High above the plains of mediocrity their lies a hierarchy of discontent we often polarize as a two party system. Somewhere in time the values of compromise and presenting concepts to expand the awareness of individual freedoms has taken a back seat to partisan bickering. Now finding another scandal to influence the ability of a sitting mandated president from accomplishing goals is one thing, which leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to begin with, but lingering in things like Benghazi and the IRS debacle is just plain mean spirited.
There are things to get busy on like infrastructure, education, both in the senses of global competition from third world countries and the Pacific Rim and teaching the new technologies to the incoming generation, seniors and how to balance out the budget, including at last, maybe, for government to be less interested in taxing everything, but to start charging for some of it's services it provides. Money, if you haven't noticed doesn't grow in trees or as root stock for some immaculate edible enjoyment.
Characteristically we are not being introspective in our applications to solutions for the myriad forms of situations we have put ourselves through, especially for the last ten years, but respectively for the past 30 years or so. We are not going to be the standard bearers for very much longer if we keep going down the same fork in the road that Robert Frost would always have us visualize in our individual lives, as a country, I suppose, is what I am saying here.
Every administration has it's permutations of Waterloo's, but we must not seize in a matter of fact way something that doesn't meet those standards of excellence as scandals go, but push forward, in a bi-tri or quad way the things that will come to pass as encountering the challenges head on and bring about some forms of satiation so we can move on to another set of values and determinations as all things must, in order for the Universe to unfold the way that it should, come to pass, whether or not we like the outcomes.
