They said it was going to get worst.....

OK, I am not somebody who is really important, I will most likely be at one end of the scale or the other, sometimes not at all. I don't want to be in charge. I have learned over the years that command bring out the worst in me. That being said I really believe that the answers will come from the bottom-up, not top-down. Part of the problem is too many Chief's and not enough Indians, and there seems to be more Chief's everyday.

Down here at my level the country doesn't have a mission or a strategy, so many people have become so self-absorbed that the only way that things get done is to just make it up as we go along. Everybody wants things there way, many of us are know nothings and respond to fear and the fear of any sort of change. If you will, we are circling the wagons in ever smaller circles and shooting at everyone. The banding together in groups to rally against others, because we don't have that strategy or mission and any one suggested will generally will face an assault from many groups.

So here we sit throwing shit at each other, greedily clutch our things, tell others to get away and piss off, and while your at it learn to be just like us, believe like me so I can feel safe, of course my shit doesn't stink and I am always right. We have become kids in adult bodies, have lost our parents and don't know what to do our how to behave. I am not calling on Jesus or God here, because they are part of the problem or perhaps our use is more at fault.

These issues need to be solved by us down here at the bottom working together with an agreed mission and shared strategy. We are going to have to reach way down, and give up some things, and look toward the future for the gains our kids might see, because right now "It all seems to be circling the drain"
