Old Time....Values

It's amazing to me with all of the instant access to news at any time of the day we are not all suffering from bouts of depression. We are inundated daily on horrific crimes, injustices, prejudice, hatred, violent protests and just about any other unhappy situation our minds could conjure up. I would almost bet you that any wicked act you could think of has been committed and probably broadcast on the news. Then there is social media. What was once just fun and games and a way to catch up with friends and family has turned into a site for propaganda, political opinion and a site to see what depressing story you might have missed on the nightly news broadcast.  You look at the world around you and wonder what do we have to be happy about? Okay okay I know its pretty heavy, let me help the situation, Prozac all around, okay is everybody better.   Seriously antidepressants aren't going to help. The sad fact is the way its going it doesn't look like its going to get better anytime soon.
      Take a breath and calm down, its okay we can do what we are good at, you know that "burying the head in the sand bit" that we as America have perfected. Hey we have to be good at something.
   If the state of our nation is unbearable it's because we lost the fire of our no nonsense grandparents. You remember those people from the older generation that were adamant about their faith and had a voice in the way things were ran. We remember the older generation and things being more structured. You know back in the days of when competition had a winner and loser.  You weren't given a trophy just to compete you had to earn it.  A time where we weren't afraid to voice opinion.  Now our Older Generation didn't get everything right but they taught us family values, faith in God and how to stand up for what you believe.  They made sure their voices were heard. They taught us what hard work is by example. They showed us to vote responsible in that they wanted what was best for their family. People in communities came together to face issues and didn't leave it to chance for Government to pass what benefitted Government.
   Here is the bottom line if you want to make a difference vote with your heart. Vote with integrity. Vote with conviction.  Stand up for what you believe in. Be willing to fight for it. That's how America was founded and its the only way it will be great again.
