Though I will do some work, I am running out of steam. It happens. I got many things done the last few days. I will just organize for moving the furniture out of the bedroom Monday. I will see if I can find a friend to help Monday. The shopping I did yesterday was quite successful. I found the forearm forklifts at the same price advertised online but without the shipping cost or the wait. I also found some sliders, bubble rap, and another dolly cart convertible, if I did not buy that yet. I have one such device, but to make the task quick and easy, I think I will buy another. My leather couches are tricky to move due to bulk, but they are light enough to make that rather manageable. If I am going to ask people to help, then I am going to make the task as easy for them as possible. It seems only right.
I keep reading more about the tea parties held around the nation. There are various takes on the event. Some did not go for various reasons. Others speak more of the spirit of the thing. I see hope in this. I hear that some of the ‘other side’ are even having pause to think. People are realizing that what they thought would be a strong stand against the rich has been expanded to threaten their way of life, and beyond, to undercut their way of life more broadly. I do not think that middle class secretary realized that by “voting against the rich” that her company might fold up and leave or go under. That CEO who wanted to do what has been legalized for his company as “the right thing” realized how bad that is and why so many people have been against a marriage with government and corporate. They are just now having an awakening, if far too late. Many are people with no grasp who have just lived. When threatened to be thrown into the water, they thought simply jumping into the waves was the best bet. Now they see the ship is still floating and they are drowning rats. More, that they dug a hole in the planks to get out, they may not be able to hope for help from the ship because it is sinking, and fast.
Oh, sure, the ship is and was in bad shape. My group suggested that unnecessary items (companies who could not remain liquid on their own) be jettisoned. We suggested that more termites (government spending in all ways , but more specifically sharing the wealth) was a definite recipe for disaster. Creating planks for everyone at the cost of the ship was more unwise than definable. My group suggested that rights were being threatened and immoral issues were being foisted in order to take those rights. I do not want a “right” to sodomy, give me my guns (and religion) and I will be fine. Now that the ship is dissolving, and the government friendly rich are sailing away in the life raft, people are starting to realize they have been had. Now, what to do about it. If I had something to suggest, it would be to go to church, with your family, and pray. The rest is as it is. If you pray honestly, and love truly, the rest will take care of itself to a much greater extent than imaginable. If you cannot do one and do not have the other, then I will pray for you.
If we can survive this flirt with communism, this might end up being a good thing. If we choose to right ourselves as a people, the government having obviously shown it’s inability and disinterest, we have a chance. We will either go forward in the vein of George Washington or we will go backward into the way of the world and animal/machine man. We will either continue on into radicalism or fall back to, despite what the left is labeled here, reactionarianism. A dark age, or a hiccup backstep and a continuation forward. I cannot see for sure if blood, or lots of it, will be necessary. My carnivore side hopes so, my spiritual side hopes not, but only God knows. He will show the way, for me, in any case.
I cannot wait to move and get finally settled. Though a stay in a rental for a bit will stretch my settling process, it will too allow for a more sane settling. I will be much more secure in buying a place given the time to look over many properties, have my prime choices evaluated, and negotiating a suitable deal. I hope to have friends and family look over the top three places. Some of my friends have family in the area. If those family members of my friends have the time and interest, I would like to get their input as well. On 30 year deals, I like as much input as possible. I like to take my time. This is a very long term financial marriage. But when I am moved in, I think I will begin become more politically active. If I have abandoned the Republican party, I have not abandoned moral, ethical, Christian, or conservative ideals. I am hoping, as well, to begin finding my spot in a long term Christian community, both within and without my church. This thing looks better and better every day, if it is frightening and very large too. It is my final step away from my Godless, nomadic, and footloose ways. I am, finally, becoming a man, a right man. Late bloomers, fie! My mother, if saddened by my greater distance, must too be pleased. Her baby is about grown, finally.
Oh, it was a good day to read the wind. A man must remember these things too, and friends.
I am so glad I ordered that new computer. This account has been hacked. I fixed it, several times. Just today, again, my password did not work and needed to be corrected. I wonder how much "editing" has been done, words misspelled, grammar damaged, and even, and more importantly, meanings corrupted? When I have looked at past posts, I saw many errors. Errors I usually see with no problem and edit. Yes, the left is evil. When they cannot argue because of their weak notions and inexcusable "truths", they steal, lie, cheat, vandalizes, and murder. The ends justifies the means to them, just ask them. They have no way to claim, even, that their "end" is a good one as they have never produced a good one unless mass murder is what they believe is a good end. For them and theirs, death may be a good end though. What is more, as I have said, their hands are not their own.
A very good day to read the wind.
