Who kicked my sand castle?!?
Why is it that everyone points their fingers at the government whenever something goes wrong? We ARE the government. Well, at least we were when this country was founded. More and more we are becoming the United Socialist Republic of American States.
The more jobs we give “the government” to do, the more power we give to “them”, the less we have for ourselves. Is socialism really what we want?
Let us think about this. If you build a sand castle on the beach and some guy comes over and kicks it down, is it the fault of the government? That is a ridiculous thought.
Well, that is what we are saying whenever we point our fingers at “the government”. OUR government. Those people that WE put into power either by election or our own neglect and inaction.
What am I trying to say? Start pointing your fingers at the correct people. Start with yourself. If you do nothing but talk and point fingers, then you are the reason for the problem you are whining about.
Do you have a problem with gas prices? Point the finger at the gas companies. If you have a problem, with someone, go talk to them. Forget the middle man. Go straight to the source.
If some guy kicks over your sand castle you do not run over and beat up your dad. No, you confront the guy that kicked over your sand castle.
I vote we start thinking for ourselves and start solving our own problems and taking back our power from “the government”. Because WE are the government, for now at least.
