…doin’ without… miA… missin’ in America… today

As a little kid – a baby – in late 1942 and into 1943, 1944 and 1945 we had something in our home; no, not lots of this and that’s – below are pictures of what we had:

The above borrowed from… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_States#/media/File:%22How_to_Shop_With_Ration_Book_Two%22_-_OAC_-_bk0007t0n59.jpg

For several reasons… mostly my age back then… and now… I miss that I cannot locate the unused books and coupons that I recall looking at often… during and after WWII.   What I most certainly do recall every time I pass or visit an American military cemetery here or elsewhere is that I simply followed what limits of freedom via responsibility were required… and insisted by My good Mom, dad and brother.  My Mom, dad and brother are gone… as are the American citizen freedom requirements of responsibility…

FREEDOM ain’t free folks.  That simple fact… the fundamental of FREEDOM is RESPONSIBILITY… 24/7… now miA… missin’ in America…

Folks… history teaches… there are times to do with… and times to do without

Does history repeat itself?  Well, most everywhere I’ve ever been in my almost 8 decades here… the answer is… YES… it does although with different characters... different names.  History’s events and consequences – its natural and now growing costly mass amounts of Homo sapiens needs and outputs – are changin’ consequences... in almost unexplainable historical facts.   Could we the people, us Homo sapiens, be self destructing?

We now use DEBT to raise the already overpriced costs of many things that our ancestors not only did without… cripes most were not even invented, marketed, recycled or sitting by the curb awaiting garbage truck pickup.

My view is so basic – so fundamental – so  unacceptable – that I create/write/print it with an almost hopeless sense of lost value.   What on earth has happened to thefundamentals that I was born with as a Homo sapiens kid?  Back then I was expected to learn and display from the days of receiving my earliest jobs, assignments, expectations and frequent forms of various applied disciplinary results as needed by the upper – level older folks who practiced fundamentals.

The words above are the reasons history exists.  Some good… much not so.   But the needed ones today… the folks/times to do without... are simply miA… missin’ in America.

The fundamental basics… needs… requirements of life… ours… others

Freedom needs (depends on) one basic Homo sapien need – RESPONSIBILITY.

We are homo sapiens – a form of life that has arrived recently.   We now appear to be trying to join the various other forms of life that arrived… stayed for a while… and left.  Bye byes…

A requirement of life is… survival.   Does the behavior – the repetitiveness of Homo sapiens – now numbered in the billions – not all that long ago in the low millions – does our behavior and its repetitiveness – wars, influenza, nature’s dislike and reactive responses to our growing repetitive foolishness – suggest homo sapiens survival?  Or history’s above answer?

My normal finger pointing is pretty consistent – the press/political/legal… attorney/judge/bureaucrat/media/entertainment… NOnSENSE.  They are departure leaders – for a simple reason.  They don’t participate in animal/vegetable/mineral basic existence needs. 

A bit about those with the basic fundamentals of life and the several reasons why certain species have survived:

·         https://www.livescience.com/longest-living-animals.html - a few borrowed words… “Tortoises don't even make the top 10 longest-living animals.”

o   Us Homo sapiens don’t make any of the lists
