And Behold a White Horse

Sometimes inspiration can come
in the form of a subtle message.
Regardless of how much we may admire modern technology in the computer
age, the human brain will never be equaled in its ability to sift through a
massive amount of input and file away, (perhaps for decades) those bits of
information that may prove valuable in the future.
With
that as a preface, we can only hope that enough valuable information will be
filed away for the future from the massive amount of confused sewage now
flowing through the media. None of it
is inspiring, and most of it is pure bunk.
That
brings us to the theme question: Just
how knowledgeable is the American electorate on anything these days? Well, um, we can only hope that many more
are a bit more knowledgeable than they were the last time around four years
ago. As we round the bend into the last
lap of this horse race to the White House, I thought it only proper to ask the
question.
Elections
can be like personal relationships.
When times get hard, I mean really bad, humans (especially weaker ones)
start looking around for someone to ride up on a white horse and save the
day. “Why a white horse?” you might
ask. No! You wouldn’t really ask that, would you? Would you rather see a red, black, or pale
one? Or perhaps some are expecting all
four! Yes, they are. You know it and I know it. It is a horse race after all, and if I am
being too cryptic here, well, this is an educational site, so just look it all
up.
Ladies
and gentlemen, stop looking for the rider and take the reins of the horse
yourself! That is what America is all
about and it what she has always been about.
No one is going to come riding up on a horse of any color to save the
country! No one! I am a lot more worried about surviving the
people who would elect leaders with clear intentions of destruction than I am
about surviving that destruction. At
this point I would not even make a guess at how this election will turn
out. I don’t know. We are going to have to deal with the
results no matter what, though, and that will be the much harder struggle.
The
survivors will survive, and the weak, ignorant, and evil will perish. That is a given. How much pain and suffering we have to endure to arrive at that
endgame remains to be seen. There will
be a lot of it no matter what. No pie
in the sky attitude will change that.
If we mount the right horse and can keep a firm grip on the reins, we’ll
get to the right end faster.
