Rant Revised: For the first time in my life at age 94, I am afraid.that I can recall: I AM
AFRAID
*I must warn you, it is long and I hope you
will read the Message at the end about future blogs.
It should be read like a speech
For
the first time in my life that I can recall: I AM AFRAID
And
it is NOT because I am 94 so old and fearing what's next!
It
is because last night I saw the crowd that will continue to run the
country if THEY win in November.
Oh, I
WANTED to watch.
I
learned in WWII the importance of knowing the “enemy.” (I
never before considered the other party as my enemy,
but,,,)
Surely
there must be some good people ON THAT SIDE.
Through
Public Broadcasting I was introduced to a number of THEM
who received help
FROM
THE GOVERNMENT.
I too
was helped by the government all my life in ways too numerous to
mention: from the GI bill to CCC for
my father during the depression - the list
goes on and on. Like my father, I was a veteran
of a World War When
people thank me for my service in WWII, I want to thank them for
paying their taxes. Even two
of my children are alive and my wife lived longer because the
government paid for their kidney transplants.
AND
SOME OF ITEMS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO SOME PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE
COLOR OF THEIR SKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The
final speaker said of same of the guest, "I did it
for you.," I would have wanted to reply,
"No, Mr. President, The Office of the Presidency did it."
Many
of those introduced, seemed to be a bit “different” or out
of place. I
Of
course knew of course all the attendees knew they
would be safe because the military forces were nearby on the
ready!
But
I digress. WHAT CAN I DO – ESPECIALLY AT 94? I,
my family and friends knew something had been bothering me
for some time: Lost my appetite and my
confidenc - got too excited - woke up too early and
couldn't nap.
All
of a sudden I realized that “IT WAS FEELINGS OF GUILT.
Before
I felt that, "this National nightmare would soon be
over with a Democratic landslide," Now, I was truly afraid
we might lose this election and FEARFUL that I was not doing all I
could to prevent that,
I
even developed contingency plans. First choice, Canada (but maybe
they won't accept me); then, start a commune for all my extended
family (illogical – dumb idea); and finally, I'll look
forward to meeting the “Grim Reaper” with open arms in order to
escape from living FOUR MORE YEARS under this despotic dictator. And
so I came to this
CONCLUSION
for ME:
It
is most important that:
I
communicate every day with my friends on my old blog until the
election. I'll continue to communicate with the 1,000s of (esp)
young people throughout the country as I did
successfully for the past 5 or more years,
And
I hope YOU
and
all who want a country where everyone can live without FEAR, to
remove the present egoist and his syncopates from the White House and
replace them with a team of patriots under the leadership Biden and
Harris.
AND
FINALLY – Since Mr. Trump so respects “the greatest generation”
and how great America was then, I want as many Americans as possible
to hear from THIS ONE who lived then and will give an honest
accounting of what America was then TO AS MANY AS I CAN..

PS:
My generation knows that if the drive and intensity of young people
who have peacefully demonstrated for justice for all continues
through November 3, we will truly MAKE AMERICA and
have a democcrtiv sweep.

This will be my last weekly reminders. Because daily blogs
are so time consuming, but enjoyable for me, I MUST simplify.
