2012
When I was a child I never thought of time. Other than when I could get to the barn to ride Sassy time had no meaning. Now I sit here and it's 2012. I think to my relations before and wonder if they too watch a new century roll in and hit 12 years more. What did they see and do? What were their hopes and dreams for that time of their lives? We can look back and say oh in 1900 this happened and in 1912 this happened. For us living in this time it new and maybe not so shiny. Think of those living through the Civil War and they come out on the other side to a changing country. Those who lived through the Revolutionary War (and every war that has been fought on US soil)and you wonder what they would have thought about 2012. Could they conceive what this country would be?
I'm sure that people thought there were changes needing to be made but with all the social media we can share these thoughts with others. Those people may agree or disagree with what we feel but we share anyway. The world seems much smaller now. I can chat with a person on the other side of the world as if they were sitting at a table with me. Countries that seemed so distant are now close because we share. The people can talk and they don't have the politicians saying what they want us to hear. We can hear it from the people in those countries. Yes, there will be people who are negative about what they are experiencing even if it's not bad but that is okay. This is the inside of the people and we can share it now.
I'm sure this social media stuff has all government uneasy because now we aren't dependent on the media for information. We can hear from personal experience of others. Yes they are worried what could happen. I guess they never thought that a revolution could happen again but of course it could. It could have happened back in the 1700's. I don't know where the country is headed but to some it's headed to hell in a handbasket. For me I'm not sure if it's good or bad.
The economy, well it sucks to be truthful. It is the politicians fault for letting big companies in and take control. It's their fault because they no longer work for us but for their future which doesn't include the rest of us. Do I believe in redistribution of wealth? Hell no. I do however believe that we should all be on a level playing field. Say if the average person pays 10% of their worth then so should those who are rich. No one should be allowed to hide their money with the loopholes that the government chooses not to close. I think we should have term limit so they don't get so comfortable that they forget who put them in office. Oh wait yes they remember and that's why they pass laws that will help the big companies. How silly of me to forget. I do love my country. I don't like the politicians who are trying to destroy it. No I don't follow a party line. I could careless about that but I do want the best person for the job. It's not really too much to ask for, is it?
