Vietnam Era Vet Hoping for Change
Funny how when one is honest with themselves they are able to admit their part in both the good and bad aspects of their lives. Take me for instance; I remember being a mildly liberal, overly optimistic 19 year old when I entered the USAF in 1974. I was going to be an attorney when I got out of the service and I was going to help to change what I thought was wrong with both my country and the world. Well I didn't become an attorney. I had a son. I went to college and I became a rather good sales professional. I write tonight because I see me country divided the same way I saw my country divided all those many years ago. I wonder, what 19 year old somewhere in America is confused about what she or he learned in history class and what she is hearing in reality; voiced by the media, other Americans and their peers. In a country ruled by fear and lies where do our children go to get their bearings. Our President has told them that the Constitution can be changed on a whim. Our generation told them that faith was not a necessary thing. And even our scientist haven't had the to guts to stand firm and state one thing is scientic fact and another thing is fantasy. When did we as Americans start to prefer being lied to rather than face the truth. Or have we always just been a country of delusion. I live here in New York barely able to afford the cost of living as apartment prices soar. Milk is almost $4 a gallon. The world hates me because I'm an American and only a few of us are really asking why that is. In the mean time, the scientist tell me my children's children won't have a planet anyway, because of global warming and past human consumption. I don't know if I'm to laugh or cry. But I'll tell you what I do. I get up in the morning. I continue to believe that I'll get this internet business I'm trying off the ground. I continue to learn new things. I continue to laugh. I continue to share my opinion...even when no one wants to hear. And I continue to believe and have faith in my America, my World and my God! |
