Is Anyone Else Sick And Tired Of Condensing Every Word And Phrase Into Individual Letters To Create An Alternate “Secret Code” For The Rest Of The English-Speaking World To Decipher? I Know That I Am. Here Is A Simple Solution Which May Require Some Creativity And Yes, Brain Power. Let’s Condense Every Acronym Into Only Two Letters…

If You Take The Time To Observe What Really Is Happening To The Foundation Of United States Democracy With “Eyes Wide Open”, Not Shut, You Will Be Shocked. The Original Underpinnings Of Our Freedom Are Gradually And Purposely Being Eroded Away. The Ultimate In Water Torture. I Don’t Mean Waterboarding. I Mean The Constant Drip, Drip, Drip Dissolving The Social Network Under Our Feet.

I Believe That We Can Stop The Bleeding. Stem The Flow. Honor The Times And History And Pride Recorded Prior To The Day That America Stood Still. I Believe In Diversity. I Believe In America As A “Melting Pot”. I Still Support Legal Immigration. The Entire Words Inscribed On The Statue Of Liberty Inspired Millions Of Eventual American “Citizens” To Our Shore. That Included My Ancestors. I Also Believe “In God We Trust” And “E Pluribus Unum” From Many One. That 1776 And 1865 Were Not A Dream And Still Relevant.

Unexpected, Anticipated, Deliberate, Accidental, Inevitable, Or Planned. Whichever Way We Choose To Define The Key To Unlock Death’s Door The Result Is The Same. The End Of Life As We Know It. Whether By Choice, Design, Or Happenstance To Fight The Battle. Death Is Always The Victor.
How We Choose To Deal With It Is What Defines Us. For Many The Weight Of Death And The Grief Or Guilt That Follows Creates Extremely Heavy Burdens To Bear. For Some, Numbness And Sometimes Denial Appear Stronger Than The Pain.
As I Grow Older, And The Inevitability Of My Own Demise Draws Nearer To Reality, I Have Begun To Reconsider My Personal View On Living.
I Could Be Dead Wrong. But, According To The Philosophy Of The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King The “Content Of A Person’s Character” Is Supposed To Trump Color Of Skin.
Are We Now Experiencing A Culture That Folks With White Or Kind Of Pale Skin Need Not Apply? Is There A Scale To Measure Skin Color? Who Controls That Scale Anyway? What About Ability Or Qualifications?
Have We Again Crossed The Threshold In These United States, That Appears To Elevate The Rights Of Minority Groups And Their Personal Interpretation Of The Bill Of Rights, Over The Rights Of The Vast Majority? Should A Minority Group’s Right Of “Free Speech” Or Their Actions, Supersede The Wishes Of The Majority And Grant Special Treatment To That Group? Buckle Up Tennessee. Conservative Thinkers May Need To Wear Better Shoes To Handle This Slippery Slope To Prevent Them From Sliding Right Down To The Bottom Of This Hill.

The Eye Of The Beholder – Insights From Buzz Thomas Dissected –
According To The Famous Former Retired American Baptist Church Minister, Attorney, School Superintendent, Longtime Blount Tennessee Resident And Obviously Dirt-Poor Democrat Columnist For The Daily Times In Maryville, Buzz Thomas. “Since Most Rich People Are Republicans, I Grew Up Prejudiced Against Them”. Oh, And This Gem Of Wisdom. Because Of His Dads’ Unbiased “Hardscrabble” Existence, And His Upbringing Including A Vision Permanently Embedded In His Memory And Emblazoned Forever On His Psyche From “The Only Two Pictures Hanging On The Walls Of His Home”, That Good Old Democrat Savior FDR, Deserved An Equal Place Of Honor With Jesus. Wow! No Wonder I Grew Up A Republican. The Only Portrait I Recall In My “Hovel” Was Jesus And A Crucifix Hanging On The Wall Beside It.
I Am Not Opposed To Legal Pot. Individual Freedom Is In Our Heritage. However, I Vehemently Oppose The Down Sides. I Have Witnessed Many Post-Legalization Issues, Some Listed Here. Lack Of Concentration. Overdoses From Edibles. Distractibility While Driving. The “Spicoli Effect” On Teen Learning. Black Markets. Illegal Grow Operations. Gang Infestation. Influx Of Competing Drug Cartels And Crime. Juvenile Accessibility. Homelessness. Profiteering. Greed By Local “Leaders” Looking To Make A Buck. Gateway Implications For Folks With Low Impulse Control Or Addictive Personality Disorders. Vaping In Schools. Unfortunately, Like Legal Booze, The Downsides Outweigh The Benefits. Although, I Still Support Personal Choice If It Doesn’t Harm Or Endanger Others.

I Find The “Let’s Agree To Disagree” Approach Totally Distasteful As A United States Constitution Loving, Patriotic American Citizen. America Was Built Upon The Idea Of Winning. Defeating Tyranny, Fighting For Freedom For Those Oppressed By Slavery, Winning Over Communism And Vanquishing Discrimination.
I Firmly Believe In Prayer, Spiritual Guidance, Dedication To The Principals Of Our Founding Fathers And Educated Voting With Educated Voters. Let’s Start The New Year With A Bang. Not A Pitiful Tie.
