I read a lot about how people are getting high off of bath salts, and synthetic marijuana. Recently Urbana Ohio, a small town, has banned the sale or possession of these drugs at the city level until the State of Ohio bans it completely.
I recently heard that people on Social Security may not be getting their check August 8th. However, the individuals that are holding up that process, will still collect their paycheck.
It is unfortunate that we live in a society where our government that is ungoverned messes everything up at the expense of people that have less power, money, and resources than they. It is horrifying to to know that the housing market, auto industry, healthcare industry and jobs and the pursuit of happiness of obtaining the American Dream is now a nightmare. The politicians decide how, when, where, and to what extent of your pursuit to happiness.
The Bible talks about Sodom and Gomorrah, and how God open the ground and swallowed up those people that rebelled against Him. Welcome to modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, it is part of the end of times prophecy for our country to be in shambles and eventually we too will be swallowed up, figuratively speaking.
We cannot depend on the government that is anti-American, anti-humanity, anti-trustworthy, anti-God to help us get out of out current situation especially as they are the reason were in it. We can only help each other. The government cuts funding for non-profits, they cut money for education, for fire, police, and medic. 40% of our dollar is outsourced to pay other countries that we owe. Once that money is gone-it's gone, it's never coming back. The national debt is ridiculous; but who is really the blame...the government or the people that vote them into office or those that don't vote at all. Sounds like one heck of a poker game, that's rigged, and the winner is already determined, plus the American public is paying for the chips.
I say get a grip, I'm not cynical, I can only express the truth logically as I don't allow my emotions to interfere with the decisions I cannot fully make. With all this that's going on bath salts and synthetic weed should be on the smallest scale of things to worry about. Let's not have a war on drugs, let's have a war on politicians and take back our Country from the group of criminals sitting in Washington. I bet at least half or more of people that get high are high because they are suffering the repercussions of what politicians have done or not done. Just saying.
Please leave comments, I am interested in other's opinions whether you agree with me or not-It's a Free Country and I'm proud to be an American, at least the America it use to be.
WOW! I had no idea that you did blogs like this. I will have to start reading more. I agree with you on what you are saying... Just keep in mind also that we do not vote in our president like everyone thinks that we do. We vote the people in who make the vote for the pres., (the electoral college) It is unfortunate now in this day and age. I am sure that this law was needed when the constitution was made, however I do not feel that it is needed any longer. There are so many things that have changed in our country over the centuries that I believe that since we can all vote now, the electoral college should become null and void. There are a lot of other things that I could go on about that I do not agree with our government on. However this is all that I will write for tonight. gretchen.
ReplyDeleteGretchen, Thanks for commenting and yes I could go on and on too about my beliefs on government and politics, however I'm not much to blog or post about politics, heaven forbid that I may need a job someday and my future employer reads what I wrote, then disagrees with me, calls me a cynic, and then not offer me the job. At least now in social media ethics, blogging and posting on politics and religion are no nos. I can't change they way things are in Washington, just like you said we vote so someone else can vote, since I am 2 degrees of separation from the Presidential Vote, I choose to make a difference in the communities I serve, by helping people find jobs, helping non profits raise money for their cause, and at the same time trying to find my own way and continue the pursuit of happiness.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully put, Like you Tony and I try to help out in our community, what we do may not be much, but it is what we are able to do. The sad thing is that most people don't really understand what or how the government and houses are set up or how they are elected. We learn it in high school, however most people either didn't care enough then and didn't pay attention, or whatever the situation may have been. I think that it would be beneficial to all Americans to take a Government class to "brush up" on how it works then go from there on trying to change things. Maybe then we can gain more power in what is done on a higher level. Gretchen.
