OUR FOREFATHERS CUT THEIR WAY INTO THE WILDERNESS TO EKE OUT A HAND-TO-MOUTH EXISTENCE.
They endured plague, war and depression and yet kept their human spirit.
Issues of the day included worrying about whether or not there would be enough food to eat, enough wood to burn, and whether they could escape the multitude of diseases for which there were no cure.
Men were men and women worked in lock-step beside them in true partnership against the elements.
As we enter nicely into this, the 21st Century, the Issues of today would have made our Forebears giddy with relief.
But there are consequences with these new preoccupations and it is up to each of us to determine whether they are good, bad or indifferent. Or more to the point, whether those consequences are worth ??
First of all, the Individual's Rights and Freedoms are being replaced by Group Rights where Individual Groups are the ones being protected by law.
Governments continue to grow while Democracy rapidly declines; the Courts make the law rather than the Legislatures while Special Interest Groups are catered to at the expense of the Majority.
Belief in God is being replaced by Environmental Worship especially when it comes to the related issues of Global Warming and Climate Change. And as a consequence, Our Economic Health is being sacrificed to the delight of our competitors in South East Asia and beyond.
Marriage is no longer the preserve of a man and a woman and the terms male and female too are under strong attack.
We have become a throw-away Society and this has extended to the elimination of our most innocent and frail.
So you vote. Are you okay or not okay with the direction that Society appears to be headed.
Yes or No?
And if No, what are you going to personally do about it.
As I see it...
'K.D. Galagher'
