I can enjoy a good game like anyone else but I put it in perspective. I used to get on the Indy Star colts board and rip on the idiots who wanted the new Lucas Oil stadium for stealing my tax dollars for their pleasure. They don't care because they personally benefit from it. I railed on the city and the Colts for using iminent domain to steal Hurst's property. They don't care because they are getting what they want. They don't care that their pleasure comes at the cost of someone else's freedoms. These people make up the majority of our population so we are hosed.
Our politicians use sports and celebrities like the Romans used the gladiators. They distract the people while Rome is burning. I believe our country is lost and will never return. If your average so called citizen sees nothing wrong with stealing the property of someone for someone else's benefit, how can we reverse that? |
You sir speak words of truth, I concur completely...
How can we reverse that? Unfortunately like Rome it will probably have to burn... The next few years will be nothing more than prolonging the inevitable. Unless somehow we could get 4 or 5 million men together all in one place willing to go to any length and sacrifice anything and everything to make the change. These men would have to march on Washington D.C. and sit on it holding it in their mercy without possibility of retreat to the last man for as long as it takes...
Unfortunately this isn't going to happen, because the fact is a person will not change until the pain of remaining the same outweighs the pain of the change. The powers that be, know this as fact so therefore they will continue to pacify the general populace until its too late. To be perfectly honest they may have already succeeded... The fall of the united States will go down as the largest theft of money and property ever to occur in earths history, as the wealth of our nation continues to evaporate into thin air...
