To continue:
We live in a world where we have allowed our self to be divided.
We are divided on the political issues by the 2 major political parties.
If we wish to be heard as individuals.
We need to speak out as individuals.
We need not give our total allegiance or any allegiance to a political party for that matter.
We are I feel (Most of us on this site) good solid people salt of the earth & al that stuff.
We who I feel are a part of the middle are the true heart & soul of America.
We are what holds it all together & we need help.
We need more people like us in the middle to share the burden of it with us.
So much of what is going on is the concentration of wealth in so few hands.
Those with the most power have divided us to divert attention from their true goals.
What I would like to see is that we all need to be apart in expressing what we want to see.
I have been putting my thoughts down using words in different ways to plant a seed.
A seed of what it is that what we all would like to see out there.
I have been trying to put down what I wish to see but feel that I put down to much for others to absorb at any one time.
Bottom line I do not what you to think like I think.
I what you to tell me what you think & then we can look at & see if we can see good in what we see.
It is only in my belief that you are reasonable person with kindness, understanding & caring for others.
That if we can spread the goodness in us to help bring goodness in others the world will be a better place
Much of what is needed we all ready have.
It is just a bit of a change here & a change there.
Small changes in our system have lead us to where we are.
We need to be careful in the changes we make.
At times I think I should write a book.
But people have been dealing with the problems we have endlessly.
It is only each of us individual taking responsibility for our own actions.
While meeting our obligations to others.
That the true changes will be made to insure that each of us can retain our individuality & keep many of our personal freedoms.
That we can shake off the division between us and seek an understanding in how to bring the changes needed individually & collectively to our nation.
The words I use & the order I put them in is not as good as it should be.
It is from people like you & I need to offer our thoughts to each other.
In the hope some one much younger can come to make the understanding of what we are trying to say a reality.
Like I said earlier I am at the age where my memory fails me when dealing with putting the thoughts down using consistent meanings.
I have to go over every thing I put down & do not always correct my self properly.
I look forward to a better understanding of each other.
I do hope that you read what I have said that justifies the total time I put in.
I don't really want to put my thoughts in your mind but to stimulate you thinking
So I hope you will join me in stimulating the thinking of others.
It is not as important what they think but that they think about issues.
That they respond in a way that indicates they have read the message.
