Enough Already!

I don't go on to Facebook much anymore.  Why would I?

There is a continual barrage of fake news from many sides.  Then there are the negative comments, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.  Almost everything is negative.  The whining is beyond overwhelming.

Are you on the triangle or square?  I don't know why I asked that because I don't much care.  I don't care if you thought the election consisted of three or four candidates. What really matters is this. Was the election a fraud?  Is the system archaic?  I suspect both answers would be a "YES."  But most of you don't really care.

As the wife of a physician said recently in response to whether she would join the Women's March on Washington January 21, 2017, "it depends what is going on in my life."  Face plant.  Right?

And this my loyal readers is what we have.  We have a society of complainers.   They would rather sit on Facebook, analyze the election, complain, and talk about how they are the disenfranchised.  After all, they are entitled.  Have any marched on washington?  Met with their political representatives?  Helped a family or person in need?  I don't think so.

They won't change much about what they will do. They will continue wear their trendy safety pins, don bumper stickers on their cars, wear a nifty baseball cap. And you wonder why the election did not go in their favour?

This entry has been hard to write.  I am annoyed.  Disappointed.  Exhausted at the laziness of these people.  It is one miserable post after another.

You won't find me on Facebook much. I'll be outside filling the holes dug up nightly by a huge raccoon and its three friends.  I am hoping to find a Hav-A-Heart cage and someone with a truck to relocate the destructive bandit and company.  Or working on a supplies list for the firefighters again. No doubt I will be working with people on a few sides of the political spectrum.  We will focus on making things better.

A dear friend who is a Trump supporter is doing just that.  He doesn't spend his time in joy over the election.  He knows there is a lot to do on both sides. He is building an older woman a new roof.  Patching a leaky roof for a church member.  Mentoring a little girl whose drug addicted father passed away.  Does he fit your profile of the OTHER side? Hardly.  You made up your mind who these people were long ago.

Get out there and act like a citizen.  Pay it forward and never forget that...
