between that chilling scenario and AgMoose's 401k scenario, i dont know which is worse...we simply must regain our Constituton as THE backbone of the Republic.....it feels like its slipping away, being eroded, and if that happens?
thats where, in my judgement both the "occupy" movement and the "tea party" faliled, the Constitution really wasnt the yardstick, but thats a discussion for another day
The Constitution is a Glorious Banner to the World that has been trampled upon. I hope we can restore it someday, Neil.
In the meantime, I still feel like a fool for tearing up every time I start to sing The Star Spangled Banner, but then feel embarrased by the words, "land of the free, and the home of the brave." We are definitely neither right now.
Strong hearts, all.
Shinn-sensei,
what an appropriate time to read your words, its 0530 am CST, the wind is ROARING on the ridge, its 9 degrees outside. (thank God, my woodlot is white oak and hickory) and i been up since 3AM, started reading the morning wires....and i come to this conclusion,
Cyprus IS the Black Swan.....17 March 2013, Sunday, it popped up on my radar screen...within a minute of reading those first reports, the implications hit me, how bad this is. ....short term, long term, known and unknown outcomes.
There are so many dots to connect, but i think the percursor was on 6 March 2013, when the only good man in that den of vipers, Rand Paul stood alone in the well of the Senate and spoke truth for 13 strong hours. There isnt a direct line between this two events, but then again, maybe there is.
There are so many "dots", we cant even hope to inventory them, let alone connect them. But the dot that stands out...to me, is that Jon Corzine is a free man. Its an insult to the rule of law, to this concept, that no man is above the law, its an insult to the Republic, because the message it sends, is that there is no REAL rule of law, and without law, there can be no Republic, and if there is no Republic, there is no Liberty. No Liberty, no freedom.
Cyprus is the stone thrown into a pond, the ripples spread outward...they could even be the cause of a war, where billions die, i'm very serious, we just dont know.
i had been thinking 2018 was when we saw the wheels wobble, but obviously they're wobbling as we speak.
Getting emotional while singing the Star Spangled Banner doesnt make you a "fool", makes you authentic, means you take those words to heart. They can take your house, they can take your money, they can even take your life, but your heart and your soul, that they can never take. God bless America, neil
