I cannot imagine a more enjoyable and wonderful life than I have had the pleasure to live. I was able to do everything I wanted to do, in both the business world and later in developing my rural ranch in BC in harmony with nature. IMO I hit life’s sweet spot where there were many opportunities for anyone with the initiative to see them or create them. Sure, there were setbacks and sorrows, but that is called life. But IMO that is all now pretty well in the past, unless a person chooses to use dishonesty and corruption in order to get ahead. Governments have become bloated bags of puss, more corrupt than ever in order to maintain and increase their stranglehold on their people. Big business has driven all the small entrepreneurs out of business and bought off all the legislators. All new laws are for the benefit of big business and government, not for the average citizen.
So what I see now is we are in a period of survival, not of prosperity. While I had a great life I do not expect my children to be able to enjoy the same. Did I create the environment they are faced with?? No!!! Certainly not!! And I will not stand for being told “it is your fault”, because it is NOT my fault. The things I did were for the betterment of the world, not for the destruction of it. The things I taught my kids were love, honesty, and integrity, not lying, cheating, stealing, and destroying our beautiful planet. Would I “erase” a few people from this planet, people I know are creating or increasing the corruption we are facing, if I had the opportunity??? DAMNED RIGHT!!!!! I have to observe what I am helpless to do anything about, right before my eyes, and I am helpless to do more than possibly sign petitions and make a few posts exposing the corruption as I see it.
Well, enough said. You know where I stand, and all the best to those who feel the same. Silverngold
