The future

I know this is touchy subject for a lot of people here in the U.S., yeah, I'm going to touch on a sticky realm called Politics. I can almost hear all the chatter now..."Oh we all know things are screwed up as it is in this country..." and so on and so on. I bet you know who I'm going to post about...Barack Obama. I'm going to make this kind of short by saying I am not going to vote for this person. My reasons why...

I do not feel that his steadfastness in his beliefs are sufficient in that his wavering due to the allegations against his pastor (which tells me he glorifies his public image so much so, that he used this as a way to make himself appear to be this dignified, pious, moral superior above all others.) which should not be the focal point of his climb up the political landscape ladder. None of us are perfect, all of us will always need to adhere to the need for learning wisdom and moral correctness. No, I will not preach to you here. Now given the supposed cases of Obamas involvements in drug use, which face the facts, it's nothing new to any political official to have been accused of that, let's keep in mind that a question needs to be asked..."What if it's true?"

I know that there will never be any candidate that's going to be perfect. But in this day and age, it seems like any future president etc., seems to use his or her public image to his or her advantage and not his/her knowledge, wisdom, intelligence or supposed wanting to help heal this broken economy or political cesspool this country has turned into. Even though I wasn't born until 1969, I have always loved how the 1940's & 1950's culture/way of life used to be, from all the stories I've heard from family and friends who grew up back then...how it used to be that family was the focal point, providing a good life devoid of fear of not having food on the table, or not having even enough money to buy gas to get to work. I know, it wasn't perfect back then either! But I hit on a few key points we are very sadly lacking today...

Family and providing for that family for a good life.
Having the basics in life like food, good clothing.
Moral values.

Sad as it is to admit, this pic pretty much says it all about our normal existance in this country...

So what's the magic answer to it all...the problems we face in todays society? Getting back to a morally based society where the family came first, getting back to a way of life where we ALL need to stand up for what's right and say NO to the things we know, without a doubt are just plain wrong! I think that today, and all of us are guilty of this, use our fear of "hurting somebodys feelings" by speaking out against those situations and circumstances we identifie as beaing wrong. And we then choose to take the easy way out and say that it's alright, let's just suger coat it just enough so nobody gets hurt and we try to satisfy all the people all the time...knowing that it's wrong.


So maybe there's no majic answer to it all, but freedom of thaught and speech are still apart of this society, and should be apart of ALL societies period. Now who do I think should be the next president? Someone like the late Pres. Kennedy. But, those are just some of my thaughts. What about you?
