I HAVE TWO OR THREE THINGS TO MENTION, ( MAYBE 4) AND THEY AREN'T ALL NECESSARILY RELATED, SO I CALLED THIS A POTPOURRI. GUESS WE WILL SEE IF IT REALLY IS. I WILL EVEN GO BY NUMBER.
1. Are we losing our history? I have a couple of things to comment on this. Last year a lot of statues were taken down because they offended someone. So even though someone found them offensive, they were a part of history and should have been treated as such. It seems that people in the modern times are being blamed for something someone did over 100 years ago. So, lets destroy history.
2. I guess this is kinda related. Church's, mostly in the south, but in various places across the country are being burned down. fires set by arsonists. If you don't like a church, don't go there, but don't burn down someones church just because you don't like them or what they are teaching. Even if that church is a Mosque and being run by Muslims, you don't burn it down. If they are doing something illegal, then handle it through the law.
3. Driverless cars. Need I say more. Probably not, but I will. tesla has announced that they will have driverless cars on the road soon. If fact their cars will not have any pedals or a steering wheel by 2022. If that is not something that scares the whatever out of a person, I have to wonder just what you are thinking. Makes me want more and more to just hole up somewhere far away from the populace of the country and let them self destruct.
4. A border fence? Well, this post is not exactly what you may think. Not Exactly. It seems that there have been a half a dozen sightings of a Jaguar Cat in New Mexico over the last 20 years or so, but they are more common in Mexico. So, Mexico has agreed to take the lead on a conservation program to save these large cats. BUT, it has been decided that there will be a few openings left in the border fence so these cats can move back and forth between Mexico and Arizona and New Mexico. UH! two things. First, there is not currently a border fence between Mexico and these two States. And if a fence or wall is even built, you can bet that any opening left for these cats will be used on a regular basis by illegals coming into the country, probably with back packs filled with illegal drugs. Who knows, the Jaguar cats may even use them from time to time.
5. And last. We are losing our rights. Do the young people even realize how much of their rights they are losing? Read the amendments to the Constitution. They list rights that the people have. And they state, These rights shall not be infringed. I will mention the 2nd amendment here, just for the heck of it. It states.......The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. It does not say the right to keep a pistol, or a rifle or a shotgun. Just the right to keep and bear arms.
So, when congress, Republican or Democrat, wants to pass a law to change something, pay attention. Are they infringing on a right given to the PEOPLE by the constitution? If so, fight it with every thing you have. The more rights you lose, the less freedom you will have. Stay alert and pay attention.
AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK
