A Dreamer's
Dream?
By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! I was wondering the other day - how can we - as a people...
have so many problems?? National problems...sexual problems...mental
problems...health problems...child problems...drug
problems.....insurance problems...financial problems...it seems
endless. But, I don't understand why.
We are the most "open" - as a people - in how many generations? Women
wanted their "rights"...and they attained them. Then they wanted the
right to adopt a child on their own...they attained that, too. Sperm
banks appeared on the scene...go sit down with a cup of coffee and a
"brochure"...a number and a history of the "swim team's" donor. You
know - blood type, occupation, IQ, major family diseases, etc.
We - as a people - talk about anything...anywhere...anytime. No
"repressing" our feelings. It doesn't matter what kiddies are within
hearing range - it's "open season"...female problems...male
problems...male/female problems...problems having/raising a
kiddie...problems with Grandpa's prostate...problems with Grandma's
innards.
The gays and lesbians wanted the right to be married...and a few states
said ok...with churches saying: "Put on your wedding duds, we'll
conduct the ceremony."
The Government bailed out GM...which became "Old GM." Oh - the
smell of money. Chrysler took some of the proffered funds. The Governor
of California said his state could use some help.
People have left their entire estates to charity: dog pounds, cancer
research, humane societies...some have put the available funds into
Treasury Bonds with only the interest being divided among
screened/accepted applicants for higher education, yearly...the
principle of which, will never be touched. This is another endless list.
And yet - for all of this - life has gotten worse! We have kiddies
running loose, committing crimes - like they're daring the law to catch
them - to even try to catch them. We have more kiddies/young people
openly doing drugs...like they know the drill: do drugs, get caught,
get the ticket, go to court, go to jail - repeat. (Do they get this
idea from a hair shampoo bottle - wet hair, lather, rinse, repeat?)
We have more people on prescription "medications" than ever before:
something to wake you - something to calm you - something to help you
deal with other people - something to help you sleep...repeat the
following day.
We have more people who say they have a good job with good benefits and
yet are on cholesterol lowering medication, high blood pressure
medicine, etc - another endless list.
So considering all of the above abilities to "be ourselves" - to be
"who we really are" - why do we have so many woes? Seriously - I've
watched people get divorced - and "come out of the closet" with a song
in their heart, saying it felt good to be "free" - find some "same-sex"
mate and - down the road they split. What went wrongly?
Are we dreaming a dream that just won't dream?
Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the
furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next
time. Ever Toodles!! MONA
