Indeed it's been a while. For those who may read this post (which is almost certain to a total of zero) I have been severely restricted by economics. In the last 18 months I have been laid off twice. The industry for which I am highly trained and skilled has no prospects for any kind of enduring employment. I no prospects and fear that what employment is available is not even enough to cover the obligations of utilities, mortgage and fuel. My hope for a future for myself has dwindled and whittled away to the lowest point I can remember.

I have an American Dream. It's my American Dream and until recently I always thought I would be able to pursue my happiness in that dream. Of late, unless there is a dramatic change in the practices of governments at every level from the lowly city bureaucracy, to the highest levels of an oppressive federal government seizing control at every opportunity and turn to the God given liberty and freedom of man I am certain that I will no longer be able to pursue that dream and my children will be forced to abandon theirs. Our posterity's liberty, choice and freedom is on the knife's edge of being lost forever. That thought and fear more than any other keeps me awake at night.

In that dark lowly moment, when I have done all I can, and failed how will generations hence judge me. How will the Almighty God judge me. How will I be able to live with myself when their liberty is confiscated because of We the People should we fail. God help us all.
