Been Awhile.
I have not blogged here on Norm’s Notes for quite awhile. Why?
Oh I have thought about it, but I would attempt to log on, and low and behold I had forgotten the password.
I also have to tell you that , I have not always thought of something that I wanted to write about. I am to that age where I am beginning to see that for a lot of my life I was falling for what every I was told.
Growing up in Denver, I had no reason what so ever to not trust the teachers who were telling us that our government was going to take the surplus from the American Farmers and send it to countries where people were starving. But just this year there have been news reports of people starving in the world. Where is the surplus?
And over the years, I have believed in those in Washington saying that we Americans can depend on them. In the early 60s I was told that I would not have to serve in the military, or actually told, “Limited Service, No Combat Zone”. I think it was because of my health. While for me not bad. But I’m sure those in the military and yes Federal Government realized that there would come a day that my body would break down and they would be on the hook if I spent my life there. A Blessing in a way, but I think there are parts of the military that I could have grown to like and appreciate. I’m sure too, that there might have been at the same time, areas that would have got me very upset.
And today, just having the President and his family visit Arizona and spend several days here in Phoenix, started having thoughts of disappointment for a government that is surely not interested in the people who have supported it for all these years and continues to do so.
My Mother used to say, long before she passed away, “There ought to be a Law”. I would remind her that this is a Free Country. I don’t say, there should be a law. But I would sure like to see those in Washington replaced with people who understood the Constitution and weren’t just there for themselves.
I guess it shows that I am a dreamer.
