Good morning, world. Today is the day conscientious American voters decide the direction of the nation for the next two years. I find myself without a conscience when it comes to politics and will sit on my hands again this election as I did the last one. The last bunch of electees have been a most disappointing lot to most voters, but not to me. Previous to the last day of voter judgment, I, in my humbly infinite wisdom, stated in this very Loose Laces blog that nothing would really change for the good, and it hasn't. Americans foolishly follow the big-money promises when they vote, all the while in their tiny but basically good hearts they think of themselves as independent spirits voting the way they see fit and saving their God given way of life. They are led like greedy children to the gingerbread house of "change" in the deep woods where the witch plans to have them for supper. However, just as the old woman's pot comes to a boil, the children are miraculously saved by the sounds of another election barging through the media forest and the entire saga is repeated until they one day they grow up and decide that gluttony for material wealth must be balanced by by spiritual riches. Very soon, they find the prospect of political adulthood to be very scary, so they hang around in their mid-teens awaiting mama government to take care of them by protecting their jobs, and papa government kicking ass overseas when some authority figure deems it necessary. Little do they realize that true and good leaders are not going to come to them, and if one did they would crucify him by fearing the change he might bring and which they desperately they need; Jesus found this to be so. Not enough of the tax paying voters ever stop to think that they must create their leadership; elections are not about voting for this person or that person who wants to "serve"; elections are about placing representatives of our choosing whom will do our biding and attempt to lead us in a direction which will improve the lives of all Americans, keep us at the forefront of sane worldwide leadership by building good will among our sister nations, and ensuring the that we are secure in our beds at night. We must not be forced to fear "Big Brother" but we must relearn the basics of our sacred Constitution and protect it from our own greed and ignorance.
The above photo was made four days after the last national election when we were promised “real change”; even pessimistic I had hope. How has your life changed in these two years; are you financially more sound now than then; do you have renewed faith in Washington DC politics; do you see our country progressing toward fairness and equality; do you truly see a nation “of the people, by the people, for the people”?

Have reflective Tuesday, dear friends.
