In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Living in the Oligarchy



Oligarchy:

: a country, business, etc., that is controlled by a small group of people

: the people that control a country, business, etc.

: government or control by a small group of people


I can't think of a better description of the United States at this time. The President ignores the laws, Congress ignores the will of the people, and the Supreme Court rubber stamps whatever fits the agenda of tyranny. We were once a Constitutional Republic.

    What I find most disturbing is that people seem to care only about their narrow agenda and don't give a fig for our country as a whole. Nobody seems to understand that America as we knew it is falling apart. As long as each group gets what it wants, to hell with the rest of the country.

      I've been watching the Millennials. The social media has their attention, and the social media is full of useful information. I have a feeling they're much more aware than perceived by the media, and they'll reject the hippie culture embraced by the Progressives.

    As soon as I found out that Rick Scott, the governor of Florida, resigned from the HCA to avoid fraud charges, and sold his share to Mitt Romney for 1.2 BILLION dollars, I gave up on life ever getting any better. There's more money laundering in Congress than the mafia ever dreamed of.

      Yes there is, but much of it is being exposed, when it was too easily hid in the past. That's a good thing.

      Now, if we can only figure out a way to tar and feather enough of 'em to convince the others to straighten up; and not end up trying to convince some judge it was all for a good cause.
