Freedom and privacy are both threatened in our modern era. We give up our constitutional rights in exchange for "security", yet the world we live in now is more dangerous than ever before. In the post-9/11 world, terrorism has mushroomed, but I don't need to make much comment about that. It speaks for itself. The chances of you being shot or hurt by a complete stranger has skyrocketed and while I apologize for reporting repeated bad news, we are all responsible for it. Each of us has our part in the way society has developed. None of us are passive players. This is OUR world, this is OUR society and we have screwed it up by our own ugly actions. Treating other human beings (including strangers) well and without insult seems to be handicapped in most people. Creating a mindset that everyone is our enemy creates a world in which everyone becomes our enemy. Walk around planting good seeds and when you cross the same path later you can expect good fruits. Don't throw trash on the ground and come back later shocked to fine a garbage heap. Liberty in our nation has been bought by the blood of Soldiers and we are willingly giving it up now to live in a world where every thought and action is recorded digitally so that we can feel safer. Yet the world is far more dangerous now then at any other time it seems. It is not safer. But it is less free. What we need is not new laws and policies, we need GOOD PEOPLE. More of them and in greater numbers. Legislation keeps honest men honest, but it more or less stops not too far past that point.
Our future is at the doorstep-are we opening the right doors? Or locking the wrong ones? In the last decade or two people have asked if this is the fall of the Great American Empire. It appears to be, but maybe it doesn't have to be. But what if its too late? Is it ever too late to change things? This could be a rebirth of America. Our President is making America great again, I believe. I don't understand or necessarily agree with his all of his methods, but they seem to work. So I am keeping my faith and patience in him, because in my life time I don't know that I ever saw a better President. Perhaps Reagan, but I was too young to appreciate his Presidency. I think we have one of the greatest Presidents in American history. And he will continue to get my well wishes, admiration and prayers towards his well being. If you disagree with me and think that we can't be friends because of that, then you are the immature one and you should probably grow up. Not because you disagree with me, but because you would hinge 'friendship' on something so trivial. People have. I have lost "friends" because of that. God Bless you, God Bless and Protect our President and God Bless America.
