Nomad News-Vol.4-No.79

CURRENT AFFAIRS QUIZ: I just took an internet quiz on Current Affairs. I got eleven of the thirteen questions correct. That's better than 85% of the general public. Does that make me smarter than the general public? Not be a thousand light years. What it does, is tell me that I pay attention and attempt to stay current so when I enter the polling booth, I know for what and for whom (or is it who) I am voting. That tells me that a good proportion of the general public don't. That is why we elect these Gombies* to the Congress, state governorships and assemblies. On November 4 we will go to the polls to elect 435 House Representatives and one-third of the Senators. I believe this will be the most important election in the history of our Constitutional Republic, the greatest form of government ever devised by man. A system that has raised more people out of poverty and to a standard of living not experienced by the rest of the world, all the while in an environment of freedom and liberty. November 4 will determine if we continue to be the Land of Freedom, or will continue to slide the slippery slope into socialism and eventually into a dictatorship. I'm 95 years old and maybe won't see this happen. We have no children or grandchildren to be concerned about. You will. You have. Do something. *Gombies. Evil spirits that enter the brain and make a person do evil things; like violating the Constitution of the United States. (copyright 2014-Andy Dolan)
