Our Magnificent Founding Fathers
4-8-2018
“Just think about it for a moment!” No telephones, no telegraphs, no televisions or radios, little in the way of sanitation, and nothing but a horse and/or buggy to get them around? Hell, many of them didn’t even have that, relying instead upon their own two feet alone for motivation! As a matter of fact, word of mouth was their primary media source, and a journey that takes us but an hour or two today, took them days or longer! Of course, many of them did not know any better, just as those who will follow our paths in a hundred years or so, will also marvel at how we managed to survive getting around at a mere 70 or so miles an hour on our four lane highways, or crawling through the air at a mere 500 miles an hour by airplane! “Our Magnificent Founders”, on the other hand, had to content themselves with their own ingenuity, individual guts, foot-power and fortitude, never really knowing for sure what the fruits of their selfless labors might be – not for sure in either case? And yet, we still have to listen to politicians bitching about how rotten the opposition party is, how much better things would be with them in control, and how theirs’ is the only way to heaven – “BULL!” Now I am not saying that anyone has all of the answers, or even that any one political faction is always right? What I am saying is that if you really believe that any bureaucrat that has ever lived, is out for the people alone, then is it any wonder why the world is in such a screwed-up state today, war is a reoccurring fact if life, and our own people (and even religious factions as well) can not even seem to get along from one minute until the next? “DREAM ON!” Hardcore
