Not all here have been over seas, and most that have been have been probably been part of a tourists package or such.
And never seen or did not pay attention , really pay attention to the locals and such.. I feel sorry in many way for those that did not. In the sense of maybe learning and experiencing what is real and good and not an ideal.
Some never heard the term "ugly American" that was heard commonly in the 1970's or so.. which I suspect is still used today.
Think about it, you are a guest in another country and cussing out a native because they do not understand what you are saying. Especially if you are off the beaten path.
Our gov that is driven by mostly big multi national businesses mess with a bunch of other country's that we as a nation should just leave alone, but because of greed of all kinds (my words) plus a leftover from the cold war, we will or will not.
The cold war got america into many places , primarily to counter at the time the ussr, which at the time seemed the logical thing to do. Wrong or right but mostly I think wrong looking back.
Today, with the interconnections which is a very good thing, what was hidden is not so much any more because the people of this world are being connected which is a very good thing.
I rarely have posted my thoughts here, but for several reasons I do now..There is the old ways that for good reasons are still good and should be heeded, but other ways are wanting to roll back history or re wright it into the current flavor. but sorry to say with the new connectives that probably will never be changed . And as much as some hate and resist it , they are a slowly becoming extent breed.
Some wish and plot to roll back the clock,into another past age, but also some want to change back into sometime that has never been.
And sorry to say, probably will never be again, if ever existed for a people.
Some here think they have me figured out.. and they are wrong!
Much here is wanted as far as changes because some just hate what is going on today, but other than this forum to give voice to their frustrations to what ever degree, there is not a dam thing anyone can change..
Some here say do not vote, but if not you allow the system rule you. But nothing happens over night. What we call sheep, are in many ways, because they live in personal family, social bubbles and get on with their life's.
Because of that sorry to say a small percentage in the nation do vote. Most keep in their bubble of life and sorry to say let the minority make the choices for them . because they do vote.
Rigged, dam right it is, but why does it or is it current because nobody takes the time as the majority that do not vote.
I love what trump has done to the system, in many ways. Because he is calling out and bringing to light the current system, which is a very good thing.. But he has a snow balls chance in hell to be elected by the general population.
I see it or have seen it on this forum, left vs right vs they that are in the middle or really do not give a flying crap
A slow driving out of members that their voices are shunned because they do not comply to the current group think here.
Now look at real life..
(promace to be short)
As a nation, which we are with its strength as a people, which includes all, not some in real life.
We have the left leaning, most here and the hard right most left leaning have been driven off, as has happened in Washington, both political party's have driven off the middle of the ground types..
What do we have as a result ...grid lock..!
Left nor right want to work together. nothing will happen..
Politics are just like a marriage, she or he is on on side of the road and he or she is on the other, unless they can work it out and meet in the middle the marriage is doomed to fail.
Just like our politics and the running of this country, by a bunch of greedy sobs that can not work together and want the power and makes deals to enrich themselves but to do so ,, as soon as they are elected, they are immanently consened and work for being reelected..
As I have said I rarely have if ever done this kind of post, I look at this forum and I have called it my second home, but mostly what I see now is a lot of wishes, or trying to tear down, or sitting on asses feeding each other to reinforce each other in a common or common maybe not so really true past, present and future.
So far as the system goes, big biz as always has run things, lobbyist that are not elected that throw money or future positions for they in power to retire in, if they toe the line.
It is all about greed mostly.
Book said it best not so long ago, most freeked out and bought preps and now nearly 10 or so if not longer have not seen the implosion that was expected..
Well history has already taught that lesson to they that look and learn, the old saying "they that do not learn from the past will repeat it in the future" maybe in not those exact words. But they here that read this can get my meaning.
This is a bunch at one time of my rambling thoughts, maybe to give some here an ideal of me nothing is set in stone, but this is enough of my current thoughts typing them in..
I really feel sorry for the cut and dry types here, because life is and will be never cut and dry.
Peace
Add on..
I did say more in this post, but ether my connection burped the forum did but I may post more personal thoughts later, which I have never really done here or elsewhere like this,
Part of what I remember posting at the last
I did say rambling did I not
Things that will never change..
Big money will buy politicians..
Greed rules no mater who stepped on or squished to get to the top.
Nice guys or people will get shat on..
Assholes are part of life, for many reasons ether by choice of birth.
Never trust a politician, unless they run for one term only and then look twice at them!
(Tho some , some not most try to do good, but just like hens teeth, are rare)
Etc, etc.
Grin..
