HAVE A WONDERFUL 2012

Watching the count down of the ball in Times Square, in  the warmth, safety and peace and quiet of my living room, I thought of so many good things that transpired in 2011.  While some people immediately drop any memories of wrongdoing  in the deceased, I have no such direction.  I am relieved that Osama bin Laden is no longer alive.  While the head of Al Qaeda was made inoperable, neurologically the body continued some thrashing.

The many revelations about the state of our country, its finances, and those who run it and put politics before the welfare of their countrymen remains a shocking truth.  Once again, lies permeate the campaigning, leaving we common folk to wonder how our country was hijacked by those amassing great fortunes at the expense of others.

Elizabeth Warren stated it clearly when she said, speaking to the corporations, how much they owe to all the workers, services and taxpayers who worked to get then there....only she told it in a more passionate and interesting way.  Scroll down to the video.

We can only hope that Occupy Wall Street (our version of the Hobbits) will find the one ring that controls all and throw it back into the molten pool.  It would be nice if all the self-serving politicians could be thrown is, as well, but that is a lot to hope for come November.  Harry Potter did it all using magic but we all know that if we had the use of it today, we wouldn't have gotten into this mess int he first place.  Frodo (Lord of the Rings) did it with some Elfen assistance and lots of dedicated warriors to a certain point.  The last part of the quest to destroy the ring, after many obstacles which mirror pepper spray and police brutality (Saluman troops).
