July 5, 2009: Yesterday we celebrated our 233rd birthday, and I wonder just how long the United States of America will continue as the country originally founded. From major issues such as the administration's desire to be in charge of everything, to some calls for changing the inscription on the Statute of Liberty to one more in tune with the times, there appears to be no question that this country is undergoing some might dramatic changes.
Now everyone understands that, like it or not, changes do take place. Changes in technology, fo good or bad, develop like kudzu in the South. And like kudzu, once that's in place, changes now made or planned will sweep forward quicker than they can be stopped. Once political and economic changes have been made, we're going to be stuck with them for quite a while - for enough time that the younger generations (including those persons born now and in the future) will accept them until they, too, feel that their life could be better, and a new revolution takes place.
Unfortunately, it appears that, while we're finding more people - especially Democrats, are unhappy with our economic and political conditions, the only action being taken is verbal, when what is needed is physical movement.
Again, I ask, where, oh where, is today's George Washington - a true and honest leader in whom we can all believe and follow? Do we have to wait until the guacomole hits the fan, or what?
Maybe I have been spoiled by having lived so long in a society that has been the envy of the world, regardless of whatever warts it may have. I know that the growing number of our citizens who have not truly experienced the greatness of this country cannot appreciate what is being lost, buit perhaps if they would listen to those of us who have actually experienced life in the United States, they might begin to gain an appreciation of what it is the current administration, including our legislature, will cause them to miss.
