So we gave peace a little bit of a chance but no we have to back and fight in a nation that has absolutely nothing to do with us. I understand that every president wants a war so that they lead the people to a robust type defense based economy. But the hard and fast truth is that we are hated by pretty much the whole world. We stick our noses into other countries businesses as the world cops. Now is this a bad thing? We are one of the super powers. But Thomas Jefferson wanted us to be more isolated and agrarian I think we have lost that model to something more perverse in this whole flattening of the world crap.
I was for it as a kid. it seemed like a good Idea to help out suffering countries but look what it has done to our nation itself we produce almost nothing all we have are big box stores that people flock to because it is cheaper and comes from china. They work for slave wages while we rest on our laurels and raise the minimum wage to over $10.00 in some states. the only thing that does is inflate a dollar that is already worth next to nothing. Pretty soon we are going to have the same problem that they did in Mexico in the 80's and 90's inflation will grow so much that you will be paying over $40.00 for a watermelon and then we have to at some point devalue the dollar.
The solution I know you don't like it but we have to start paying off our debt raising taxes but for a better economy. Yes the rich should pay more than the poor thats just right. you have the money they don't that will help to stabilize the economy and start bring the debt down a bit take the jobs back from overseas and put people to work for a good wage that will see them into a stable home environ.
We don't need to go to war. if we just stopped and looked at ourselves our enemies eyes we might see a different perspective on life and it's fragility.
That brings me to Ebola. Ebola is scary if you have read the books about it you know that it is the perfect virus. It kills indiscriminately which in itself to a biologist like me is kind of beautiful in a way. I know that sounds creepy but think about it a virus that does not see race, color, blood type, genetics, etc. only a handful of people have survived it and it due to their blood that we have that concoction at the CDC that they gave the first American that came back from it. I can understand Donald Trumps freak out, But we are different in culture than the Africans when it comes to burials and I don't think the news is doing a good job of explaining that.
In Africa the family takes care of the body and prepares it for burial that is why the virus is so deadly it jumps from the blood of the dead to the living. Bad juju. So yes it will be better quarantined here in America because we have better facilities. Although, the human factor is always a factor. Nuff said.
Thanks for reading my little rants every now and then I see that we have over 1400 reads so that makes me kind of happy I hope that together we can get through this coming winter I think it is going to be interesting to say the least.
