Let US start with the TRUTH!
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the now–after some wicked storms have passed–the sunny, rather partly sunny island of Nantucket! Great to be with you once again, on this Monday afternoon, the 11th day of March, 2013, a day where the sun is shining once again. Temperatures in the 40’s, yes sir, after a week or so of tumultuous storms that began via “Super Storm Sandy”, followed by the “Blizzard of 2013″, only to be ’salted in the wound’, by the worst weather I have seen in decades, a no name Nor’easter that dropped more raindrops and storm surge than perhaps that “Perfect Storm” of 1991, where the great author Sebastian Jungar wrote about said storm, as it took some good men out to sea in a low pressure system that met with the ferocity of the ever melting Arctic…I suppose Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) was correct when he famously proclaimed that, and I quote, ‘global warming is the greatest hoax ever played on the “American People”. Well, I KNOW it IS all par for the course, as all of US look upon Washington, D.C. for answers to some very simple questions. WE cannot look to the pundits, politicians or priests to give US the real answers, as it all seems, and IS, based upon brinkmanship, special interests, not the mention who ‘right’ and who is most clearly wrong. WE all know what I speak of here. “Lawyers, Guns and Money”… Am I wrong? Or did I just like that song, sung so many moons ago? When did we care for OUR fellow people? Perhaps one should revisit the great film, circa 1998, “Saving Private Ryan”; starring, amongst others, the great Tom Hanks and Matt Damon. SEA-ing what IT IS that WE are all striving to find–the TRUTH. The TRUTH about solving the debt this country racked up, via sick tax breaks for the wealthiest among US, waging two wars in the interest of the military industrial complex and giving tax loopholes, one could run a Mack truck through to corporations that did not need a “hand out” to begin with. Well, if you feel there was a real answer there, the, to quote another line from Tom Hanks, there is a real problem here Houston! When we care more about corporate welfare, as opposed to social problems such as the growing number of homeless children in this very rich nation, I say unto you again, there must be a problem with those who deny Christ his fair due. I pray to God on High that these idiots in congress can reach a deal with a great President Barack Obama. For if they do, it will be a benefit to them in the next cyclical election. Have a wonderful day folks and week ahead, and may I take a moment to thank you for all of your wonderful comments from every corner of the globe–they mean the world to me… PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace!~M
