Not my words – spoken by the fellow who once was the top
news guy of one of those outfits we the people pay every time we buy anything
that advertises 24/7 while they tell us they are sending us the news and all else
that matters or should.
Yes folks it’s our system – and as with most any well
established (this about 250 years) medium or long term lasting system – it does
not like change.
Should that worry us?
Well they didn’t raise that issue.
Their (our) title issue is all about #45 and how he is about doing and
saying things 24/7 that perhaps should worry all of us.
Before we close up this brief Thanksgiving Day offering we
do wish to pose a simple basic question – are things changing? In your life?
Around you? With your kids if you’ve
got any? Or are the basics you grew up
with pretty much the same? In other
words –are thing pretty much the same as 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 years ago?
We write these few words capturing or attempting to capture bits
and pieces of what goes thru our mind and others and also, occasionally, try to
connect that which flows from the various outfits claiming a role in doing the
same.
If you’ve read here before then you know a couple of things –
here is our recollection of them:
·
We need five federal government outfits – and they
presently hang out in a five sided building, and
·
We need to pay back the money we owe – not pass it on others
We know one other thing – by the way none of ‘em were
mentioned by the guy we watched or any of the gals and guys he had on his show
last night. What is that one other
thing?
A good man died 55 years ago – today. The TV guy and a guest mentioned that man’s
death but neither mentioned the several words spoken (snitched) by that man 57+
years ago when he took office. We do –
here they are:
“And so, my fellow
Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for
your country.”
We love this place of ours.
We are thankful to be an American.
We also like the few basics mentioned just above – we call ‘em –
fundamentals.
