The war between factions here grows more intense daily. We have those who would like to set limits and those who cry foul or racism on those limits.

The problem with this dissension is that neither side is entirely right. The answers lie somewhere in the middle.

We had a strong country once with a solid bank account to back us before the 2000 elections. We had our share of problems before that but Clinton did his best to be fiscally responsible and we were all the better for it. We are now facing a future of enormous uncertainty and all we can do is hold on and try to shift our weight as the boat we are riding in attempts to capsize.

We the people are much more responsible citizens on a bad day than our current government will ever be. It is in this vein that I would hope that we can come together to improve our circumstances and those of any who come here seeking a better life. There is enough, we have enough to share but we will have to restructure a few things such as the tax burden, corporate person hood and the ridiculous leadership in the White House.

We have our work cut out for us and we must not lose sight of our goals by being hijacked by our emotions or egos. We have all been invalidated for six long years. We are bombarded daily with idiocy and lack of common sense. We have sent our loved ones to a war that is illegal, immoral, incomprehensible and hideously managed. We have lost many of our rights and freedom is running for it's life all over the globe because of a group of madmen and women. Madmen and woman who have forgotten who they are, who have given their childish ego every pleasure it desired and when it still wasn't enough went searching for more. It is a disease of the spirit a disease of the ego and it is madness.

We cannot continue in the madness. We cannot follow in the footsteps of those who claim power or allow our fears to hurt another human soul. American citizens make this a fair country and a forgiving country. It is in the spirit of fairness and in brotherly love that we will have to take our country back and offer safe passage for newcomers. We must not allow hate to grow in our hearts or pollute our minds. We have so much to offer and we can come up with a solution if we learn to compromise and keep an open mind.

Someone out there has a solution that we can compromise on, so I hope that we settle the immigration issue between us quickly as we still have much to do in so many other areas, we must not tie ourselves up over one issue for too long as it will be us that we hurt the most in the long run.


Peace and god speed to us all.
