Old Fools Journal: Onward, maybe

January 21, 2009 Wednesday

The United States of America made a step forward yesterday and a significant one. After many years of taking steps backward we the people have made one forward and it is a big one. Not only did we elect a leader from a minority group but we managed to get him into office without some crackpot doing him in. The people did this. It has given me some hope. Maybe now the founding fathers will stop rolling in their graves.

We the people have removed one of the big clubs that our critics both foreign and domestic like to use against us. We have shown that we are willing to practice what we preach. Now I hope we can go on to show the world and ourselves that we do know right from wrong and that we do not live with the policy that the end justifies the means. It is not going to be easy as those that have had us taking steps backward have been very thorough in their deconstruction. It's going to be like losing weight. It will take twice as long to take it off as it did to put it on.

I'm looking forward to the government circus being over and the work starting. I'm sure that some of the
performers are as well. Being a heathen I have not invented a god for myself so I can't ask gods help and I know the pious can't help following their superstitions. I just wish they would pray a little faster so that the work can start.

“Separation of church and state my ass”

Now on with my work. It's too cold to be outside (for me at least 28*F this morning) so today I am taking the scissors to a beautiful piece of wool fabric. I will turn it into either a new kilt or trash. I have my flying pig watching.











I am collaborating with my house plant "Hugo the Giant Radish" also.
