JUST ANOTHER STORY

Dear Mr. President

Honorable Madam Speaker
Honorable Senators John McCain
Barrack Obama, Jack Reid

There are leaders, and then there are leaders, Idi Amin was one, so was Hitler and Joseph Stalin was one also. But the great leaders are those who have their people follow them through thick and thin, willing to make sacrifices for the greater good of the nation. The great leaders are not afraid to tell the truth when needed and not willing to compromise their honor even when they may risk their own positions. Lincoln believed slavery was wrong and fought a civil war that cost the nation six hundred thousand lives. Crusades were fought by the people who believed they were right and thought of themselves as defenders of truth. Today it is hard to find a leader that is willing to speak the truth and thus compromise his or her own position of power.

In the bible we are told the story of Moses, (I am a non –believer myself)., that when Moses returned from the mountain he saw his people worshiping calf made of gold. To me this parable has always meant two things, the gold represents the worldly riches, and the calf in the story is the same as the Bull on the Wall Street, once again representing the worldly riches and wealth.

Now may be this is stretching it too far, but we come to decide whether we should pass bail out bill or not we should consider what effect will it have on our future, really the near future. Can we really go on supporting our own and the global boom and “prosperity” with the borrowed (printed or created) dollars? How long before we will have to sell our children in to slavery to pay off these debts. Would we need start smothering our kids and euthanizing our elderly because we could not pay for them? Will we start a new CCC, only this time called the “Caloric Conservation Camps” to save the cost of food to pay off our debts? Will we have to call upon patriotic citizen to transition out early?

There is also a story of a man called Jesus who gave his life to save the world, and the story of his disciple who sold him out for thirty pieces of silver,. And me, I just wonder
