Some would call the era we live in today "The Great Awakening", but prefer to call it "The Great Unraveling". While yes we are "waking up" once again in America (as Ronald Reagan put it), but we are also waking up to a great mess. A tangled weave of beaucracy, deceit, lies and backroom deals. Sometimes we feel like Gulliver of "Gullivers Travels" waking up and finding ourselves tied to the ground by a weave of string webbed together by a host of "little people". We now must get up from this mess and untangle ourselves. We are re-learning our history and re-teaching our children who have been lied to over a long period of time and re-training them on what it means to be an American. I was agast at a video I saw where Jay Leno interviews several people and asks them BASIC BASIC questions about the 4th of July. People could be recount WHO we were getting our independence from let alone WHY. Others could not even remember how many colonies there were or who led the Americans in the fight. In one family the father, mother and son where shown ALL to be idiots when it came to their own countries history. It was the GRANDFATHER of their family that was the only redeeming member who knew all the answers. I must say I have learned more about my history in the past 4 months than I have in my entire life. My hope is that more and more people will wake up and help unravel the mess we are in. We need to talk to our friends and our neighbors and get them involved. We need to show them that they cannot count on the schools to do the job for them because THEY WON"T for they are part of the "little people" trying desperately to hold us down with their tiny ropes of lies and half-truths.
