Conflict

Things within my country seem so conflicted; more so than any other time I can remember. Such ugliness between those those for and those against: (take your pick!) There's so many subjects to follow that choice of pro and con; drilling/not drilling in ANWR, drilling/not drilling in Gulf, illegals in the country, closing/not closing the borders, national health insurance, accusations of racism. In addition, there the discussion of too many/not enough guns, how to handle the drugs, dealers and addicts. No matter what the subject, there's such angry, ugly exchanges.

How sad.

Do we have to have a repeat of 9-11 in order for us to think of America as a united country once more? I certainly hope not.

I'm proud of my country, and am saddened to look at the headlines nowadays. Also, I don't see much improvement in the future. The size of our National Debt does not bode well for the future. The idea that we can ever overcome this crippling amount of indebtedness seems impossible.

However, I still look forward to the beauty I see each and every day. I Bless my family, thank God for my good health, and pray for peace within my country.
