In Lak' ech Ala K'in

I have been dismayed over the past few months by the political apathy of my children's generation. I could not fathom that they had no concern for the socialistic trends enveloping this Republic. Today I am not only dismayed, but appalled by the number of folks of my own generation who are "Out of that stuff" or "Don't want to get involved because it's too complicated and doesn't do any good anyway." Many of them are my relations!

When you give up and "go with the flow," you end up in the delta with the rest of the silt. It is only by swimming against the current that we manifest our individuality and it is our individuality that separates us from the commune. It was this very trait of our forefathers that made this country so great. The ingenuity and creativity of free thinkers who were unencumbered by government regulation made this the greatest nation the world has ever known.

Then came the liberals. As they have done throughout history, their thinking has led to the fall of almost every great society the world has ever produced, including most the the Chinese dynasties, the Greeks, and most recently, the Roman Empire. If we don't actively fight back and "swim against the tide," then we are in danger of being next.

In Lak' ech Ala K'in, We are our brother's keeper. "No man is an island" and we must work together and get involved if we want to keep what we have. Otherwise, there will always be somebody there to take it away from us. Currently, this is happening everywhere. We are being attacked from the inside and the out. It can seem overwhelming at times, but the solution is in our hands! We vote, we purchase, we speak out. These are the only tools we have and we MUST use them or we will find ourselves, one day, without.
