Return of the Computer

Ok the great annoyance of the world has been repaired. Yes I know they are great helps in many ways, information, a vast amount of knowledge and history at your fingertips, the vast spreading of information and opinions, etc. but damn they can be a serious pain in the ass at times.

Now I have been doing what research I could do without my personal computer, don't trust public ones without proper filtering. And a few thoughts have crossed my mind. I will share them with you and expand on them a bit later, just want you to think about them also. I was watching some movies over the last few weeks, I know they are just movies, but they do have some basis in reality. Have you ever noticed that the government has all these bunkers spread around the country? They are fully stocked and patrolled, self sufficient and self contained, and ready for the " proper government officials " to occupy them if the need becomes apparent. What of that last sentence seems odd to you? Proper government officials. The way they think is the problem. The "officials " are under the opinion that they are the most important people in the country, and as long as they are alive and well, all is good in the world. The belief is that the idea and structure of " government " must always survive or " the country " is lost. Well I hate to point this out to everyone, but " the country " was here long before the government and I feel fairly certain it will be here long after people have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Politicians think that they are the country. THE PEOPLE ARE THE COUNTRY. That is something that has been bred out of the children through the school systems and colleges and through propaganda. Save the country, do it for the country, we have to do this for the country. It always turns out that it is not the country that benefits, it is the politicians and the government entity that gets the rewards.

It is a thought that I feel more people should consider. And I would like to hear your thoughts on it as well.

Something else I noticed, when the country was founded it was based on the states as the primary and the central or federal government as a very limited secondary. It seems now that it has reversed. The federal people are running the country. I will touch on how this happened , but it may offend some people, and explain in more detail later. The civil war did it. When the north won, it succeeded in " uniting the country ". That was the start of the end to states rights. And for all of you misled and falsely educated people, the civil war was over STATES RIGHTS.

Now here we are with the feds dictating what the states can and cannot do, and in the realm of gun control, the feds are overriding state laws the feds feel are not restrictive enough. More on that later. But you get the point, what happened to the way the country started, and where does it look like we are headed?

Something to think about. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. More to come. Be safe, be alert, and think about what you see going on around you.
