In An Effort to Clear Away Clutter

I am trying to clean my desk today, with little success. I have come across many scribblings and scratch ideas on about a thousand pieces of paper. In an effort to rid my little corner of the houe, today's blog will be more random than usual; I am gonna share some thoughts and miscelaneous minutae in an effort to find my desktop again.

"Nothing is wrong with change, if it is in the right direction" Winston Churchill.
I think this is something that we all need to remember these days. Change can be scary and hard to accept, and many people are resistant to it. But we need to remember that all change is not good change. And i bet a lot of people are finding this out the hard way, yet may be unwilling to admit it. But never fail, many in our government will tell us one thing then do something different. Oh, wait. That's not change, thats a lie....

"God never wrought miracles to convince atheism, because His ordinary works convince it." Francis Bacon.
Not much one can add to this....

I read that the other day was "Denim Day", in an attempt to "Take a stand against Rape." Have we come to a point so low that we have to have a "day" to stand against rape? Are there really people who are actually for rape? And "Denim Day" is kind of like "Hair Day" or "Fingernail Day". All those who wear shirts today are taking a stand against violence. I guess that is a creative way to pad the statistics. Maybe the "Denim Day" people need to work in government. Or maybe they do already....

A friend of mine and I wer talking politics the other day and we were discussing socialism. And no, we weren't sitting at a cafe in Paris. And today i found a scribbling I had made about how socialism not only rids the people of their individuality, but it attempts to rid the people of their conscious. It presumes that our conscious is a burden and we would be all the better if we let our government make the decsions of who to care for in what matter. All we have to do is pay taxes. No giving to church or charitable organizations, just let the government decide where the money goes. And all we, the stupid masses, have to do is sit back and pay taxes upon taxes. Kind of scary to me. My conscious bothers me sometimes, but it is a necesary part of who I am....

How about all of the nice little "perks" and "faux pas" committed on the Obama European Tour? Isn't it nice that we can find something positive in everything the Obamas do? Isn't it nice that we can be so supportive? Isn't it nice that the media portrays Bush or Palin as rubes when they commit much lesser offenses to civilization? Isn't it so nice that we can trust our government AND our media?

And I'm so tickled that Michelle is remniscent of Jackie Kennedy that I have nearly wet myself. And talk about one figure head meeting another last week? That may be why the Queen was so gracious....I am so glad that style is more important than sbstance. And i'm so glad that old lady Laura Bush and her frumpy clothes are out of the picture. Now we have real first lady who understands the issues. At least that is how it is played in the press. I haven't heard one single, idea from Michelle. But at least she dresses for success like they used to teach in Middle School. Dang! I'm proud of her!

And once again Obama is NOT proud of his country and admires Europe more than the United States. It sure is a good thing he slept through those Jeremiah Wright sermons, I shudder to think of how Barak would feel if he had listened; or titled a book after Mr. Wrights' ideology....

And that clears away some of the clutter from my desk, but leaves some in my mind. But the natives are restless and I'm out of time. Have a great Monday, if such a thing exists.
