Questions
I am writing this not because I am famous, or have lived an exceptional life. I want someone to know I walked the earth, I lived, I breathed, I existed. To say life is short is easy, to realize it, well; not so easy. Time steals so much from us. What difference have we made, will we be missed, or will we be forgotten?
Life is change, change is a necessity, how change is packaged and delivered, well you get the picture. We are changing as a neighborhood, a nation and a world, and that change is on an increasingly steeper slope. But, how are we dealing with it, how are we trying to get our arms around it?
I have lived through WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, the Gulf War, and now Iraq and Afghanistan. Have we learned nothing? Korea a stalemate, Viet Nam a loss, and now a war that will equal the 100 years war, no we have learned nothing. How can you win a war when you cannot identify the enemy? We continue to lose young men and women and what is gained? We can debate the issue of better fighting the war over there than here and I agree with that. But how do you keep the terrorists out if your doors are open. How many lives have been given in the noble concepts of political correctness? Why do we have to push 1 for English?
During WWII we bombed cities that were occupied by our enemies; did we feel bad as a nation about the civilians that had to suffer the consequences? Those were the places the enemy was, but now the rats hide in their places of worship because we cannot possibly bomb them out.
Where are we going, will we be buying tickets to our National Parks when they are owned by foreign countries? What is TV selling to our kids? Anybody see American “Idol” runner up, Adam Lambert’s performance on a music awards program recently? Try to explain that to your kids.
Our leadership at every level is permeated with graft, corruption and stupidity. How many of our representatives even bother to go to work? Truth be known in many instances it’s better for us if they stay away when Congress is in session.
Yeah, I know the rambling gibberish of an old man, but what the Hell are we doing?
