"America's Lunacy Wagon"

There is of course much good in the world. That which is truly worthy of our gratitude and efforts to support and add thereto. There is also much that is not right. That which justifies our concern and responsible attention. Such as, the failure of our U.S. Congress to timely fund construction of a security wall across our nation’s historically-proven to be vulnerable southern border. As same Congress continues to obligate billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars to the care and otherwise handling of the countless illegal aliens that flow into our already dangerously in-debt and liberty-threatened country.

Now, I and likeminded others could choose to spend our truly-uncertain share of the blessing of “life,” on ways that possibly could more constructively communicate concern and contempt for our government’s irresponsible behavior. Such as: overwhelming the private and public phones, snail-mail boxes, and e-mail files, of our elected “servants of the people” with voice messages, text messages, and letters of protest. Say nothing about other approaches often used by some to air their respective grievances, such as: public marches, boycotts, disruption of traffic, public harassments, destruction of the business/private property of others, etc.

However, it is much more likely that I and likeminded others will continue to spend precious time using social media platforms and Internet websites, etc., to vent frustrations shared personally and by countless others. And, in so doing, contribute to the wealth and otherwise welfare of the creators, owners, and investors of Facebook, Google, and Twitter, etc. As the same extremely liberal-entrenched businesses use their complex algorithm technologies to control who (if any) actually have access to our expressed concerns, as well as when, in what format, and for what end-purpose.

And so, “America’s Lunacy Wagon” moves on! Pulled by horses named Ignorance, Apathy, Complacency, Denial, Greed, and Fear. With the horses’ reins in ever-tightening control of a sinister wagoner (driver) named Deep-State, and support wagoner named Fake-News. While rapidly approaching a crucial fork in the road—with one path leading to the Preservation of Liberty; the other to the Abyss of Tyranny. A wagon of lunacy often overloaded with a mix of politicians and other willful or otherwise travelers, and too often occupied by me and likeminded others. Each nevertheless craving to in some way make or contribute to a meaningful difference.   –William James Moore

I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.” —Helen Keller (1880-1968), American author, political activist and lecturer, and first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.
