My Generation written July 18, 2011

I was thinking today about the downward slide of the economy into depression, the unwinnable wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,the acceleration in the rate of the loss of freedom, the wide open borders,etc.
Then the sad truth hit me in the face. My generation is in power and has been for the past 10 years. Most of the congress is around my age (late 50′s), and the president is even younger. I admit that we were ill served by the generations before us. We inherited a lot of these growing problems. But we have been totally inadequate in solving any of these problems.
What we’re doing or not doing now will adversely affect the generations coming after us.
Look at the pictures of the younger generation in your lives. Your children, grandchildren,nieces, and nephews deserve a much better future than the one being held out for them now.
Socialism, dictatorship,slavery. Is this the legacy that we leave behind?
The time is growing short.
