I would love to do more to help neglected and abused children, so I am working really hard to be able to have the means for this and many more projects.
I don’t want to wither away twiddling my thumbs while innocent women, children, senior citizens or anyone for that matter, who are being used, abused, dissed or discriminated against.
I think most people in this country need to be ashamed of their lack of concern.
This is the reason for most of the Organizations we must have in place , in order to help those less fortunate than the rest of us, no matter what our own problems are, there are so many, too many , who suffer needlessly everyday of their lives.
"I don’t want to wither away twiddling my thumbs while innocent women,
children, senior citizens or anyone for that matter, who are being
used, abused, dissed or discriminated against."
Our Military fight for our freedom of this country, who am I to sit back and watch as my family, friends and neighbors struggle to make ends meet ?
We are all accountable for our own actions and reactions, why don’t we try to help and make this a better, safer, healthier life for all?
Speak up, say your piece, fight injustice in your own community!
It can be a new beginning for us all…but like the Military, we have to do it together.
None are more hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free….
I don’t know who made this quote, but for me, the more I find out about what’s going on in the world around me and what’s happening here in our county, it makes more sense.
I’m a survivor, but what good is it to survive without freedom? They also say "freedom isn’t free"…
Our Military knows all to well about that. Don’t think that " they " haven’t paid a price for their part in the war against the terrorists and hate mongers, who threaten our lives. The wives and children know, the parents and extended families, all know. The Veterans know, just ask them…
If you’re asking yourself why " I " ( a mere nobody ) bother to bring any of this up, it’s not like " I " ( a mere nobody ) can do anything about it…then "you" don’t need to be reading it.
Maybe I should elaborate (explain) it to you again…
"I don’t want to " sit back " and wither away twiddling my thumbs, while innocent women,
children, senior citizens or anyone for that matter, who are being
used, abused, dissed or discriminated against."
If you think things aren’t that bad, then maybe you haven’t dug deep enough to the available resources we have," here on the Internet ". Don’t just look at what is being said today, educate yourself with our country’s history, read what other countries government’s are doing to make life better for their people.
You must have heard about the so called " Quality of Life " issues, it’s been a very popular topic for most of our politicians….
Merrian Webster Online defines the word "politicians" as a noun
1: a person experienced in the art or science of government; especially : one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government
2: a: a person engaged in party politics as a profession
b: a person primarily interested in political office for selfish or other narrow usually short-sighted reasons
Interesting, right? there’s more…
Wikipedia states
a " politician " (from Greek "polis") is an individual who is involved in influencing public decision making through the influence of politics or a person who influences the way a society is governed through an understanding of political power and group dynamics.
This includes people who hold decision-making positions in government,
and people who seek those positions, whether by means of election, coup d’état, appointment, electoral fraud, conquest, right of inheritance (see also: divine right)
or other means.
"Politics are not limited to governance through public
office. Political offices may also be held in corporations, and other
entities that are governed by self-defined political processes."
Wikipedia’s also states a definition…
Considered a politician
* A person who is active in party politics.
* In a state, a member of the executive branch of government, or the office of Head of State, as well as the legislative branch, and regional and local levels of government.
* Any person influencing group opinions in his or her favor can be termed a politician. For example, a worker participating in office politics is a politician, but only so far as the operations of his or her workplace are concerned.
* Some law enforcement officers, such as sheriffs, and many judges who are elected or appointed because of their political views or popularity.
Not considered a politician
* Members of government who serve purely functional roles, such as bureaucrats.
* Members of the judicial branch, law enforcement, and the military are not usually regarded as being politicians since they are generally executing or adjudicating established law and custom.
* Ordinary citizens with the power to vote cannot properly be called politicians even though they can participate in group decision-making. A politician participates in public debate that leads to a group decision being reached, while a voter is simply responding to that debate.
I didn’t expect to have to go into too much detail pertaining to government, politicians or big corporations. I mainly wanted to get more people involved with helping to make improvements wherever they can with whatever means they have.
What we do or don’t do today will determain what kind of " Quality of Life " our children and grandchildren will have.
We can’t fix all the problems overnight, we can’t do it all by ourselves. But we " can do something ", and that says a lot….
I guess " today, this was my something ".
