Keep laughing ladies and gentlemen. Keep your head on straight, even if you think the world is going to end in a few days. I have a news flash for you boys and girls — IT ISN’T. It won’t be ending at all…even for you folks that aren’t exactly “ladies and gentlemen”.
News Flash: The world will not be ending in a few days. Of course, the joke’s on me if a friggin’ asteroid hits us next week, right?
It will seem like the world is ending for a few days after this election, I promise you. But, that’s because there’s a lot of people in our country that have nothing else better to do but make trouble. They can’t be bothered — like the rest of us goons — to busy themselves with earning, saving, producing. The “change” they want is to acquire things on the backs of those who actually produce. Don’t make the mistake of believing that the majority of those rioting and destroying property are righteous. Although you are obligated to peacefully gather when things are out-of-whack and the government stops listening. Your duty stops before destruction and violence against other people (innocent or otherwise) takes place.
Citizens are obligated to peacefully gather and protest when things are out-of-whack and the government stops listening. However, your duty stops before committing destruction and violence against other people (innocent or otherwise).
We have a few days more before the most useless election this country has ever seen. That is saying something because I’ve lived through a bunch of these and only a handful of those meant anything significant. I want you to think carefully about this: No matter which way it goes, you’ll still be who YOU are unless you have let others make you into who THEY want you to be.
You will still be who YOU are after this election unless you have let others make you into who THEY want you to be.
We can’t do anything out there for those of you who are malevolent and wish to do harm because you weren’t HUGGED enough as a child (or as an adult for that matter). That includes every person or group that wants what they demand at the expense of your freedom, your rights (as clearly expressed in The Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights) and/or your hard-earned money and property. Everyone else (in theory) is hoping to keep the United States and their individual state and local areas fair (as is humanly possible), free and productive. The only difference between people with those same goals is their idea of how to achieve those lofty goals.
The only difference I can see between those who want their lives fair (as is humanly possible), free and productive, is how to achieve those lofty goals.
So, a few points based on that idea:
First: If you want to disown or “hate” people who who vote for {Name of your opposition’s candidate for president}, then you need to rethink who you have become. If you can’t look past any single aspect of someone’s character to who they actually are then it is you, sir or madam, who have a lot of issues that need to be addressed; not the ‘other person’.
NOTE: If someone, as a whole, is a douchebag, OK then…disassociate. It’s OK to dump people who you just cannot stand…that only makes sense, right?
Second: If you vote for raising any more money that will go straight to any local, state or federal government program thinking, “I have just solved a problem!”, then you need to do two things: Go back to school and take some more ECON & perhaps some Western Philosophy courses and then take a ‘deep-dive’ analysis of what your current taxes are actually accomplishing. K-12 education and Social “Security” are two great places to start.
NOTE: I purposely did not put links on the K-12 and Social Security remarks above: Do your own damned homework; come up with your own damned conclusions!
Third: Beware of any politician offering free anything and utopia. Although we would like them to exist, those things don’t actually exist and no political ideology will bring a utopia into being. Look around you. This is it. Anything that has to do with human beings will forever be messy.
Finally: Ask yourself if you aren’t doing your own homework and are relying on others that you trust then doesn’t that mean you’re not thinking for yourself? Thinking is not fun but it’s essential if you’re going to act properly in this world. That’s something I wish someone had told me in my teens, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s or 50’s. …I’m getting a late start folks, what can I say?
If you aren’t doing your own homework and are relying on others that you trust for that information, then doesn’t that mean you’re not thinking for yourself?
So here we are on the cusp of another election. Let’s be civil to one another this time. Ignore those who treat people as a means to an end. Pay more attention to those who treat people as human beings with all their beauty and magnificence — all their faults and frailties. Move away from politics and move towards your fellow human beings. Don’t turn this election into something it’s not: deeply meaningful.
