Will we ever learn?

"The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on a fallacy. The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves; they are the cause of happiness in others." ~ William Lyon Phelps

I surrender to the idea that Americans are truly as lazy as once thought by most of the world. We continue to rest on our collective laurels, while the powers that are take away our freedoms in the name of freedom. Awkward as it sounds, the liberation of our Nation is not up to republicanist, nor democracist, but the true freedom loving Americans among us that refuse to take it any more.

We must demand ethics in governance and the operation of government, no matter who is in power. The troughs must be emptied and the feeding frenzy stopped before WE starve. The special interest groups, disguised as business development, need to be disemboweled from the feeding tubes of the taxpayers. We can no longer support KBR's and Haliburton's and Enron's of this country while letting the ports be sold to foreign interests.

WAKE UP!
