Greeting Members and Readers.
On a rare personal note:
I searched for 6 months trying to find the car of my dreams that would consolidate my need for two vehicles, one for transport and one for transporting stuff, boats, campers, trailers. I found it, went to look at it. Ah, this one would do both chores for me, stylishly, as I had hoped.
The salesman told me how beautiful it was, how powerful it was and all about the austere but elegant and rich interior. I think he called it “quietly elegant”. He said that I would look good in it, and know joy as I cared for this beautifully crafted rare machine. The price was unusually low, one that I could handle. ” It looks flawless, doesn’t it? The price must be a glitch in the pricing system, act now”, he said.
So, I decided to trade both my vehicles for one vehicle and save on insurance, registration, etc…. I pulled at my wallet and just in the nick of time, my friend sent me a text regarding that particular vehicle. This car, within my grasp, was deemed to be undependable, hard to repair, broke a lot with questionable and proven drive-train issues — and parts were high and scarce. The price was low because few wanted to buy it, yet it would have looked great parked under my teak carport. And I would have looked great in it — I wanted it for all the wrong reasons even as I imagined the cost and effort to replace a transmission. Yep, with only one car, I would need a rental while I waited for the repair. Fast forward, 4 hours.
I did get to the lake in my old trustworthy, not so beautiful SUV with boat in tow and I learned that vetting is important, before you act or vote, when considering a different car or trading a constitutional Democracy for a fluffy beautifully described form of communism.
We all want to feel special, exceptional, and privileged. We will fall quickly to anyone that knows the psychological trigger word or statement that will undo all of our earned wisdom. Beware! I was embarrassed.
Listen for these clues during the great Debate! Trump will be abrupt and specific, informative with a detailed plan and Harris will be fluffy, brag about how she took on the cartels just miles away from her office and tell us about an opportunity economy. What is an opportunity economy? Is that a program for illegal aliens who now are in our country and have the opportunity to steal, rape, or kill with a judiciary that turns a blind eye to such anarchy? Maybe so! Is that the kind of economy where the uninvited seize on the opportunity to steal your Rolex, your lawn mower or your little girl? Is an opportunity economy otherwise known as a target rich environment?
She will use fluffy empty words and tell you quietly that she has her values but now they are different or opposite than last year. What? No one really knows her values. Not even her! They are just pretty ideas that she will use to get your vote, that are not reality based.
Do we want to hear about fluffy, descriptive and vacillating values or capably driven policy with a plan?
Be Aware or you may never get to the lake! I was almost stuck forever in my carport, “looking good”.
