Please!! Please!! Americans Stop--A Moment of Silence fefore

[OHdem10]

We totally destroy everything this country stands for.

Some of us love this country and are pained by what we
see happening right before our eyes. We have been around
long enough and lived in different parts of the country
enough to know that deep down the VAST MAJORITY of AMERICANS
want pretty much the same thing.

However, it is time to think about what our Politics are
doing to the very fabric of this country.

First of all, there are regional differences--which have
produced different cultures. NO ONE CULTURE is better
or superior to another. The South has their culture
The West has their Culture The East has their Culture
and the North has their Culture.

People who live in more agrarian areas with fewer people
most likely have had to be more self-reliant in many instances.
Not as many people usually means fewer rules and not
Contrast that with people from the Northeast which to
some one like me appears packed with all kinds of people.
Proximity means they have had to learn to be more sensitive
to those around them.(It is called survival). They have
learned to work together and since life in a more
shared way. We are all in this together.

We have people who just as soon be talking a foreign
language. To all Politicians: Please get a handle
on speaking the truth. Using Lies to make points
only makes us more distrustful. One Group does not
have all the answers. I am certain people living
in suburbs have exploding heads when they turn on
TV and hear some of this stuff. Putting down education
and people who are educated is a sin. I came from
the working poor during the Depression and with the
Grace of God, education now live retired in the surburbs.
I spent my life making sure my child valued education
and it has served us well. Denying Science Willfully
is mind boggling. We must come to a meeting of the
mind --there are some truths. We cannot just say
--Well I do not believe it. Four or Five sets of truths
will leave this country decimated. A truth--It does
hurt ur country to default. How many so called politicians
said "I do not believe it." Listen Folks, being self-reliant
is one thing but being willfully ignorant can scare people
out of their wits.

Now to the Spineless Politicians who know better but remain
silent. There was a dark period in Hx when people remained
silent and a whole group of our Brothers and Sisters
were killed in most abhorent way. I am not be hyperbolic here
just reminding both parties they have a responsibility.
Appeasing the wrong policies is just as bad the writing
the policies.

There was a time when we had serious Primaries. People
recognized that becoming President is not a game. It
is serious business. Our Country is in big trouble
and we need to believe we have serious people and
people with SPINES in Congress in order to form a more
perfect union.
Thanks for listening.
