George Washington~ ‘My First Wish to See This Plague of Mankind, War, Banished From The Earth’.
So. What Could Be Mine is Mine. What Could Be Yours is Yours. The Grass is Always Greener on The Other Side. Jealousy. Bitterness. The Beating of Chests to Impress, The Damsel’s in Distress. The Most Popular Girl or Boy on Your Street. Who Do They Think of at Night Before Their Dreams?. Is it You?. Is it Me?. Put Down Your Guns And Knives, And Instead, Impress The Trees. Follow Along And Count The Flowers, With The Birds And Bees. Peace Waits in That Garden. No More Bloodlust And Envy. Or Bloodletting.
John Adams~ ‘Facts Are Stubborn Things; And Whatever May Be Our Wishes, Our Inclinations, or The Dictates of Our Passions, They Can Not Alter The State of Facts And Evidence’.
So. Facts. What is a Fact?. What is a Witness?. What is Truth?. And What is a Lie?. 99 to 1. The Large Group Conforms to a Bloody Group of Chaotic Venomous Toxic Souls. And 1 Remains Unwilling to Participate. The 99 Would Point Crooked Fingers at The 1. And Scream That He/She Must Suffer The Consequences.

It All, in The End, Ties Parallel Together. Somehow. Someway. And If You Find Yourself in a Heated Debate About Some Serious Subject. Know That Both Parties May Learn Something Very Valuable During That Argument. About Yourself. And Your Friend And or Friends.
James Madison~ ‘Knowledge Will Forever Govern Ignorance; And a People Who Mean to Be Their Own Govenors Must Arm Themselves With The Power Which Knowledge Gives’.

And it Ended Horribly, After You Wandered Through The Park Alone at The Same Hour You Were Warned About. Education Can Be That Wise Old Man. The Arts. Music. Movies. Paintings.

To Be On Guard Within a Disagreement Upon Reasoning From Each And Every Different Artist (Musicians Perspective) is One Thing.

One Can Learn From Anything That Bounces off of The Line Around Your Flesh Heart And Soul. 24/7 on Lookout in Slight Humor And Understanding isn’t Work For Those Who Thrive on What is Held Onto Passionately. It’s Jus a Very Long, Strange Vacation.

And Ask, Did America Make it All Possible.

The Government Will Exercise it’s Rights to Protect The Children.

And With a Little Bit of Help From The Paper And Cards With Some Advanced Education. You Too Can Make Your Own Mark. In The Lands of America.
Grover Cleveland~ ‘A Government For The People Must Depend For it’s Success on The Intelligence, The Morality, The Justice, And The Interest of The People Themselves’.
So. In God We Trust. It’s in God’s Hands. God is in The Details. And Faith. The Government Cannot Babysit Each And Every American. But With The Right Education. Pure Commonsense. And Court Systems With The Best Hope And Knowledge to Spend Objectivity Alongside The Love They Have For Even Their Own Families.

And All of Your Circuits of Energy. But Do Not Forget to Bring Your Commonsense. You May Need it During One of The Crossroads Set Before You.
William H. Taft~ ‘We Are All Imperfect. We Can Not Expect a Perfect Government’.
So. Up Above And Down Below. And All of The Middle Within Purgatorio. It is True, Striving For Perfection is a Great Way to Conduct Yourself Throughout Endless Troubles And Shaky Ground. But!, Perfection Can Call Much Imperfection into The Dimly Lit Halls of Redemption. None to Blame Though. For We All Could Use a Hand Here And or There. Sometimes No Doubt. But With Your Goals High Above The Rooftops. Honest Mistakes Will Have a Net Ready to Nurse Faults Back to Health. Quickly. And Perfectly.
Woodrow Wilson~ ‘The Man Who is Swimming Against The Stream Knows The Strength of it’.
So. The Wild Call of Nature. It Won’t Take Many Steps to See What Nature Can Endure. We Cut Down Trees. Pave Roads And Build Homes For The Suburbs. For The Cities. And Nature Has a Way to Remind Us That They Exist Also And Still. From The Birds Way Up High to The Worms Underground. If You Were Dropped Off to Live a Month in Some Deep Forest Would You Be Nervous About Your Stay There?. Would You Be Excited?.

We All Own Commonsense. Some of Us More Stubborn Than Others. Some of Us Easy to Get Along With. But Love is Love. And it Always Feels Good. And Losing it Can Sometimes Really Hurt. Even The Toughest Among Us Can Admit That. That Much We Can All Agree With. Trust is a Demon. We Either Have That in Our Safe Bubble. Or Try to Destroy it as Quickly as Possible. Like a Baby, Let’s Keep Stepping Forward. Yes it is True Being a Adult Has it’s Rewards. But It Can Be Said, Many of Us Are Acting Like Horror Movie Babies. So Let Thus Day be The Day You’ve Grown Up. And Became a Great Woman or Man. With a Gracious Understanding of Being Another Peaceful Human Being.
