Focus:

In this Blog, I hope we can deal with the rather far-ranging issues of Cultural and Societal Changes; Apparent Changes in Our Planetary Environment; Ongoing Developments in Personal and National Finances and Economies; and Interactive Commentary Regarding All of the Above; and How We Can Approach A New Economy.I am not any kind of authority on any of these issues, merely an observer of some of them and I believe a dialogue is important to prepare us to meet these challenges and solve/resolve the troubling issues that face us. At the very least, to find ways to face the ongoing challenges and changes and mitigate their effects for the good of all. By sharing Personal Experiences and Opinions pertinent to these topics, perhaps we can identify our common ground and rather than sink into the mire, bridge the gap and help each other emerge on the other side.

Our Sacred Duty

As the people, the citizens of America, it is our duty as well as our sacred honor to remember our rights and privileges as Americans. It is imperative that we remember these things, not as history lessons, or something from the past, but as living , breathing active and valuable duties, rights and responsibilities set forth for us in our nation’s foundation, which was carefully crafted, under divine guidance, to last for all time.
Only we can screw it up. Only we can become so soft and so complacent and so forgetful, that we neglect our duties as Americans and allow ourselves to fall quietly into serfdom.
There is a rampant and often undetected effort by certain of the world’s richest and most powerful, to undermine our American values and weaken us to the point where we simply comply with the intrusions we were protected against by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Those documents set forth the foundation of law: of the people, by the people and for the people. It is, however, the people… us, you and me, who have the duty to make sure perpetuity sees the power of these documents.



Do you carry one in your pocket or purse? The book is smaller than a Kleenex packet. It weighs about the same. And is published with an attractive and durable leatherette cover.
Have you read it recently? Have you read it since secondary school? Have you EVER read it? Do so now. And after you have done so, think about all that it means.
Available from Amazon for less than five dollars, OR download for FREE onto your Kindle.
Here is what is said on the description page:

"Take a minute to consider a gift that hasn’t gone out of style in more than 200 years." -- Wall Street Journal

"Who needs play-stations when you can give the kids Thomas Jefferson?" -- Independent (

From the Publisher
To encourage people everywhere to better understand and appreciate the principles of government that are set forth in America’s founding documents, the Cato Institute published this pocket edition of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. With more than three million copies in print, this edition’s influence has been observed far and wide. It has been held up by senators at press conferences and by representatives during floor debate; found in federal judicial chambers across the country; appeared at conferences on constitutionalism in Russia, Iraq, and elsewhere; and sold at U.S. Park Service stores, Restoration Hardware, and book stores around the country. It’s a perfect gift for friends and family. Order your copies today! “
And so, I challenge everyone to acquaint themselves on an intimate basis with these documents. Also, step up to the challenge of ensuring that your children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews receive proper education; not the heavily edited versions taught in the school systems of today. Where the systems fail, supplement the process at home. Libraries and bookstores offer ample access to the fundamentals of English grammar, penmanship, writing, reading, history, math, social studies, economics and the many other important topics that are only glossed over or utterly neglected in the school systems. Don’t be conned into thinking that education in the ways of modern technology is enough. What happens when the power goes out and the cell towers tumble? Get back to basics first.

Blessings of love and light and freedom to all, and God Bless America.
