Hello All,
Less government is a good thing, IMO. But
understand clearly here, the "government" is only
making this (latest) rule because of the 'legal'
bribes, i.e., both current and promises of future
handouts by the big for-profit companies. That's
it, that's all, pure and simple.
If we truly gave a hoot and paid as much attention
to our political leaders guiding our lives, as the
companies did with guiding their profits, we'd
have more influence. It is unfortunate that a
large majority of us only care enough to gripe
about changes to others who also -- more often
than not -- don't care enough to make real,
positive changes actually happen.
It's easy to gripe and share one's opinions where
they don't really do a bit of good to change
things, such as on this or other e-mail lists,
rather than actually getting or staying involved,
and helping to truly guide and make positive
changes happen.
It's not that your opinion (or mine) doesn't
matter. It's quite simply that most of us don't
honestly care enough to make sure our opinions
matter. If you, reading this now, happen to be at
a point in your life where you actually want to
influence your country's and world's changes (and
are sick of being led in the wrong direction),
here are a couple of resources that can help,
below.
I urge you, make the switch today, and begin doing
more than spending your precious time griping
about negative changes already made, supposedly on
your behalf. I, too, shall strive to not simply be
a hypocritical cheerleader here. Everything said
above, I say to myself as well. Join me, starting
today, starting now (!) -- and let's take action.
It doesn't take much to become a true
world-changer, rather than just another unhappy
citizen. Your political leaders can be contacted
today -- via the resources below.
And please, don't waste your energy disagreeing
with me if you take offense at being urged to take
action. Instead, take action where it will matter!
If you're right now somehow feeling offended, take
that offendedness and take 5 minutes and go look
up your regional or country leaders via the
resources below, and call them to share your
feelings right now at this moment -- in a way that
can truly matter. If I could, I'd bribe you to get
involved, just as huge companies bribe our
countries' leaders and call it support, or, a
donation. Please, take control of *your*
country -- starting now. Become a well-known name
in each of your pllitical leaders' offices.
Please, start today, contact your leaders NOW! Let
the life you want, be the life you get! If you let
others lead you, you will only get the life they
want for you.
And may God bless your efforts!
Strive On,
Everett
