Do you call yourself an American.

If one is not speaking to one individual, than he must be making a speech. But who will listen or believe what is said? The truth does not always prevail when you are listing to a story teller. And you have to remember that he never tells the story the same way twice. So help me “On My wife’s honor” and you know how she is? They didn’t nick name her ”Abraham” because she could build a cabin with logs, and if she had, I would never had proposed marriage to start with.

If the truth were to be known, it was her mother that attracted me, but her Old Man was just too big and looked really mean, You don’t want to mess with Finn-Lander with a hundred pound sledge hammer, as a fist.

Let us forgo the story telling and let you read and give some thought to what I am saying in this message. Now I have forgotten what we were talking about? Was it about truth or what you can be made to believe. They say it depends on if you are being approached from the North or the South. Nothing intelligent ever comes from the East and those in the West are living in a fantasy world. And I am the only sane person in this lock-up institution! I wonder who they are protecting, you or me?

Now flag waving is not what it should be today. People just take most things for granted and are always letting “George” do what is necessary. You know George don’t you ? He is the one that believes in his country and is always the one that benefits the least from any rule or action taken. There are not many George’s left in this country today. He didn’t go out with the dinosaur’s, but he could be next on the list! If you listen to the News reports or read what is in the news paper, you can tell what people are like in this country today. There are no patriots left.

Perhaps the Native American and those of Africans decent are the only ones that know what It means to be free and to have a choice and they know that most out-laws and criminals are in Washington playing with or in politics. This county of ours, needs to make some big changes if we want to survive. Which of you still have a saving left, or were you one of those that have never been able to gain any ground?

Compare those that were working sixty or seventy years ago, for a really small wage. Can you remember when a man worked for a dollar a day? When he was able to earn 50 cents an hour, then compare them to those that are trying to make a living today. Most earn close to 20 thousand a year and the low income People are trying to get by with the minimum wage. Your income back then was more per ca pita then it is today. You bought more with you earned dollar and was able to buy extra things that you wanted but really didn’t need.

No business or manufacture wants to see you get ahead of the game. It’s just not in their best interest. The masses can only be controlled if they are kept poor and ignorant. That’s the way it has been since the beginning of time. It started with the churches and everyone wanted you to pay your allegiance to and serve only them.

Do you know that some people like those that work in a motel. Only earn $ 2.50 an hour? These motel owners say that one person can clean two rooms an hour and will pay $ 2.50 per room. Why do you and others like you, let them get away with this? It’s all about who controls who! It’s coming to the point where you need to carry a gun and shoot those that do not agree with you.

Take a good look around the world, what is it that you see? Soon there won’t be any space left to bury people, one will have to drill a hole in the ground and bury people standing up-right. I once bought two burial plots for $50.00 each. Now in that same cemetery. They are asking & 5,000 and up, per lot. Maybe there will be a second choice like one big bonfire each week! Then we can cremate our dead in that bon'fire.

Sick, is what I am, but I’m not alone. You will have to bring matches and gasoline as my lighter went dry. Someone has to consider those outrageous thoughts as anything is possible now, as the world appears to be turning up-side down!

Living on easy street doesn’t come cheap. The problem is we all have to pay for those that insist on doing nothing and letting “George do it all”. George , why do you have to be such a willing and easy going guy? But I do thank you for all that you do for me, even if those others don’t give you a second thought.

Most of us do not have a Bachelor’s or a Masters degree in education, but some of you are smarter than some of those that do. Education is really important, Take a look at all those un-educated people in Iraq and Iran and those other third world countries. Not one of them is smart enough to see what they are doing to each other. They were taught to serve and only to serve the master. It’s the same in our country, Many of you were taught to serve the Republicans or Democrat’s and some of you believe that they are God’s. But what are they doing and what have they already done to our country? If something doesn’t work ”it should be disposed with”!

I have often wondered why I never hear anyone talk about or give an opinion on any of these subjects that I speak about? Are you afraid give an opinion on any thing? Many feel that someone will say “They don’t know what they are talking about! But nothing that you object to will ever be changed unless you speak up.

If you think that Congress will speak for and protect your best interest, you are wrong. They are supposed to represent you, but if you don’t say anything, they will do what some large group, or for money, what these special interest groups want them to do!

Why do you let Congress spend large sums of money on things that are un-important and a waste of money, when the money can be used for what is needed here for people that are in need. Your silence is helping them to get away with this stuff.. Look at what they done when they voted on funding the war in Iraq, and the Pork that they attached to that Bill! And do you still believe they have your best interest at heart ?

Soon, most of us will be asking for visa’s and passports to travel to another country so we can apply for citizenship in that country. Why? Because you and others like you are letting this country go down the drain. Take a good look around you, do you see anyone that speaks up for their country? Wake up America, Save this country first, then save the world!

Now I wonder how many of you will read this and which of you will respond? Of course I know it will take some time and I also know that very few of you will have any spare time and are much to busy to make time for making your sharing your thoughts on anything. If you won’t give an inch, than who will? Are you waiting for George again? Good old George, who alone doesn’t get any thing done.

Could it be that there are so many wrongs that have to be made right and you don’t know where to start. How did you ever let these things get out of hand to begin with? No, you really don’t need to make an excuse to this American, we didn’t expect much from you to start with and that is just what we got, nothing!

Do me a favor, when I go to another country and apply for citizenship, please don’t follow me. But you had better give what I have said in this message, some serious thought. Boys will be Boys and Girls will be Girls and what kind of a world do you want to leave for them?

Are you ashamed to call yourself an American, I am! and I promise to help do more!

Hey, I agree about George. He is a puppet for men with a hidden agenda. As long as they keep us believing we need to spend to be happy, their pockets will fill while ours empty.

What can we do? Pray. Vote. Don't be a "consumer".
