A New Title

In light of the current state of our country (and that within my own home) I've come to realize that many an affliction can be remedied by good sense, logical research, and practical intent. And a healthy dose of sensibility walks hand in hand with good sense. Most humans may function primarily using their brain, but the heart is always present- whether or not it is given the respect it earns.

Today I wonder about our current administration's decision to spend billions of dollars that our country cannot possibly make good upon for a number of years into the future. A president's legacy is forever- Dave Ramsey spoke of this in his recent book, Priceless. He honored the work of Abraham Lincoln, who created a beautiful legacy of healing, hope and equality to many opressed Americans when he abolished slavery. Though I don't believe Obama's intention was to opress Americans, he has spearheaded a path of destruction for future generations with his "stimulus plan": a Band-Aid already full of dark red blood and earmark pus that will eventually seep us to our fiscal death. I, like many other Americans, feel a great weight in our current economy- and I revel in the fact that our freedom as a nation allows us to express that sadness with a simple "tea party." Maybe even this simple revolt will help call attention to a different kind of opression?
