| Been A While |
It has certainly been quite some time since I have updated this blog. Good to see it is still in existence.
I am going to focus my thoughts on a few different things at the moment. Since my last entry, I have been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. It is not in my immediate family, and I have my own theory as to why this is happening to not only myself, but millions of others across the country in my age group. This is typically something they say comes on in your 40's. Well, let me just tell you all. I just turned 37 last month. I was diagnosed last May and it has been a bit of a struggle ever since. That is just one thing I am going to touch upon in my new and improved entries.
Secondly, in light of the entire Occupy Movement, I have to honestly say how disappointed I am to find that the ones who have taken an oath to serve and protect us, are the ones we need to be protected from. I have seen countless time the unjust treatment of those who are simply trying to make a point. However, I am most disappointed in the way their fellow citizen has spoken of and to the movement. The point of the movement may have escaped you. That is fine; but, where does it give you anti-occupy people the right to harass and otherwise bully your fellow human being? I have found that most who do, either do not understand the message; or simply do not care, and are upset that 'this' may be slightly disrupting their everyday lives. Shame on you all for being so selfish. While you are entitled to your opinion, please allow me to express that you do not speak for me, or others like me, who are in complete solidarity with the movement and its message.
Thirdly, why is everyone so upset that Rhode Island's state Christmas tree is being officially called a 'Holiday Tree'? Last time I checked, this country was formed on the basis of religious freedom and separation of church and state. Governor Lincoln Chafee, as a servant to the public, yes that is right, a servant to 'We The People', did exactly what is right given the position he is in. Get over it, Christians. Your religion is not the only one out there.
The last thing I am going to touch upon here is the constant removal of our basic human rights by none other than the people you voted in office - The Congressional body of the USA. They have passed provisions based on scare tactics. These provisions could very well limit, if not completely do away with, our 'freedom' as we know it. I can certainly attest that Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse will NEVER get another vote from this citizen, no way. The government has way too much involvement in our everyday lives as it is, and unfortunately, most of us cannot afford to buy our own. Stop feeding into the lies, read the Patriot Act over again. Understand what it really means for you, as an American. That is all I ask.
In closing, I would like to wish every single person reading this, of every denomination, a wondrous and safe holiday season.
