Our country the United States of America for many many years the motto
identified with "don't tread on me". "Freedom, justice, and the
American way" was an awesome statement that generated a lot of
attention and income for marketing agencies.
But in the past several years I've noticed that the motto has changed.
Now it seems to be more like "don't get in my way".
I see it in the abundance of mind-numbing activities and treatments.
I see it in the constant search for distraction and activity to go
and boast about. I see it even in the liberal movements that are
getting so much attention lately like transgenderism and socialism
and the like.
"Don't get in my way" says that any rule guidelines for decorum are to
be ignored as we step past the safety tape saying "do not cross".
You see people dying as they step out on a ledge or hang from a
rock or get too close to the lion that they jumped the fence to get in the cage with.
"Don't get in my way" smacks of disrespect and we see that in
day-to-day interactions and we see it amplified on social media.
I hope that we can teach more people about truth and true justice for
all not just subgroups. And I hope we can get the American way back
on what our founders hoped it would become.
