Recently I had a man tell me that I couldn't talk politics without personally slandering a person.
Wrong!
I talk policies, I talk about parties, I talk about my opinions, which everyone has. It is all relative. And Cue argument here. This man says to me the world was filled with people who believed everything was relative before they were persecuted.
Now, we have a debate.
It truly is all relative, but that does not mean I don't have an opinion! That doesn't mean that I don't speak out about the policy changes and parties in office. Quite the contrary, I write as often as time permits about America and my opinion on where this country is going, I write for this blog and for a website www.writingliberty.com. Some of the article's I have written on the website include;
- Finding America
- The Softening Potbelly of Society
- The Decline of Personal and Societal Accountability
- Finding Integrity Accountability in America
On Voting:
- I am sick of only seeing the two main parties in the media, there are many other parties and people that run. I sometimes think the Democrats and Republicans all get together in a room, sit down at a card table, and divvy up all the policies so that we are always torn.
- I am even more tired of people telling me that they vote for the "lesser of two evils" then whining about it when they don't like the person in office that they voted for. YOU made the vote!
- I am tired of people telling others they are wasting their vote if they vote for any party other than the two main parties. Your civic duty is to vote for the person that best represents you.
On Guns:
- Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Simple and yet true
- Drug dealers and criminals are not going to turn in their guns, so why would you want to disarm the law abiding citizens of society.
- It is a constitutional right to bear to keep and bear arms, and I am of the opinion that no one should take this right away from law abiding citizens.
- Worried about death's from gunfire, well what about dirty bombs made from household materials, no matter what you do if someone really wants to harm people they will find a way. According to the FBI More people were killed with hammers and clubs than rifles. More on this in another article where I will give you Government verified statistics.
- Want to know the real defense against what appears to be senseless violence? The answer is: education, compassion and tolerance.
- Our welfare system is broken. I'm not saying get rid of it, I am saying we need to take another look at it.
- Criminals and less than honest people know how to exploit it and they have the time to do so, while honest people trying to make a living are left behind.
- You are paying people that don't work, increasing minimum wage, and leaving the middle class to further suffer.
- In some circumstances it is more rewarding to stay "on the system" than it is to get out and find your own way, the system is enabling people, not encouraging them to get out and do something.
- People that don't pay into the system ever should be the ones who receive the scrutiny, not the law abiding citizens who have been working their whole lives and finally break down and ask for help.
- In the end, most of this comes down to society and having self respect and pride.
- There was a time when people took pride in their neighborhoods, their family and their work. We have seen a decline in all of these areas.
- The library used to be a well used and popular facility, it facilitated learning and community, now it's one of the first to be cut from the budget, instead we should be putting our resources into Libraries and Schools to educate our young people and give them options and alternatives to the dark roads we fear they will take.
- More and more families are broken than ever before we would be foolish to think that this doesn't have a large impact on Society as a whole. Now it takes a dual income to survive but more and more families are faced with single parenting or strained and separated parents, this leads to further complications when the parents each want to be the good guy, so they don't enforce rules or consequences, giving children a skewed sense of justice and the world.
- There has been a steady decline in accountability, more and more laws passed to tell people what should be common sense. More and more people passing the buck or suing companies or people for things that they ought to have known better in the first place.
- The hot topic right now is the bill to give inmates free college education.
- I'm not saying they shouldn't get an education, I would be more apt to give them vocational training, but I am saying it is not right to reward a criminal with a college degree while making the rest of the law abiding citizens pay for theirs.
- I am saying that if you want to make a difference in the world you should be educating the young, starting in the school and utilizing the libraries to support families, and children long before they are faced with the possibility of turning to a life of crime.
- I am saying be proactive not reactive.
- I am saying let's no reward bad behavior. If your kid throws a baseball through the neighbors window on purpose, you don't give him an ice cream.
- Education is the foundation, what we do and how we act is based on some sort of education, so if we focused on quality education, quality in our schools and libraries as well as various other faculties of education are the key to a successful future.
- A great deal is taught in school where the minds of the young are mailable, who are the people teaching our kids? Where is the funding for our kids? Who can homeschool their children under the current system as a single parent? How to public schools hold up? I could write forever on this. But alas, I am out of time for the day.
Namaste,
Michol Mae
