What is next?

This morning, I am sitting in the cold autumn morning babysitting a six month old miniature stallion.  It has allowed me to think.  Mostly I have considered the future that my daughters and grand children will have to face.  So as I begin to pen my thoughts,  I am wondering where to start.

First I suppose, I would like to look at the recent events where two American expatriates living in Yemen where they have been truly spreading a religion of hate which has put their fellow Americans into mortal danger have been brought to a form of justice.  Though I agree something needed to be done, the manner sits heavy in my heart as it sets a precedence.  If you disagree with the authorities they only need to call you a terrorist and then they can justify sending you a piece of airmail through your front door via a toy plane, and well if you are the one exercising your freedom of speech that would just ruin your day.  I personally think I would prefer men carrying guns as then there is a chance for rational decision making, not so when you send that missile through the front door.
Next question that comes to mind has it changes anything, overall I would say no as the world is a dangerous place and has been since Cain killed his brother Able and no matter how much we would like to believe we as fallen creatures can bring about world peace; the truth is we can not.  Anyone who believes otherwise, well let me just say I know how to use a pitchfork and shovel and have tilled my fair share of crap back into the soil.

What I as an individual can do is allow my fellow citizens the same rights and privileges afforded me by my creator; whether they choose good or bad is not for me to decide, but if they play the fool and make life dangerous they do need to be dealt with.  As fellow citizens they should be dealt with by our laws, if not then it is a different story as by choosing to declare war on a country you become an enemy combatant. I suppose if I was the one who had to make a the choice I would have tried them for treason and revoked their citizenship first. This brings to mind the next question of mine, the current man in charge we as a nation, though not I personally, have voted into office on the promise of change has changed.  If I remember correctly he came out and stated we ate not at war with the very political movement these two men adhered to as well as the Libya leader who we just helped overthrow.  My question is then why the hell is he sending in Military assets to perform acts of war on people we are not at war with.  If you say it is not just him, read the manual he is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States and without orders passed down by him our boys and girls would stay home.  Enough said about that you voted for it and you got it.  He changed and when he is through this land of the free and some brave will also forever be changed and I fear not for the better as many have hoped.

This brings me to a truth anyone who came from a broken home knows only to well, A house divided can not stand. This house is divided on so many issues I am guessing we only are still together out of habit. Trust me I know mom and dad are sleeping in separate rooms and are seeing other people and well that puts the children at risk.  Over the years I have seen it over and over, dad ignores the kids moves out, mom starts shagging whomever comes along who pretends to love her and if as a child you are lucky he might actually be nice to you but it seems more often than not since you are from the loins of another man and he actually believes he has evolved and embraces his primal instinct at the best he will just ignore you.

I personally believe we are at that point one of our parents is doing the horizontal two step with the Europeans and the other prefers the Chinese and poor old Uncle Sam sleeps with the highest bidder and has delusions of becoming a king.  Please I say every time I pray let the insanity stop.  OH, and to me coworkers who think children are the spawn of Satan and want to make it illegal to have them, please voluntarily go in have the elective surgery insuring you don't have to have them and that way when you are old and gray you won't ever be fettered with smiling little faces asking you to play and tell stories.  Enough about that.

You know I could go on, but knowing people need to start by crawling I will let you ponder and go read something by somebody who does not agree with your opinion.
