Happy Valentines Day

It has been a while. There has been little to report that one could not have gotten from a re-reading of a newspaper from 1932. All the news that is fit is bad. I get closer to the end of my unemployment benefits with each passing unemployed day. Health insurance is becoming a necessity I will soon not be able to afford. I would rather have a home to live in and food to eat...that is the reality of these times in the USA. I am not alone in these respects. I am luckier than many, though, in that I put away some of my earnings during my life, built my own home and have few debts. Significant.
This is not the world I wanted to pass on to my children.
This is not the way the world should have been directed. I see few in the halls of power who have the ability to inspire or instruct. I see few in the society with the sense to see that they have squandered, not only their own portion, but have eaten off the plates of their grandchildren. I am still shocked by the greed of our society. Of the individuals in our society. By the leaders in our society. Though I am beginning to numb. I am aging quickly.
