#09 – “Distraction vs. Hopelessness”

America “today” needs “hopefulness”. ….After all, didn’t the immigrants feel “hopeful”. “The streets were paved with gold”! ……America was a source for hope!

The “hopelessness” that today pervades America is brought on by feelings:
a - Our government is against us!
b – Our government is stupid, inept, lacks conviction, just wants votes!
c – The use of “distraction” (by the media T.V., and “pundits’) with such words as “stimulus”, “buy outs”, “social engineering, etc.
d – The “Government” should provide us with everything! …our money, our jobs, our opportunities!

Is it any wonder, that with a “lineup” like that, that America today feels “hopeless”?

If the average person feels betrayed, is it any wonder that the feelings against the government are what they are today?
Does it not follow that the government is stupid, “distracted by political infighting”, fighting each other for the “votes”?

Why, then, should the public want to rely on the Government for “handouts”? (opportunities, jobs, etc.)
Why, then, should the public expect solutions to the current financial situation? (stimulus package, buy out package, “bad” bank, etc.)

We are in a “change”! No longer is age a factor, or experience that comes from living on the planet longer. No, we are in a “youth culture”!

Age is supposed to cover everything! …from “the worship of words” to the “coronation” of a world, supposed, leader.

Also, we are in a “change” as far as ethnicity goes. No longer is “white” a national color, but we have “browns”, of various shades, by immigration and by law. Discrimination is a thing of the past. We encourage ethnic diversity!

Yes! We are in a “changing environment”. The “good” of history; the decisions that made us the greatest nation in the world; are all forgotten in the “newest generation”! The “choices made” have been disregarded! I guess we’ll have to learn from history again. (if that’s possible….)

Is it any wonder, that America today feels “hopeless”?

Where oh where does this new generation get its information? …….
Unfortunately from T.V., the “pundits, and from their electronic devices (the info of which does not even stand the scrutiny of secondary sources…)

No wonder that this new generation remains ignorant of history!
For the new generation believes that the Constitution is an “old” document that needs upgrading for the “new society”. At least, that’s what the new President says. The debates, the decisions of “old”, despite the progress this Nation has achieved, was all because of the Constitution was revered and as respected as it was.

Is it any wonder, that America today feels “hopeless”?
