Love Sarah-again brilliant and sly as a fox.

We’ll see Janeane. So many silly girls out there that need some life under their belt beyond pot and pat a cake.

We’re all full of many things-no one is immune to all kinds of temptations. ‘Tis true that often those within a party are willing to point the finger at the other. Bottom line is that we all have our part and blaming one man alone-be it Bush (until the cows come home-eve after he’s gone) or Obama run amuck on bail outs to the trillions (and don’t kid yourself-we’re all gonna be TAXED TO THE MAX in every area of life for the pot babies). 

We’ve gotta grow up, turn this thing around, take accountability in ourselves and focus on what we can do for the "GOOD" of our own personal lives, our community and our country. The more that we hand Power and Control over to this present government-the greater LOSS OF AMERICA and what Adams said regarding our Constitution-.."the constitution is for Moral men to practice their religious freedoms…" on the heals of England robbing Men of their Lives and HONOR——Oh WOE——Are we capable of returning to the moral men and women of days gone by? We’ve had a "bit put in our mouths" and are running around like a bunch of scared chickens. A hand up-yep-that’s OK-but not a hand out. A fishing pole-ingenuity-but not a fish. That FISH IS STINKIN’ IN OUR ECONOMY EVERY MORNING WHEN WE WAKE UP AND LOOK AT THE DOW-AND IT AIN’T OVER YET BABY.  Just watch us decline-and all because of "Bail out Babies". We just watched the whole history of America go down the tubes in one felled swoop with Obama in, signing his puppet papers for the big boys and the rest is History. No gold left and empty paper that you all will see worth "nothin’ in the end". Hmmmm-HOPE?…well…we are getting CHANGE, aren’t we? And ya’ll thought Big GB was bad at holding back the money mongers?

Or are we so politically anal that we cannot see our nose for our big bunzzies bulging with latte’s, self agrandizement, whining, and gluttony from Papa Hitler? Oh so sad when a person loses the sense of dignity, courage, power, hard work, INDIVIDUALITY, Ethics and the TRUE SELF bought with a price. It’s time to wake up. 

MARY-whose been on both sides of the fence and capable of just as much dirt as anybody else. 

Thank you, Deborah.

I started teaching in 1974 as a Music Director (k-12) and taught up through 2002. I’ve also played in clubs for years as a jazz pianist and singer and sat with the "best of the booze crowd" which included me for some time. In those years of watching our world change, having had more "liberal/left" views  when out of college, and made plenty of my own mistakes, I’ve now come to these conclusions. I was in the mode of "saving the world" as an Idealist and young Civil Rights marcher. I have a very muti-racial family and continue to tell my kids today that "it’s on them" and you can’t go back to Uncle Sam’s plantation of the new socialism (there’s a book out now with this term used-written by a black gal who grew up in the welfare system). But I also know after years of tears and still facing challenges that we are ever learning-but need to stop drinking mother’s milk and get to the meat. Get the government out of my hard earned dollars and my back yard!

We are not in charge and did not create ourselves-and until we get off our cocky attitudes-life won’t work. Humility is a must for Peace-accepting our own fragility and bending our knee to our creator (as if we think we even give ourselves the breath of life). If we don’t get to square one-our politics will be skewed and we’ll keep wanting others to fix our problems and not go to the source with an attitude of gratitude and willingness to learn and be taught. This fork in the road can chang an individual and one by one-bring our country back to Freedom and Truth. 

The young generation has the means and ability to make this U Turn-and I see it coming, even in the midst of drugs, confusion and despair. THE LIGHT WILL ALWAYS OVERCOME THE DARKNESS and bring cleansing to the thirsty Soul.
