Doctor, Lawyer, Beggarman, Thief

In less than 10 years time 80% of our technical trades will suffer
from a lack of trained replacement tradesmen.

Due to stupid Government changes in funds to educate our people
interested in becoming teachers and doctors, we bear witness to
the mayhem that sort of stupidity has cost the taxpayer in dollars
and health costs.

Hospitals are closing, beds are being transferred and the executive
branch of all these people in charge get richer while you and I
suffer the consequences of watching our most important needs go
down the drain or cost us in exhorbitant tax raises.

Changes need to be made and those changes only come about from
the people who have had their Government change the rules from
government for the people by the people to desicration of total
societal conditions we worked so hard to create.

Our kids can now be expelled from schools.  Teachers are  no longer
trained to help the difficult student, and are barely trained as
responsible and suitable teachers of the most basic three r's.

The fathers of my generation fought for the right to freeedom and our
generation worked our butts off to be able to provide the necessities
of life for ourselves and our kids.  Slowly those rights are being
ignored, changed so we are losing basic rights, or tromped on for the
benefit of a few to the loss of the majority.

Are we truly blind to the happenings around us?  Are we truly in the
thinking mode that as long as it touches someone else, we can share
pity but fail to see that those bad rules are bound to find us and touch
us a lot harder than those that came before?  Where is the guts and
glory of real people working to make sure all people enjoy the rights
that freedom, liberty and justice for all proclaim?

Your country or mine, the issues are the same.  The rules have been
bent, twisted and broken so badly that the 'new order' is sneaking in
and you are not even seeing it coming.
