To Protect

I’ve spent my life trying to provide and protect my family. They never got to roll in the lap of luxury, but they have always had a roof overhead, three meals a day and some nice clothes. Not to mention a lot of stuff that is not essential to living. I am grateful that I have had the skills and abilities to provide.

Protecting someone is basic and sometimes impossible. You cannot lock them in a room and stand guard. Even then, they will get into something. I’ve told my wife and child and grandchildren, "I can protect you from many things. But, the one thing that is most frightening is that I cannot protect you from, is yourself."

We find ourselves today with government trying to provide and protect us. They have no authority to do either. But, government knows that when someone feeds you and provides most of your basic needs, they control you. Lest you forget, the past 7 years, government has required you to have health insurance to protect you - ha ha.

There are laws that state you must have automobile insurance - to protect yourself. But, is it too, just another attempt to control your life? Just like health insurance. Government has no business in private lives.

Their business is to deliver the mail and protect the borders.

You can easily see what kind of job they are doing there.’
