Well, hope everyone is doing well. This blog is not something I wrote but rather an email I recieved from my best friend since second grade. Read it with an open mind.
" I believe the time has come to take our lives back from the politicians. I believe that the time has come to assert some of our God-given "response-abilty" . I think the time has come to stop treating the future of our society like American Idol or a sunday gridiron matchup, playing Monday morning armchair quarterback to the affairs of our nation, screaming "my team is better than yours" while living a vicarious fantasy thru someone else...cheering and rooting for them to "win". It's time for adults to quit acting like kids and learn the ability to make good moral based unselfish responses to life and the world around them and, in turn teach these abilities and principles to their children. It's time to develop a sense of self worth that aligns itself with that of our Creator and Father. You are not the car you drive. You are not the contents of your wallet. You self worth is not based on your knowledge of each individual stat of each player in the National Football League. Turn off the myspace...turn off the TV...read...read...read. Educate yourself. Spend more time building that which matters...you're intelligence and your character and teach that to your children. It's time for men to get off the breastmilk and learn to eat meat. If change is the word of the day...well so is neoteny (immaturity in adults). Man-children and women-children running around acting like playschoolers handling the affairs of the world. Enough is enough. Use more than 10% of your brain. Quit trusting someone else to do it for you. And for goodness sake, stop acting like you're making a difference because you stand up for something one day every four years. If you live to be 80 yrs old that means you stood up for something 20 times and that sir is weak and irresponsible. Change has become the"catch" phrase in this election and there is no doubt that we need it, but true change comes from us as individuals."
That is the truth.
