The big question of the day: can we really trust a government by the people? When all is said and done, can we trust a government that is made up of those who are not trustworthy?

People lie, they cheat, they bribe and take bribes. Yet for over 250 years, imperfect people with imperfect laws and imperfect lawyers have somehow survived. How can this possibly be. How can it possibly continue when so many only think of themselves and how can they can get around the system.

Some use weapons and wrong arm tactics. Some use deception to to deceive. Some use that very imperfect laws, which were written to protect us. Yes, and even imperfect law enforcement officers use their shields to protect themselves from the law they have sworn to uphold.

And now we will find out if it will hold up for two more years of constant impeachments and tyrannical efforts of rebellion and payback of the worst kind.

After all the damage done by the last Democrat takeover, now we must face another. How can a nation do such a thing? The worst part is that becoming a pepper is not an option for me. I need my meds every 90 days.

I arrived at the voting place in Desoto Mississippi voting place at about 9:00 this morning. The first thing I noticed was that all of the places nearest were in use. As I left I realized that the same cars had the near places. I realized the cars belonged to those working there. It seemed a little selfish to me as they needed to walk the distance but a few times at most. This while hundreds of voters made the much longer trip all day.

Then I saw an old man, a veteran using his walker to make the trek slowly. I’m guessing it took him around ten to fifteen minutes in his unassisted struggle each way.

It told me two things. Some of us know the the importance of a vote. It also told me how inconsiderate others can be.

While in the Marines, I qualified with the M14 rifle. The process was simple but hard. Just before the firs day of live firing, they installed firing pins on our rifles. After the last day, they make very sure to remove them.

A couple of years after the movie, “Full Metal Jacket” came out, I watched it. I realized the movie was the most accurate depiction of Marine boot camp I’d seen, up to the point that one character was depicted of saving a bullet from the range and shooting the platoon commander.

It blew a hole in the reality an 18 wheeler could drive through. The man might have had the bullet but there no way his rifle had a firing pin. Can only guess they just wanted to force the issue for some strange reason. I don’t know. I cannot imagine them making that big of a mistake. I have talked with others since and not one disagreed with it. Just can’t figure why they wanted to ruin the movie like that.

I think I have a real money maker. Trash cans made to put near mail boxes. Then all the trash can be easily moved from the mailbox to the trash, especially during political season. The one hitch is keeping it from overflowing too frequently.

I DON’T CARE

To be sure, complacency is the friend of Satan.

Everyone is so wound up talking about the dirty tricks by the dems in Alaska. Well they should. But I would seem no one is asking the dems why they did. May I offer my reply for the dems? Simple. If people voted on the issues and the candidates, the Democrats know the the Republicans would solidly win the election.

The dems know they must rely on dishonesty, tricks and deceit to win.
