"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. "
Thomas Jefferson
I haven't written in so long I just thought I would catch up.
Christmas was great the day of ,but the lead up is nuts.
Just too frantic.
We complicated things, as we often do, by going away for a vacation 2 days after.
One of our favorite places.
We had a great time but its allot !
We are settling in for the real winter now, as the temp is 19 degrees.
Its a long winter ,but all good.
I suppose we are getting to the age when people leave in the winter to go to a warm climate for a few months.
The point of today's writing is that the very premise of the country of America was that the government is not supposed to impose costs on the people without the peoples say so.
Just because we elect representatives doesn't mean they can become arrogant enough to presume they act in our best interest without our permission.
Just because you are elected does not mean you can pass legislation, for the sake of what you desire or think the American people want.
How arrogant is that.
Even if you run on the premise of doing something you must open the process to have the debate prior to inflicting policy on the masses.
This is what was wrong with England when we left .
I hope the American people wake up, and respond as they always have in the past when either or party got to far to one side, and do not follow the will of the people .
They will I am sure of it ,as once you have lived truly free it is not easy to go the other direction .
That is the wonderful thing about freedom ,It frees you.
Ha
