If that’s the case then the America I was taught to believe in is one big lie! I’ve been hearing this sort of thing since I was born. I don’t know when it started but, I think a lot of people started believing their own bullshit. And it started spreading like a bad cold. If we can’t do anything about our own country that we’re living in and occupying…. I remember many years before I was born, people standing up for what they believed in, and refusing to lay down – refusing to back down. Why should that change now? 🤷‍♂️

The government in this country learned some very painful lessons about things like Vietnam – Kent State… But learning how to avoid the same/similar incident so you don’t get your ass handed to you on a platter is not the same thing as learning how to avoid the same/similar incident so you don’t end up getting a bunch of Americans killed for no good reason – or worse yet, for ulterior motives.

If we want the right people going into government for the right reasons, we have to put a stop to things like: high pay; prestige and glamourization… and start making it what it used to be: A fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work; thankless; hard work; and long hours. If you’re tired of catching rats in a rat trap, STOP BAITING IT WITH CHEESE!*

* And this nonsense about having to be a billionaire nowadays to run for office-what idiot is running things? You know, if the American public would stop falling for politicians bullshit, THEY WOULD LOSE INTEREST IN FEEDING IT TO US! I mean we’re already tired of it – but what I’m saying is is that we keep biting on it. You say, “What other choice do we have?” Well maybe you should start thinking long and hard about that question – because until you come up with another alternative – nothing’s going to change – and don’t expect the politicians to shoot themselves in their own foot – WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION THEY’RE NOT GOING TO LIKE! ALOT OF US AREN’T GOING TO LIKE!**

The only way I know to make things better is hard work and sacrifice. If people aren’t willing to do that… and a lot of people aren’t!!!

People use food for pleasure, ecstacy, a coping mechanism… in fact, people use many things to replace God, or to run away from the realities of this world God either creates or permits. Food is intended to nourish us, not to replace God, not to take the edge off a broken marriage, a sickly child, or a bad day at the office!*

*In all actuality, many people do not even understand the meaning of the phrase “and give us this day our daily bread.” From the book “The Imitation of Christ”, Christ States that in giving us our daily bread, God gives us our daily mission (in life).

It has been said of Rafael Nadal that he is the best person in the game calm a perhaps even in sports, to forget the last point and move on to the next one. It is one of the features of this legendary tennis player that many feel set some apart from the rest, and which many feel is largely responsible for his success.

For all of us, there is a great lesson in life. We too must become great forgetters – when it comes to the last person, the last situation, the last experience…

I heard something many years ago, “If you have to resort to violence you’ve already lost.”

People with big balls and no brains often think they’re the cock of the walk. People with big muscles and even bigger attitudes often think there it! The late Rudy Tomjanovic had a saying, “Never underestimate the heart of aI Champion”. Well I say, “The man (or woman) with a bigger ❤ is Champion”. The man or woman with a bigger ❤ for God, and for his or her fellow human being!

Do you know what a professional job-getter is? Just ask Errol Flynn. It’s a person who is expert in getting a job even though they have no idea about the job.I think there are a lot of people out there in the world like that-many of them making tons of money!

You know, we’ve had 200 plus yeairs in this country for politicians to learn how to work together – dual party system be damned. So tell me, what’s wrong with this picture? It’s quite simple, when we’re not busy serving ourselves, we’re busy serving this part of the country or that – rather than serving the country as a whole – the whole country!

If you happen to be the owner of a business or company – the less time you spend there, The less that business or company will begin to resemble your original idea or vision.

I remember my grandmother telling me the United States was number one in education in the world. So what happened? Will I have a theory – Human beings have always been highly competitive in nature. So a system that is helping all of its citizens, helping the underprivileged, goes against this principle. And it also works against a system based upon a hierarchy. It goes against a system littered with doctors and lawyers his lawyers and rocket scientists fuck it scientists as well as fast food restaurants, the need for janitors, the need for gardeners, the need for plumbers… If everyone in the country is going for a Doctorate degree…

The views expressed in Alcoholics Anonymous do not necessarily represent those of the management. The same can be said of organized religions all around the world. The attitudes and views of people associated with various organizations are not necessarily an accurate reflection or portrayal of the organizations themselves heretofore.* We would all do well to keep this fact in mind!

*Many a person has walked out of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting or (church) sermon because of the individuals in them.
