Drop...Drop...*plunk*--Noah, is it time to get in the Ark yet?

It doesn't rain but what it pours.
Now that I finally have time to post, and the chaos is in momentary retreat,I am scurrying about like busy mice, writing and writing...
wondering where on Earth the present path is leading our country. It is away from democracy, that is true. Dissent as un-American? "Liberal", a dirty word? Shameful. Someone with smarts would start a new party, the Moderate Party or something similar--I think most people would be getting down on their knees in gratitude that another choice was given them.
Yep, the Moderate Party--where choice is preserved, but indiscriminate birth control by way of abortion is unnecessary, because decent birth control is available --sex education is run by parents, but utilizing school grounds. Chastity is an option taught, but is one of several.

Defense spending is used on the soldier first--arms next, and efficiency is the key. It is not used on endless wars of acquisition, but as a last resort, or as a swift, sure answer to attack.
Congressmen get paid a decent amount--but not the bloated salary that makes even the best of persons corrupt. Ditto for the Executive and Judicial branches.
The Moderate party would endorse a sane policy on energy. The foxes would not be allowed to run the chicken coop.
Social justice--there is a middle way. One that helps the needy--but doesn't spend chunks of lucre on the civil organisation that runs it. A tax policy that returns us to sanity, coupled with some budgetary discipline. We should never ask more of an average citizen than we require for a Senator.
Health care that treats even the least with some dignity--and an abhorrence of stepping between the private conversations between doctor and patient.

Part 2 tomorrow....
