We Come To The Truth Of The Matter


Have been paying attention at all to the Occupy Wall Street protests happening around the country? I have. The bigger question is, are you interested and attentive enough to get to the heart of the matter? After all, you have more attention span than the Facebook, Twitter one-hundred-forty (140) characters of fluff, don’t you?

As Wall Street tries to change reality from just that – reality – to how they want recent history to be perceived, perhaps those with attention spans longer than mosquitoes would like to know what the Occupy Wall Street hub-bub is REALLY all about.

You can learn much by reading from HERE. Go ahead. Go THERE and read. I’ll wait.

So, did you learn anything? I hope so. I also hope you’ll remember what you learned at each and every national election. It is not the congressional democrats who are the problem and it is not the congressional republicans who are the problem. It is the collective cluster fuck known as congress that is the problem.

I challenge you to vote against incumbents (those how currently holding a particular office) each and every election. “But what if (by some weird chance) we elect someone good?” Thank them for their time and service to their country and send them on their way. By changing every elected official each and every election, things will not get worse. After all, how could they possibly? Things will get better. Elected people will not need to be white males who are exceeding rich to get elected. Political parties will become obsolete. Lobbyists will become extinct. Yeah, we’ll end up with a few cracked pots in the mix. But, chances are much greater we’ll end up with people who are truly interested in serving their country instead of serving their political party and posturing it for the next election. We’ll end up with a truly representative slice of the population instead of those who serve the special interests.

I’d suggest becoming part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. And, you don’t have to quit your job, be arrested, or be beaten by those who are supposed to be protecting us for exercising our Constitutional Rights to do it. Do it at the voting both. Vote against incumbents every single election and without exception.

Ride On.
