Cats are smart too. But many of them, when presented with a nice bed, they\u2019ll take the open box next to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some younger people amaze me sometimes. They’re younger, intelligent, analytical, but they still only want to see one side. The wonderful thing about people their age, is the ability to reason events, look beyond their nose, look backward and forward to do their research.  Not only that, but (the hardest part) look outside the box they\u2019ve been provided by education, media and social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things that got me into computers when I was younger, was the quest for knowledge, it was not only an adventure, but a goal to discover. How did they start? How did they evolve? How far back did they go? When did they become useful? What are their potentials right now? What are they doing for us? What can they do? What will they be doing in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not going to quote history to you, we could do that for a long time.  Although history has been rewritten in our educational system (and think what you want, you don\u2019t have to be THAT old to see it). I knew by staying close to my kids AND grand-kids as they grew up (grand-kids are in their 20s now). And it\u2019s changed dramatically. History has become, to use a clich\u00e9, a thing of the past.  Our country is to be hated, suspected, challenged, even though it is becoming (some would argue has become) the last haven of freedom in the world. Now there are those that would add our country to the list of those with communist food lines, starvation, seclusion and a scary version of \u201cfreedom\u201d.  In this, there is no middle ground. You are either fighting for your freedoms, or kneeling in obedience and praise to lose them.  Either way, if they\u2019re lost, your life may be forfeit just as much as any others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For centuries, America has fought and died for our freedoms. As \u201cold\u201d as I am, I, and many others will still die for ours. Because I remember playing with kids of all colors, races, religions when I was little. I remember in grade school we said the pledge of allegiance to the flag in the morning, because we were in a country where we could DO that, freely, out of respect for those who gave their lives for that freedom. I remember when bible classes were offered by nearby churches to students (no, not \u201cmandated\u201d by the school in case you might think that). I even remember when a moment of silence was implied to say a silent prayer for a specific need. I remember when believing that wasn\u2019t a \u201ccrime\u201d (maybe not always be literally (but in some recent cases has). And it has been taught so much in recent years to be \u201cunconstitutional\u201d or \u201cagainst the law\u201d (to those that never read or understood the Constitution or Bill of Rights). I could go on, but I\u2019m not writing a novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suffice it to say, we\u2019re losing our freedoms, and we\u2019re about to lose a lot more if this new 2022 administration keeps up. You can either take the example of countries like Venezuela and others throughout history and see it, and fight it (at the polls), or you can go blindly through it and let them basically call our freedoms \u201cundeserved\u201d, and accept control of a tyrannical government that isn\u2019t interested In \u201cwe the people\u201d and more interested in \u201cwe the powerful\u201d (themselves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll say what I always say. If I\u2019m wrong, we have nothing to worry about. Our country will be fine. If I\u2019m right, we\u2019ll be Venezuela. I am older, I\u2019m not worried about myself. I\u2019ve lived my life. Heck, they\u2019re not worried about me. I\u2019ll probably be gone in a few years anyway. I\u2019m worried about my kids, my grand-kids. Right now, they still have most of our freedoms, but they\u2019re now being challenged by a government that will remove them, in the name of \u201cwhat\u2019s best for you\u201d, the rallying cry of Socialists\/Communists that corrupted and destroyed countries throughout history. That is, if you\u2019re still reading that in any of the modern public school systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one time I really, seriously hope I don\u2019t have to be the one to say \u201cI told you so\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
