Only the 2nd Post?

Welcome back to Mayotopia, where its a beautiful day.

There goes that every couple of days idea. Well as anyone with a job and an infant can tell you, there is not much time for much else.

The elections in Iraq were two days ago and showed the world that democracy is a pretty good idea even if you face the possibility of death just for showing up to the polls. Think of it, this is the first time Iraqis could have a say in how they are governed and some 60 - 70% of eligible voters showed up even though they could have very well been killed just for being on the street that day. And in the U.S. we can't even get that kind of percentage in a major election even when people are offering rides to the polls. We have definitely become complacent and rather ignorant in this country of ours. Shame on us. Think of the millions who have died around the world in pursuit of the freedom we don't even think about.

Speaking of shame. Would Senator Kennedy please just shut up already? Can anyone tell any good this man has done while he has been in public office? Sorry I can't be fair and let everyone bring up something that Ted Kennedy has screwed up, words he misspoke, someone he killed, or just proved that he is anti-American and anti-democracy because frankly we don't have that kind of time. If Tom Daschle can be voted out of the Senate then please can Kennedy be next in line after Minnesota's own embarrassment Mark Dayton. Could Dayton try to be anymore like Kennedy? Oh I hope not. Don't worry America, we will have plenty of volunteers to run against Dayton on the next go round, that is if his own party doesn't get to him first.

American is not a country of socialistic beliefs. We are a nation founded on Liberty, Justice and the knowledge that every human can achieve success through their own effort. We are a nation that has morals. Character does matter and our country's leadership must wake up to these principals. Some have and are now occupying the White House, the majority in the House and Senate and can be found across every state in the land. The problem is much deeper that politics, its about your soul. If you love power and money then what you do will reflect that. If you love justice and mercy and walk humbly with your God then your life will reflect that. Which would you rather see in the mirror??????

Good night from Mayotopia. We'll keep the common sense coming.
