I began to think on why I really started the blog and came to several conclusions
a) to keep this mind of mine from rusting away.
b) try and get some fun out of remembering.
c) keep me from Alzheimer's.
d) compare the old with the new.
e) none of the above.
f) all of the above plus more.
At the rate the economy is burning through my millions, I can leave my family this book of blogs, instead of any money. I doubt if there will be enough left to give my kids or their kids, anything else. I have always promised my kids one dollar when I leave this earth, but guess the only thing they can really rely on is a bit of the past. Something for them to really remember me by. So, here I sit, gazing steadily into space, remembering all the good things in days gone by and trying to compare that with what we have presently and what they will have in the future. I really don't believe what our politicians are saying about leaving our kids in debt, I think its just poppy-cock. Our parents probably were told the same during the depression and we made it OK. I have confidence that our kids will also make it.

Now, the way I see it going down is, we have a mini-war going on in this country as I write. A war that matches the red states against the blue states. The red states are made up of people that believe things should be done their way and the blue states feel the same. In my opinion this last happened in 1861, the start of " the war between the States " which actually created some fictitious line drawn in the sand called the "Mason-Dixon line" To the south of this line were some dudes called rebels in the grey uniforms (red states) To the north were the union in blue uniforms. Now, it became time to elect a leader of the country called "President" It just so happened that there were more union men than rebel men and some skinny guy with a crazy beard and a stove pipe hat from Illinois won this election. What you also have to know is that some years before some rich rebels that were growing cotton and tobacco could not find to many guys to work long days out in the fields, in the heat picking this stuff so one weekend a group of the rebels rented a boat and went over to the West Indies to buy some people,that were rumored to be able to do this type of job, loaded them on the boat and brought them back to work the fields. Well, since we did not have any legal requirements to enter the country at that time, we could not call them illegal immigrants, and since they bought and paid for them, they called them slaves. The skinny guy with the stove pipe hat didn't like this to much and wanted these slaves made free so they could move up north and work in the factories. The red states said NO and the blue states said YES. (sound familiar) and soon after we found the grays fighting the blues (with guns and stuff) because the grays said they had the second amendment and God on their side. Four years or so later the blues won, I think it was because they just had more guys on their side. We presently have something similar with the only change being no one has brought out the guns and stuff yet. We still have the grays and the blues, with the grays still thinking that GOD and the 2nd amendment is totally on their side, the blues saying there should be restrictions on guns and stuff but we have a GOD also. Now add that to the pot with as many as, I'm guessing, 25 other Gods and we are in deep doo doo. Where did we get so many Gods from? We opened up something called immigration and started to let people in from all other parts of the world, and they brought in their Gods. We have Jewish Gods, Hindu Gods, Budda Gods, Muslim Gods, and who knows how many other Gods. The big problem now is all these guys we now elect to be President all promise they will unite us into one nation under God. Which God will prevail? Which God will it be? Will all the other Gods accept that God?....................I don't think so............... Now, the blues and the grays in the past have come together under one God during crisis, (like a war) but now there are 2 wars or 3 wars depending who is defining war and the grays and the blues are still bickering over minor things. You would think that this would bring the blues and the grays together faster but now they fight over stuff like spending to much money and not spending enough money. The grays say the blues spend to much money but they want to keep safe and they say finish the war and give the people back some money. Don't they know it costs money to have a war? The blues say the people should give more money so we can afford the war and make our people safe. That leaves me to believe that we will not use guns and stuff in the war between the grays and blues...................just a war of words...... no money left to pay for the guns.
