Sorry, I haven't blogged for quite awhile; but, things have been really busy here. We're finishing our workshop for our business. Finally got the electricity hooked up, put in heaters and air-conditioning. Now we're working on the insulation and then the drywall. Things are finally coming together. Take a look at our workshop pictures. Now to the political scene. I think it's time for Hillary to throw in the towel and let the Democrats get on with the show. It's time that Americans faced the fact that our system of government is broken. Criminals in the country have more rights than victims. Congress members and senators sell their votes to big corporations for the Almighty Dollar. Americans need to take back the government that as founded for the people, by the people, of the people and, we, my friends, are THE PEOPLE. Let's get back to the foundation of this country, back to the basic freedoms set forth by our forefathers. I remember the days when folks didn't have to lock their doors, people looked out for each other (they didn't look to screw over their neighbors and friends). I remember the days when gas was 25 cents a gallon instead of going up 25 cents a day. Why are we padding the pockets of Arab sultans who would fly our planes into our landmarks? Why are we supporting communist countries by importing more than we export? Why are we supporting Olympic games in a country who moves in and takes over its neighbors, while lying to its citizens about what its doing behind their backs? Why are we sending all our tax dollars in countries that hate us while our own citizens can't pay their mortgages and are loosing their homes? Why is our country stabbing us, loyal American citizens, in the back? We need to take back our country and make it what it was intended to be. Get out and vote for the person that you believe can help turn this nation around and make it the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, everywhere. Especially to my mom, even though she's never see this blog.

Last night I watched the evening movie with Daniel Radcliffe, "My Son Jack." It was about the Kipling's son, Jack, fighting in WWI. Kipling had never fought in war and pushed his 18 year old son to go and fight in WWI, so that Kipling could live his dream of fighting in a war through his son. His son is killed, but he dies a hero; however, Kipling is left to live with the guilt the rest of his life. Daniel Radcliffe, star of Harry Potter movies, talked about making the movie and how the trench parts of the movie were made to look real by pumping in ice cold water. Freezing in the trenches were a big part of WWI. The key here was that the producers tried to make the movie look real--movies can be started and stopped and made to look real, but war is real. When you die in a war--it's real, you can't start, stop, and come back. All our veterans who have served in real wars are true heros, not the actors in movies. I thought about how Americans do not want to continue the Iraq War, but it is a war that our government started, we can't just start, stop, and rewind this war. It's a war that our government started without the vote of the American people. However, our government was founded on the ideal that the "US Government" was the people. Of the people, for the people, by the people. But, the people had no say--usually less than half of the American people vote on any issue--even issues that define our foreign policy, the image that foreigners base their image of Americans on. I'm proud to see the high percentages of Americans voting in the primaries this year and last. For once over half of Americans may actually vote for the person that will represent us for the next four years. Even Pennsylvania, the state where I was born, has finally gotten a majority of its citizens out to vote today. Congratulations!!!! And, for once, I didn't hear about anyone in Pennsylvania voting for presidents long dead. Usually at least one person there votes for Lincoln. So, take a moment to think of what our country stands for. What we want it to stand for in the future. What image we want others to have of Americans. Think about it and vote your conscience.
