Uncle Sam is the greatest. Yes, and I am proud to be an American, remember in school when we saluted the flag and repeated the pledge of allegience every morning before school began. When prayer was a right for all. When little children could walk and play whereever they wanted with no fear of lurking strangers, we all were great friends, and a stranger was probably somebody who helped a child. When I was a child there were no strangers, they were all great friends to talk to, and many of the great wisdoms I learned were from some of those great people in my life, not strangers, no such thing. Change of attitudes does a lot folks.

Sometimes our friends stab us in the back. When this happens do we just lie there and take it, absolutely not, we do something about it and folks revenge is not it, that is for cowards. We are willing to change something, and believe me there is nothing is this world than can't be changed for the better, it takes understanding and awareness as to what we truly want, loving each other for who they are, just another human being like us, we truly are all alike, it is just that sometimes some of us get side tracked into hateful ways, and greed doesnn't pay off for very long, eventually there is a hole in our greedy ways that we can do nothing about, we cry, we moan, we rant and rave finally we come to our senses, our true selves, the loving self who only wants peace for all.

We do help our people. From where I came from and from what I learned, yes, we do not judge or condemn, oh some do but we learn to let them go, we share one with another with no expectations, knowing that each one of us has something to say that is good. We learn to trust God, we learn to trust our selves, and most generally we do learn to trust everybody else - trust is earned.
