Back to the Future

It's scary when criminals run things. It gives everyone else a license to be a criminal throughout the nation. The tone is set from the top. Only God knows what will happen when we start allowing select prisoners to be released from prisons and others continue to be locked up. Is this justice? What will other prisoners think? Shouldn't they be released also?

The purging of 11 million immigrants will be exciting and time-consuming. If you think food is expensive now, please wait a minute. What happens when our produce supply is interrupted? What about the construction industry and housing costs? In this scenario, only wealthy people will have the money to own real property. Is this the objective? The affluent will giggle to the bank as poor and middle-class people bite the dust. Some are so consumed by privilege that they will lose their shirts and place the blame on someone else.  This time, things will be different. Stay tuned...

Tension is already in the air. People are not stupid. Check out what retailers are doing to minimize the impact of the tariffs. Many are preparing for the worst from all points. It's not something to admire.

If we can retain it, America has a good thing going on. We have been indulging in far too many video games. It is more challenging than it appears on Xbox. We cannot simply turn off our devices, recharge them, or take a snooze. It is best when everyone knows what it will be like on the ground.

Americans cannot imagine the horror of an endless war affecting every aspect of their lives. No more ATMs; no courts, judges, police, safe food supplies, delivery services; interrupted mail, power grids, Internet services, Wi-Fi, and cellular services; few restaurants will exist; we will have little medical care or prescriptions filled as expected, to name a few.

 Schools and churches will be targeted exclusively for terrorism. Our children will be exposed to whatever. There will be poison in our food supplies everywhere. In a lawless society, this can be expected. It's par for the course, baby. It's survival of the fittest, and many of us are unfit.

At a certain age, one's health becomes suspect. I am reasonably good health-wise and at eighty years old. Interrupted medical services, exclusively, will devour most of us, however. It will be complicated when some of us cannot obtain medical prescriptions like lisinopril, C-pac, or oxydrugs, to name a few. If these prescriptions can be obtained, there will be no guarantee that they will be safe for consumption or if there are concerns of sabotage or tampering.

We must remember that when people are being disenfranchised from their freedom, life, liberty, or happiness, we will have a vicious fight to confront. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Most immigrants are not privileged to have the comforts most of us possess. Still, they provide prosperity to our nation. If they are wise, they observe things from a different perspective, and most are more intelligent than most dummies can believe. It's only natural. We must be careful about what we wish.

We have been there and done that. Are we going back? There are alternatives...
