it means I'm in Lakeland. It also means I passed a ton of yard sales and such. I didn't stop. {believe it or not}

Just a random thought that occurred to me. That happens with alarming regularity. Have you noticed the not-so-subtle erosion of rights that America is experiencing? I am now a terrorist in the eyes of the alleged government. Why, you ask. Because I have military training. I believe homosexuality as it is called these days, is a sin in the eyes of the Creator, which means no heaven for them if they are not willing to yield to God. The government views me as homophobic and intolerant. Intolerant maybe , but I am not afraid of the homosexual. I just believe that it is both sinful to have "same sex" sex as well as illogical. Because you fail to grasp the difference between a christian and a fundamentalist does not mean that I am wrong. I know I am not wrong. I am a plain old christian. I do not wish to rule the world nor do I wish to tell others what to choose. But I do want everyone to know that all choices have consequences and choices that involve God should take His views into consideration. I am willing to stand up to the consequences of believing God knows what He is doing and I will deal with whatever comes my way from that basic belief. I know it sounds cliche' but I accept and practice the "love the sinner but hate the sin" view. At least I try to, but it is difficult to love someone that blows up children in the name of a false prophet or from a faulty view of God. While killing in general is wrong to me, there are times where the actions of individuals and groups generate a necessity for such actions. Suicide is wrong but it is ok if you jump on a grenade to save your fellow man. God has the capacity to understand each and every motive of our heart and I think the true motive of our heart is something we seldom give much thought. If we did understand our own motives I think we would be terrified of what we sometimes think. Don't you think so??

To all you english teachers out there, my apologies. I have a huge sinus headache and no grammar checker for this program.
