I am quite alarmed at the current state of our country. Many of our current “representatives” seem to be intent on waging war on the founding ideals of our country. They do not like living in a meritocracy and wish to kick the doors of opportunity closed on those who are still trying to “get theirs”. They are perfectly content to govern against the will of the constituency that they are supposed to represent.
But, what can I do about it? I talk to my co-workers but they really don’t seem all that interested.
Several months ago, one of my customers at work gave me his personal e-mail address and asked me to start sending him stuff to read.
I delayed because finding concise, clear information is challenging. Sure, there is lots being written and reported, but what is truly important? What will help someone who knows nothing because they have been getting their “news” from the mainstream media to truly become informed? Where can I point him without wasting a bunch of his time?
I e-mailed the first link to an article today. I e-mailed him a few hours later to see if he had found and read the article.
I wasn’t ready for his response:
“Yes it did…. WOW….amazing stuff….I couldn’t get through it all…I’m taking a break….. Holy Sh**…. “
I have been educating myself for the past seven months and had forgotten how devastating the truth can be. Then it came back to me.
I would learn something about our government that was just too crazy to be true. Do I face reality even though it felt like I was living in a very bad dream or do I stick my head in the sand and pretend that everything will be fine?
I was often shaken as if I had just received a powerful blow to the sternum.
I am going to help him wake up. We will see where it leads…
