Just One Person




I know there are many of you out there that sit and think, ”But I’m just one person, how can I do ANYTHING?” Well, you aren’t just one person. You’re one person who cares. That caring part means a lot. Mother Teresa was one person who cared, so was Mahatma Gandhi. They didn’t just sit and feel helpless and hopeless. They did something. You can too.

I am just one man, but I care. My actions affect the people around me because I don’t sit and hide in a corner. People know what I’m about, and I’m not afraid of some government jack-booted thug who is going to try to stop me from expressing my opinion. Sure there’s going to be some who disagree with me, but I make certain they know I don’t have the same opinion.

Now, if you have been reading along and agree with me, then obviously you aren’t alone, are you? Secondly if you do care, then you have the will to do something. Do it. Go and let others know your opinion. Meet with those who agree with you. Form a group. Even if it’s a weeknight dinner once a month, just get together. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Now where did that come from…?

Ditch the “I’m a victim” mentality, that’s what those who wish to subdue you want you to do. Find your God given talents and exploit them the fullest of your ability. If you don’t know what your talent is, find it. Stop fitting into the mould, start making your own. If you want Hope, and Change you can believe in, then Hope, and change yourself into something you believe in. You are the American Government, not some elected official, or ABCXYZ letter Agency. The political power of this Nation resides in YOU, the individual. Those guys they call the government, well they’re just your delegated representatives. You can hire them, and You can fire them. They work for You, so remind them of that every chance you get.

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”
Helen Keller

Cash is King...Or is it?

Well here we go. Federal Government is increasing Debt to all time highs. The Fed is printing money faster than the ink can dry, all the while telling us the recovery is at hand. Things don’t seem to be getting better, but so far the dollar hasn’t inflated much in spite of the huge printing run. Why is that? Because we’re all hoarding the stuff! Think about it. If the fed is printing more money, but everyone is hoarding money, the relative volume of cash stays the same. It’s not until we the people go out and start trying to spend our hoarded up money that inflation will set in. And it will, and once it does our economy will see the BIG dip. And since the federal government is up to it’s eyeballs in debt, there will be little recourse on their part. In fact at the G20 Summit, the other nations of the world are seriously wanting to get rid of the American Dollar as the international currency of trade! If China stops buying all of our government bonds, the Debt of America, our currency value will drop like a lead brick. Imagine paying upwards of ten dollars a gallon for gasoline, or five for a loaf of bread? Our lives are so based on foreign trade that America no longer stands on it’s own anymore. So America will go Bankrupt. And our creditors will buy up our federal land, our military equipment, our gold and oil reserves, pretty much everything that makes America great will be gone. And your couple of thousand in cash? Gone so fast you blinked and missed it. Your wages won’t be adequate for feeding your family. Cash will be all but worthless and the necessities of life will be more valuable than bricks of gold. Food, clean water and shelter will be invaluable as people are driven from their no longer affordable homes. Shanty towns will form and everything will be pretty close to the great Depression, except this time we will have enemies with nuclear arsenals. They will laugh and laugh at our prideful stupidity as we allowed ourselves to implode.
What can you do? Here's an idea, buy one full months worth of non-perishable food. This is good advice regardless of what may come, because if anything bad happens, food shortages will be the first problem. “But I need the cash if I lose my job!” You reply. What do you think you’re going to be spending that cash on!? Buy food supplies now, it’s not paranoia, it’s common sense. If where you live floods, you can’t drive to the grocery store. Tornado could blow the store away. Any number of things could cause you to be unable to go grocery shopping. Be smart and take care of your family. Cash is only worth what you can buy with it.

Adulthood

How we all like to think that we are adults, and yet so many are just children are growing older each year. Just what separates children from adults? A magical birthday? It’s quite difficult to believe such an arbitrary statement! How can one so easily differentiate between two individuals. How many of us know someone who in spite of being over 30 years old, can still not seem to get themselves together? Legally, we call them adults, but they are in actuality aging children. To be an Adult, one must behave in a manner congruent with adult behavior. Now, we all have our moments of weakness, which is only human; but if you are struggling with simple adult behaviors such as:
living on your ownholding a jobmaintaining a steady relationship
you should really consider your position in life. Addiction and obsession are not adult behaviors. Neither is vindictiveness, boisterousness or any number of other unethical attitudes. Sexual Promiscuity is NOT an adult behavior, for it is instant gratification of immature desire. And just who am I to tell you about it? Well, I’ve acted in far worse capacity than anything written here, and somehow miraculously survived the ordeal. Is it easy being a responsible adult? Absolutely not! However, America needs adults, not more children. And if you need more incentive to get your act together, I’ll leave you with this.
Women: YOU are the founders of America’s next generation, of its leaders, and it’s losers. Do you really, really think that that loser sleazeball is going to get his act together, get a real job and be a real father to your children? Nope? Me either, and just how many loser dads father brilliant successful children? The odds are not in your favor. Cut your losses, find a real man and have winner babies. America is counting on you. By the way, if you’re into going out to bars getting drunk and taking the first horny guy that approaches you, don’t expect any real men to come calling, cause no matter how hot you are, you’re unattractive morally.
Men: We all know what our other head tells us to do. But if you can’t handle the consequences, keep that shotgun holstered.
If you do happen to be a loser dad with abandoned kids, it may not be too late. Swallow your quite undeserved pride, ditch your vices, get to work, and apologize profusely for being the POS that you have been. Then get your sorry butt a decent place for children to visit, maybe even live. Give up your recreations, they will slow you down, and you are already behind the power curve. Learn how to be a man, a real man. I’m not talking about macho movie men, that’s fiction. A man that knows how to love, protect and lead a family, that’s the kind of man you must be. It’s a daunting task, and you will receive little help in today’s society, although Church helps. In fact I don’t know that this task can be accomplished outside of divine intervention, so prayer will be necessary. Don’t think it’s possible? I did it. It’s about 3 years of pure Hell, but well worth it.
And for all: If you are unattractive in some way, it’s most likely because you are unfit to pass your genetic material on to the next generation. That sounds harsh, I know, but in reality 90 percent of unattractiveness can be remedied with diligence and hard work. If your dumb, read some books. If your fat, exercise and eat better. If your skinny, go work out. It’s not overnight, and it’s not magic. Jesus Christ himself had no attractive physical attributes, yet he is loved by millions the world over. Because really, at the end of the day, attractiveness has little to do with outside appearance. And if you are an adult you already know that.
Courtesy to my loving wife for the bible verse:
"If we please God, he will make us wise, understanding, and happy. But if we sin, God will make us struggle for a living, then he will give all we own to someone who pleases him."Ecclesiastes 2:26
