Some questions for my followers and those who aren't, especially those who aren't.

What scares you right now?  What are you most worried about?  Are you happy with the way things are going?  Do you feel positive about your future?  These are serious questions that I am really hoping you that do read my blog will ponder and answer.  You know how I feel, and I am interested in what you think and how you feel.  I am interested in knowing if you think our Governor and his Republican colleagues have your best interests at heart or if you feel victimized and afraid for your future.  I want to know if you think that what the Republicans in Washington are for, is good for you.  I want to know if you read the paper and are aware of the legislation that is being put through at the state and the national level.  I want to know if you are aware of some of the most recent Supreme Court decisions and if they worry you.  I want to know if you are one of the lucky ones with tremendous wealth, if you are willing to "share the sacrifice," and if so, if you are willing to lobby for higher tax rates for you.  I have more questions for you.  Does the price at the pump flummox you?  Does it anger you?  Will it keep you closer to home this summer?  Do you know that they are protesting in Britain because of what is happening to the middle class and the poor and if your read about it, it sounds just like what is happening here, but without the massive protests?  I wonder if you are aware that for the first time after a recession, ordinary Americans still struggle but the meager gains the economy is seeing are going mostly to the most wealthy?  Corporate profits are up, yet pay for workers is being slashed and there are no new jobs, does that bother you, even a little bit?  Maybe you haven't felt anything different yet, but do you care that many have and many more will, possibly you?  My parent's generation had an expression, "This country is going to Hell in a hand basket."  The world changes of course, but the changes happening now are too costly for all but those at the top whose fault it is that we are going to Hell in a hand basket.  Yes we got trouble, but it doesn't start with a capital P, it starts with a capital G and it stands for GREED!  If you agree with me I would like to ask you to start writing and calling your reps to tell them how you feel.  If you do not agree with me, I truly would like you to tell me why.  One more thing I would like to add because I think of it every time I hear Glenn Beck speak, "What so ever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do onto me."  I mean really, what do you think God and Jesus are thinking about all the cuts being made that directly target those with the greatest need?  Consider that a sidebar.
