The Final Frontier, Good Goverment

Space the final frontier. To go where no man has gone before.

Sound like some thing you heard before?

This week we have heard from our president on space and how NASA will be tasked for the future.

Am I wrong or is our new president looking kind of like the old president.

You remember him, the one that took away our privacy, spent a trillion dollars on a war started with lies. Oh yea, and brought down the financial world by not reining in greed and incompetence in government and investment.

Well let me see:

1.     Bring our soldiers home. (nope send them to Afghanistan)

2.     Stop holding people with out rights. (nope make more hidden jails)

3.     Make health care for the people. (nope give to the Health corporations)

4.     Bring responsibility to the Banks (nope more big bonuses and bad practices) 

Some how it looks like the same old ideas run by the same old folks.

Last time we had a down home folksy kind of guy that seemed clueless. Now we have a guy that is well spoken and an intellectual, but it seems that we have not seen any change.

ELNL Excepting Less Needing Less

I believe we have reached a point where as Americans we are entering a time where we need to accept the reality of ELNL

 The party is over and it is time to pay the Piper.

The greatest Consumer society of all time is in trouble.

Did the corporations get to greedy or did we just want to much?

I believe we are reliving the 1920’s. A time where life was good and anything was available for all. Then came the depression!

Although much has changed and the markets are vastly different, there was a similarity of mood.   As a people have we sunk into that mood where we think we were invincible?

Have we been so manipulated by corporations’ marketing specialists, social engineers, and media campaigns, that we are non-thinking puppets good only as sheep to be sheared?

Are we so disconnected from our government that, we the people, no longer have the will to be thoughtful voters, but spout the medias sound bites as if it were our own thoughts?

Is the United States of America a declining empire?

Do we understand that, Excepting Less may be our lot and to dig our way out of the hole we have dug for ourselves may mean Needing Less.
