debbyski says:

"Americans believed in their country, believed in each other, carved pumpkins on Halloween and worried about their sons being drafted. But they never tortured anyone--it just wouldn't occur to them-- and if the police stopped them or knocked on the door, they’d better have a damned good reason."

America is turning more imperalist under the current administration, than a republic, do not be surprised to see Marshall Law imposed before next election. These people will do anything to stay in power.

It' s two days before Thanksgiving. These is little poem
is from my son. It's about Homelessness.

Do You Know the Homeless?

A child I once knew, now a man
Lies on the steps of God’s House
Night after night after night

He tries not to live
Cold, heart hardened by life
Thin and hungry, day after day

A child I once knew, now a man
Died on those steps, God’s House
And not a soul reached out to help

I knew Jimmy, once a child
Twice a man
Three times forgotten

“Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this
child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18: 1-4

America is still a great place to live, second only to Canada. I say this because I'm Canadian. People give up everything and even risk there lives for a chance at a life in North America. We as nations are far from perfect, but we have a choice to voice are opinions, and have a hand in choosing are leaders. Sometimes we make the wrong choice. Eventually they have to pass the torch to someone else with better things to follow....I'm an optimist who knew.
