I usually watch PBS on Wednesday evenings, and the first show, is always “Nature.” In it, regardless of which animals, birds, or fishes are shown, the results are always the same. Last week, it was all about ospreys, but it can be about elephants or penguins. The DVD is always available for $25 or so, and I wish that all kindergarten, and even first grade teachers would get them, as they are highly instructive and enlightening.
In “Nature,” mother nature always wins, and of course preserves the species. The big ones eat the smaller ones, and the dead, old, or disabled, are eaten by the hawks, eagles, vultures, owls, or raptors of various kinds, who keep the Earth clean, since in mother nature’s realm, there are no funeral directors, burials, or crematoriums.
Throughout our (human) existence, there have always been churches, charities, and kind people everywhere, who will always look after their own families, friends, and relatives. There have been charitable groups and clubs, who will help those in need. Families save for their old age, and of course, that’s why Colorado Gold is in business, providing toll free, registration free, insurance, against inflation and government wrought problems. Our insurance will always ‘go up,’ as the dollar ‘goes down.’ Many people will gladly work to prepare for old age, and Walmart’s always have obviously retired people greeting shoppers, to earn some extra money. That’s a healthy America.
Unfortunately, especially since FDR became President in 1933, the natural human chain of events, began to be disrupted, and that chain has grown stronger ever since. Were there nursing homes before FDR? In the 1950’s they were rare and virtually unknown. That I remember, from growing up in my Dad’s drug store in D.C. It is now customary to prolong life as long as possible, regardless of cost, pain, suffering, or kindness. My Dad died pretty quickly from lung cancer, after a lifetime of smoking ‘Camels,’ and never lived in a nursing home. My Mom, was put in one by a doctor, and I quickly signed an order not to prolong life. She died fairly quickly, after the nursing home exhausted her life savings, and I had to pay to bury her. They all do that. Ask anyone wo has ever had a relative or friend in a nursing home.
Whatever happened to capital punishment? Liberals now, at a cost per year, of an Ivy League tuition, have defeated mother nature’s method of keeping her Earth free from pollution and harm. Criminals rot in jails, and taxpayers foot the bill of billions each year. I’d restore the gas chamber or electric chair, final after one appeal.
It is natures’ way, for the old, weak, or sick, to go their natural way of death, rather than being imprisoned in a place seemingly inhabited by living vegetables, suffering endlessly, till death finally finishes them, with nothing left to even pay for funerals. My will states that I never want to be placed in a nursing home or anything of that kind, as I believe in euthanasia.
Today, mother nature’s way of dealing with human frailties, has been defeated by socialism of all sorts and disguises. The obvious result, is vermin living on streets, defecating and urinating on sidewalks. These worthless, lazy, drug-infected humanoids, are classic avoidance of mother nature’s methods of keeping Earth clean and protecting a species. What happened to the poor before FDR built the first public housing? What happened to sick people before Medicare or Medicaid? What has happened, is that the poor, sick, disabled, etc., are being cared for with your tax money, and bureaucrats who administer it, as the value of your dollar and freedoms decrease daily. Gone are the silver quarter a gallon of gas or a nickel Coke. Do I want to shoot the sick and debilitated? Of course not. I simply want to revert to pre-FDR times, when government was a hundredth the size it is now, taxes were a hundredth as they are now, with no nursing homes and asylums inhabited with residents who are probably existing in a human hell. Problems then, were solved with no government handouts or political involvement.
In America now, politicians and bureaucrats dole out endless welfare in a hundred-dollar debasing, human weakening forms. A typical one, has millions of single parent families, fostering rampant crime and violence, and major cities being un-livable. Endless handouts for food, rent, utilities, education, transportation, health, and yes, death. “The more you subsidize, the more you get. The less you subsidize, the less you get.” When people get paid for doing nothing, their numbers will always increase. Public housing, after a few years, even after endless repairs, usually gets demolished, and replaced by more. Thousands of neighborhoods have been ruined by public housing and handouts. Check out the East Falls neighborhood in Philadelphia, as a classic example.
I visited New York City at age 16, and the subway fare was a nickel, as was the Staten Island Ferry. “Tad’s Steaks,” was selling ninety-nine cent steaks, and Radio City Music Hall, had a 99-cent matinee, with full stage show, Rockettes, the biggest Wurlitzer ever built, and an orchestra. There was little crime, and I was free to go to Times’s Suare with not a care of any kind. Today, you may be injured or shot in Times Square. If I had opened a savings account then, what would the dollars be worth now? Biden has forgiven billions of dollars in school debt, and is attempting to give everyone a free thousand dollars a month. Inflation actions galore, eminating from D.C. In 1964, (last year of silver coins), at my Lansdowne Theatre, I had to raise my normal admission from 75 cents, to a dollar, for ‘Goldfinger,” and at my Calvert Drive-in theatre, I had a dollar a car night on Wednesdays. If I had opened a savings account then, what would the dollars buy now?
In all of recorded history, all nations have ceased to exist, because of failed currencies, causing out of control governments, socialism, weakness, and what we see now. I hope America lasts, even in its weakened condition, for a few more decades, till my kids and I won’t witness the necessity of using our metals to survive, but that’s what they’re for!
