Why?

Rich getting poorer, poor getting poorer, the gov't getting richer, dreams getting cloudy, wondering where and how we will make it. And if we make it how will that look. Facing multiple problems and then another problem comes along. Still can't seem to take hold and fix the first problem. Feeling that I am the only one that feels this way and hope there are others but then you don't hope that because you don't want others to be going through and feeling the same but you know there are more. Blaming the gov't for all our problems and the direction our Nation is taking and that is partially true. The truth is the problems our nation is facing is because of years of bad decisions. We rant and rave about the gov't but keep electing the same people or the same kind of people. Keep saying that this next election will fix things and then it will get better, only to be disappointed because the Nation still heads down a road we don't want to travel. We gripe about term limits, when we do have term limits - it called the ballot, Our President, Representative, or Senator is not the problem it's the other guys President, Representative, or Senator that is the problem when in fact it's all of them. We have racial divides and political divides. Can't like this one because he is a Democrat or Republican,  Baptist or a Mormon, a Catholic or a Protestant. Now the Religious views come into play. Does he or she go to church. If they do where and why that church. Why are they this religion and not that one or more specific my religion. It the only true one you know. Why do we complain as a Nation when the government sends money to other countries to help out but we gladly help little Susie or Johnny from down the street go on a mission trip when our own country is the one who needs the Missionaries. Could it be that if "We" do the same thing our Government is doing it makes it OK but we don't want our government doing what we are doing?  We have personal debt but complain about the Government's debt. We don't go to Church but complain that government has taken church out of our schools. Why, where, what the.... are words I hear and say on a daily basis only to get no results accept maybe an ulcer. Maybe, just maybe, Michael Jackson had a small answer to this problem we face when he sang a song that stated "I'm starting with the man in the mirror" Could it be that simple? Yes, if the changes come from a valuable source. Not Dr. Phil or Dr. Ablow but the most valuable source of information and enlightenment we have. The source our founders looked to but we have lost sight of. We thought things were good in our own lives until it fell apart. Wondering what happened and why are we here. The common denominator to this post is simply "Why". We always say we have the answer to our problems but do we really? Electing this guy over that one plays an enormous part of fixing our Nation. Going back to the beginning, I believe is the answer to fixing this Nation of ours. Posting this or that on twitter or facebook isn't going to fix it. This Acer lap top I am using now can't fix it, even though it can get on the world wide web. So what is the answer to the problems we as a people in this great nation face? The same information our Founders had and used will fix this nation if we use it. I'm not talking about the Founders that signed the Declaration, I'm talking about the original Founders, The Pilgrims. They have the answer.  I believe that Kirk Cameron found the answer and made a movie about the answer. The whole thing still revolves around the bible. We have lost our own soul and still try to "save" others.  Does that make us hypocrites?  Has being a nation of hypocrites caused us to go down this road that we don't want to go down?  Remember Communism has no faith and if you do then you will either renounce it or go to prison. Islam is worse. You convert to the Muslim faith or else. This I believe is where our nation is headed and we will end up with one or the other or both if we don't start turning this country back to Christianity.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not the answer to this country but part of the problem. I quit going to church and reading my bible and trying to live a Godly life. But I know down deep inside me that this is the answer to all my problems and yet I still live the life of a hypocrite. Living just like my Government is living and griping about it.  It's really hard when you truly look at yourself and not hide anything from yourself or lie to yourself and it turns out that me and the government are just alike. Its time to change don't you think. Yes it is.......

It's Free, We will pay you, Take it or else. Nudge

While I was at the Dr. office this morning I witnessed Cass Sunstein's "Nudge" personally. I asked the Doctor about Obama Care and he told me what he thought and then he referenced his laptop computer and said that it was from the Government. He told me the government offered it to him free of charge and he told them No Thank You. Then they offered him money to take the laptop, again he told them No Thank You. A third time the Federal Government told him to take it or else they wouldn't pay him.  I'ts nice to know the Federal Government would threaten a Doctor with discontinued payment if he didn't take their laptop.
 After all that another thought gripped me. As I was being examined and poked and prodded on, the Dr. and Nurse were putting all my records on that laptop.  I wasn't asked if I wanted my records on that laptop. Through the act of Congress and Obama, Obama Care/Tax requires me to have my medical records on that laptop. So guess what America, whether you are for or in my case against Obama Care/Tax and you go to a Doctor you have no choice but to comply with Obama Care/Tax, unless you decide to refuse treatment and stay home and hope it gets better. I just got "Nudged"
