Just a Thought

This is just a thought, but when will we become tired of men and women who spout twenty dollar words with two cents worth of intent? In the still of the night I wake up with thoughts of "have I done enough today to possibly make a difference in not only my family's life, but to others as well?" Maybe I have but I'm more than willing to rise again in the morning and work as hard if not harder than the day before to improve some portion of life for others. It seems as if our governing body doesn't have that same sentiment in mind. We elect representatives to do just that; represent the voice of the people, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that isn't happening and I don't foresee it in the near future.
What is the idea of justice nowadays? Is it that as long as you follow some mad ideology you can get a free pass for infringing on the rights and privileges of others? We aren't created equal and we are all expendable to the point that we as a nation look the other way as our government takes each of our constitutional rights and removes them from our reach. Are we so afraid that we cower in the dark so that we might scoot under the ever expanding radar of our government? Could it possibly be that we are so beaten down and apathetic that we can't find where our give a damn was busted? I don't believe so, and that one word, "believe" is the dangerous idea. It means I still have faith in humanity and the human race to want to survive and prosper, rather than die and only leave a dust trail for a marker where we have been. Everyone has a varying ideology that is so eclectic that we must be able to find some points to agree upon, but it seems as if the major factors are so splintered that even if we could find a "middle of the road", we would still remain so childish and stubborn as to the smaller ones as to make peace impossible.
If I seem bitter then please forgive the sentiment. It's genuine and as I see it it's far better than what I see the care takers of this country giving us. For those out there who want to build a Utopia that doesn't include everyone, I beg that you leave out my invitation, because I'm afraid you would find my way of living very inappropriate to your way of thinking. But in the interim please get out of my life and keep your obsessive/compulsive, control freak ideology out of my way, because I think you will find I'm not your kind of subject, and I am mistress of my own castle and I have no master.
