I need to find a better way! :-) Yardwork is very exhausting !! So, I rested a lot today, again. Oh, well, winter will be here soon enough... that will solve that problem. haha.
I am still thinking about the film "22 July" and wondering what it means for our world. The killer was sure he was doing the "right thing" for his cause. He was called a "right wing extremist" -- which I didn't understand because he didn't have any faith in GOD... and "right" usually means people of faith, with "left" meaning socialists/liberals/no faith.
Another Christian program I happened to hear today says that Canada is planning to let kids end their own lives without parental involvement at any level. This is a sign of what we are heading into. It seems that anyone diagnosed with mental illness can also be killed by the government against their will. The real reason is medical costs... MONEY... taxes. This is how much you matter to the government, yet the government wants to force you into their care. Think about your future.
I am still too tired and sore to think about all these issues... and write about them right now. It is becoming such a nightmare just to exist anywhere. How can we "opt out" of this kind of government control? It's not a good future for those who are growing up right now... it won't take long.
When I heard projections about how much technology is going to change our lives, our jobs, our world, they said ten to fifteen years... that was at least five years ago, probably more. The idea is that technology is exploding in growth... not slowly growing... the changes are faster than we can keep track of them.
Businesses are going bankrupt. That means their jobs are gone, their stock is gone, their taxes are gone. I heard that SEARS stock fell to less than a dollar because of their efforts to reorganize and build a better business for this environment... they have declared bankruptcy to protect themselves from billions in debt. I was most distressed to hear that the person in charge sold their best asset a long time ago... Craftsman tools. If they can find their place in the online market, and organize their retail options strategically, they may survive.
I hope they do.
This is one illustration about our dependence on stock portfolios for our retirements. AMAZON faltered and it's owner/founder lost almost 10 BILLION dollars of value with it. We praise the wrong people as wealthy. We need to value hard assets, debt-free assets, characters that will stand through trials of life, wisdom, and things that are not found on a balance sheet. I wonder who that would be? If we had a top ten in those kinds of people, who would be on that list?
I have to say I received some newspaper puzzles back from an inmate I write to... they were not allowed to be received at that (federal) prison. How pointless it seems to focus on newspaper puzzles sent to an inmate... this is suppose to make our prisons safer. :-(
I guess one thing led to another... so many issues to complain about.
But the Democrats are suppose to be the "progressive" party. Has anyone really thought about their views lately... they seem to be more about killing innocent people, babies, children, the mentally ill, and whoever will make the list next... probably inmates, veterans, disabled people, and the people who get in the way of someone powerful.
I better go. I am getting madder and madder.
Until next time,
In Christ,
