Way back in 2010 the following "Brush Fires" appeared on this blog. It seems appropriate to post it again.
Samuel Adams said, “It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men. If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
Remember Sam? He was John’s cousin. They and a bunch of other guys got tired of government messing in their lives so they founded a new country. There is much talk today of the people being tired of the Congress and the White House.
I am not a smart man, but then I am not stupid. I do have a couple of college degrees. Therefore, it is natural for me to comment on the performance of our governing powers. It is obvious that we have allowed ourselves to be governed by a bunch of people that couldn’t run a cash register at a convenience store - on the late night shift when things are slow.
Because I am an observer by nature and training, I see the brush fires starting to burn. It doesn’t matter what your political persuasion is, if you think everything is fine, it is not.
Just thought you might want to give some thought to it. Maybe not.
