Not many posts on my part of late. You can lay the blame on depression or
perhaps malaise. I am not seeing our current situation as a glass half full
scenario. Nope, no way in hell do I
think what is coming is going to be good.
But what can I do?
Not much really. I can vote in
elections. I can go to my state party’s
events and the like, but other than that I am stuck with the same government
everybody else has. Me, I don’t like it.
Some of my friends don’t like the leader but believe that
overall good will come of this. The
distilled argument is that we have allowed government to do too much for us for
too long and it has stripped up of our self-reliance. The corollary to this is
that the government is making decisions in areas where it ought not be
treading.
I understand the argument.
I agree that there needs to be a paring down of various government
intrusions into life and a winnowing of social benefits. But…and this is a big issue, we cannot
abandon the poorest and neediest among us.
Me, I don’t have the energy for what comes next in the
battle royal that the next set of elections will bring. I am working on my
escape plan.
If my body holds out, in less than two years I will
retire. When that happens is I am going
to sell my home here in Michigan and head out for other parts. Currently the thinking is that we will look
for some seaside port on the Atlantic or Mediterranean. It is time to learn to live in another world
before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Can’t think of much else I want besides seafood, salt air and the very
occasional beer.
What I don’t need is this, “Same untruths from an utterly
untruthful president. #AlertTheDaycareStaff”.
Thank you Senator Corker for summing it up.
