I am a writer, I try to write an article every week and aim
to increase that to 2 or 3. I look for
like minded individuals or those who are more open minded and free thinking. While discussing some of my views one day
someone said to me that I probably never take sides one way or the other, there
are two sides to this (no pun intended).
One I am a writer, a free writer, I try to look at all angles as
unbiased as possible, I try to present from a neutral stand point; something
modern media seems to have forgotten, and I aim to educate, or at the very
least challenge people to think on things from different perspectives. That said there are some topics that I have
leaned to one side or the other. In
regards to all these topics I have come to realize that there is one underlying
thing, one underlying issue, one underlying attribute, one underlying source to
all of things that I write about.
Let’s explore some of these things shall we.
You may have read my article about Guns and Gun Control
where I leaned, I argued for upstanding citizens to retain their constitutional
right to bear arms. I argued that Amendments
to this Constitutional law would unarm law abiding American citizens while
leaving the criminals armed. I
challenged the naiveté of those that believe the criminal element will turn in
their weapons. I leaned, and I leaned
toward retaining my right to bear arms, your right to bear arms, and chastised society
for not standing up and with a little more integrity, with a little more grit.
I wrote an article about a video I saw regarding an officer
who shot a injured girls father
where I leaned toward the side of the officer, after reviewing several sources
I used my own mind, crazy as it might seem, to conclude that as tragic as the
incident was it was not the fault of the officer, it was not even the fault of
the 4 year old who ran into the street, no, I concluded it was the parents and
society to blame. It was the lack of
parenting and society’s acceptance off this decline, indeed society’s facilitation
of this decline that was to blame. It
was the lack of integrity, and the lack of values, the decline of accountability,
and the fall of values that once built greatness and now only serve to facility
laziness.
In my article Finding America
I state I talked about the Boston
Marathon shooting and other incidents and I leaned when I stated “It’s corporal
punishment for America, where the general population will now suffer for the
actions of a few. Where the government cajoles and manipulates people
into thinking that striping away more liberties is the only way to create more
safety. America, where we are sinking lower in our education and blindly
following media and political agendas. Where we no longer stop to think
for ourselves, and have forgotten how to dig down and fight for what we once
believed in! “ This wasn’t the only time I leaned against the media
accusing them of having political agenda’s and no longer offering us the die
hard search for the truth they once did.
One of my favorite and first articles The Decline of Personal
and Societal Accountability I accuse the American people of sitting idly at
best and facilitating the decline of accountability at worse.
. Then of course are the articles I have
written about our school system, student loans, and the difficulties children
and adults alike face when they decide to take their education seriously, the
cost in all facets is staggering.
Have you noticed a theme yet? Well for one thing every issue could use more
integrity, for those who may have forgotten Merriem Webster’s Dictionary
defines it as :firm adherenceto a
code of especially moral or artistic values:incorruptibility or: an
unimpaired condition:soundness or 3.: the quality or state of being com. The other is the decline of
Accountability. But overall, I feel
frustrated because people miss the main point of it all. Being a good person. IT really all comes down to being a good
person. Most people have become numb,
they have lived this lie too long, they don’t see the benefit in stopping the
car for a squirrel, it’s not about the squirrel, it’s about your
character. They don’t stop to protect a
person in danger, they walk on, not wanting to get involved even if it is so
obviously wrong to them. They want to
pass the buck, blame others and let accountability and integrity die.
I hope that after reading this at lease of few of you will
agree that something must be done about the decline of accountability and
integrity, I hope even more will take a good look at their integrity and
accountability and even more will act on it. America we are in trouble, we have compromised
one compromise after another and now I am afraid we do not know who we are or
who we once were. Let’s find ourselves,
our integrity and our accountability.
