First of Many Thoughts, just this one is general!

Well this is the first post of my new blog. Tonight it is a general thought. I have listen and talked with many people over the last 6 months about the state of our country. I have heard how extremely bad it is and that we are moving to a socialist or even communist country; and I have also heard how we are moving in the right direction, but it takes time. Well who is right? No one is. Listen the sky is not falling. Things are never as bad as they look and on the flip side things are never as good as they look either. I am very disturbed first and foremost by the quick spending of this current government. I am not/was not convinced that the stimulus was exactly the way to go. Having said that did anyone really have the play book as to what to do.

I love the freedom that I have in this country. To me, it was a gift from God to have been born in this country. I do not believe that you should be handed things in life and was taught at a very young age the you must work for what you get. I do however believe that in this country, when the chips are down, sometimes you need a little help to get moving again. What that means for everyone is different.

I am optimistic that we as The United States of America will be just fine and will again become to prosper. We as a whole need to change the way that we think about things in life. Do you really need that nicer car, that boat, a bigger house? I don't know, I do not control your checkbook and finances. All I can say is think about it first. If we as a whole decide to become more involved with our politics, whether on a local, state, or federal level; we will have a voice. And with that voice we can change this country into what we as a whole want to see. You don't have to agree with your neighbor all the time, just respect his opinion. In the end, good discussion have brought on the best ideas in the world. Prime example the Constitution of the United States.

Last note for this post. Brewers won 2-0 over the Pirates. Go Crew!!!
