The YEAR that WASN'T what WAS PROMISED!!!!!

This year (2010) comes to an end in exactly 37 hours and 11 minutes from the tie that I typed this first line.
Could I have done more, YES, could I have made a larger difference, YES, Was I given a chance to do so......NO!

This might sound to some as an excuse or a cop out; to say that I wasn't given a chance.  The fact is that many were not given a chance because our voices or efforts were squashed by unforeseen, unexpected, or sudden events that derailed the effort put forward.  does it mean that WE quit, NO!  I, for one, am not a quitter in any manner.  My persistence precedes me and my tenacity endures me.
I will say that one of the big differences in the path that was blocked was selfishness.

Selfishness as described is....SELFISH....

Realism of a Federal Republic vs. Democratic Socialistic Views (A word From Karl Marx) LOL

Human existence as we know it could disappear and the environment and animals would do just fine; adaptation is a concept that needs to be learned by these socialists.  The people of the United States need to be more attentive and respond to attacks on our freedoms and liberties, whether the attack is from an adjacent state on our continent or a state on the other side of the World on another continent.  We should be more aware of our responsibilities than our rights in most cases. 

We as Americans are separate citizens by state, but we are also united as one under the federal constitution, as such we need to be more vocal about attacks on each state as on the whole.  Most of the shows of aggression have been tolerated by our complacency, as a free people, freedom is not to be comforted under the blanket of our own little fraction of the United States.  Freedom is an endless endeavor.  Most attacks on our nation, The United States, have been mostly brushed off because they come from the Liberal or the morally unimportant states, but beware if it happens in one it happens in all.  (Misery loves company) It is interesting to note that a lot of Americans in their own little compartmentalized communities don’t really care until one of these undetected political or material missiles is launched upon them, what the citizens of the United States have to realize is that if it happens to one it happens to all.  We are all, each and every one of us, in this together.

Chapter 2 – Public Opinion vs. The Federal Government

The Federal government is not a hereditary monarchy, possessing the crown, as a patrimony descendible to heirs but is a vast array of public officers that as you have seen are elected by a populous vote.  The only branch of government that is elected through an electoral college of representative votes from each state is the Presidency.  The reason for this is to uphold the less populated states rights to be heard in the voting process.  If it were left to a populous vote or a majority rule favors or bribery would be more prevalent for the vote. 

Hamilton wrote in essay 9:

“It is impossible to read the history of the petty republics of Greece and Italy without feeling sensations of horror and disgust at the distractions with which they were continually agitated, and at the rapid succession of revolutions by which they were kept in a state of perpetual vibration between the extremes of tyranny and anarchy.”
