A VIEW - MY VIEW - ANOTHER VIEW

I haven't looked at any blogs this morning so who knows I might be sorry or redundant in writing this. Oh well!

The election is over. everyone had or has their opinion about those running. (All whole bunches of them-therewere several) Gloating or twisting the knife has no real place in this or any election. not even in everyday life. Amanda and Jessica said there were fights at school; racial comments made; and generally a very poor attitude adopted by quite a few. CHILDREN ! AND THAT INCLUDES THE ADULTS !!! My neighbor who lives around the block had his election signs in his yard taken. BAD FORM!! I stopped by his house and told him that I was sorry about that action. That dosen't make me good or nice for doing that it just makes me a neighbour.

I don't agree with many of our president elects positions but it is my, and your, duty to support him in his office and in the actions he takes as long as they are good and honest. It is also our duty to oppose those actions if you don't agree with them. You do this by voteing, e-mailing, writing letters and stating your opinion; sometimes loudly !

There is great danger in following blindly. Many people do. They are not good citizens (?) They are sheep of the worse discription. ( Following Christ as sheep is another matter) Blindly following leads to oppression. Remember this. All those we place in office work for us. We don't work for them. Many in office forget that. Don't let them.

I'm beginning to fear that if we as a nation don't pay attention and soon we will be in big trouble. For many years the politically connected have been acting like rulers instead of governing by consent. Your elected officials are answerable to you who elected them. You, we, are the ones in power. Take it, keep it, or lose everything.

monday morning randommmmmm; randommmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ok so it's really monday afternoon. I was supposed to being going to take a trip but we 're not going so I got two weeks off and while there's lots to do I'm going to be lazy.

went to arkeydelphia sat. for Eli's performance during halftime and sat with joseph, andrea , jimmy and his oldest. the game was really quite good. at least in the last two min. color guard was great. I was proud. (like a father should, would and always will be) my my but time flies and all my grils get better looking as time passes.

going out to dinner tonight - nov. 3 and all - time really does fly

I'm glad all my children (soap opera) are well. all except the democrat amoungst us. needs orienting but otherwise seems to be a good guy. I'm afraid we will soon be living in an extream (?) socialist state. may be time to move to a less extream (?) socialist country. anyway, all those who have been more than happy to share all that you have will now be in control and will for sure share all that you have or will ever have. maybe we should all stop filing our tax returns. stop paying our health insurance premiums. stop producing anything at all so that we can share in the wealth that will be produced after we are no longer producing.

sorry bout the soap box. just longing for the days when we had the illusion of freedom. even that may be taken away.

all that my father served for.(and in the end died for.) all that my mother served for. and all that all those who served in any way, served for, may well be lost. say what you will about it or about my views. watch!

now on the bright side. no one has yet told me I can't have a cigar; so that is whaty I'm going to do.

I miss all of you and look forward to being together at various times in the next few weeks.

yes Jennifer I'm still going to pay your plain ticket here. no she didn't ask just thought I'd remind her.

LOVE
