WHAT"S THIS ALL ABOUT

OUR SENIOR MOMENT is a blog site by Wayne M. Patten. The intention herewith is to be serious when warranted, have as much fun as we can, bring forth accurate information not always disseminated honestly - and to poke fun at everyone's ability to have blank fruitless moments - young and older. You can participate by sending along your comments. Just keep them clean. I reserve the right to fire back :-)

My loyalty and patriotism is loyalty and patriotism to one's country - not to its institutions or its office holders. The country, its states, counties, cities, towns and villages are the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing. America, in all its being, is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal and patriotic toward - not its leaders.

Whom Is Controlling Whom


There is a “power-group” in every town that spends everyone’s tax dollars. There is also “always” another extravagantly more powerful group authorizing the first group to spend those millions of dollars. We call the first cohort “Voters” - the second “Non-Voters.” Staying home is an unbelievably influential act.

HOW DO I KNOW, WHERE DO I GO, HOW DO I GET OFF

My younger and more talented friend, Lara Bricker, a columnist and reporter for Seacoast Media Group (Portsmouth Herald, Exeter Newsletter, etc.) once wrote,"Wayne Patten has an opinion about everything." I thought about suing her butt off then decided her impish smile and ability to make me laugh inside is more important. TO HELL WITH THE LAWSUIT! That's a good place for all lawsuits. Besides, Lara is correct. I find life exciting and interesting - just about everything interest me. And I surely have some kind of voiced opinion about just about everything drawing my attention. Especially religion and politics. This is natural for me - I favor those subjects shunned as unsafe to discuss. Oh! Well! It keeps life's currents swirling - which generates sustaining oxygen. To see Lara's impish smile go to her blog site at http://brickersblog.blogspot.com/ or click on her link above.

THE GREAT PRETENSE


New Hampshire shares a huge problem with the other “fifty.” We do a lot of pretending. We pretend that our state legislators earn a weak sum of $100 dollars annually. This looks rather frugal. With the largest legislative body in America we make believe we cannot afford to pay these public servants more. But – lobbyist can slip them a few rewarding bucks here and there. So – whom do the public servants really end up serving?

The people cannot afford to pay the Governor’s Council $150 thousand dollars per year – but the lobbyist can. We supposedly can’t pay our state senators $100 thousand a year – but corporate America can slide it their way. Voters just can’t afford to up the state representative’s take home to $70 thousand bucks per year – but the PACs are happy to make an investment. We all do often wonder why Wall Street owns government from bottom to top. That answer is simple: Government is Law – and Law is Power – over you and I. And that power is for sale.

There is something wrong! There is something dramatically wrong with political systems from sea to shining sea. That wrong is that the people are not running their government. Nor are we benefiting from our government. Hell! The government, from its base upward to the All Seeing Eye, refuses to listen to its people. The president and vice president blatantly declare that they “don’t give a damd what the people want.” Court judges openly rule that they will not be influence by the mass’s demonstrations. The government is running us. And – sickly – this is happening while it can’t even run itself!!

The solution to this all is not so simple. But the time to correct is now – while the enemy is weak. And the enemy of each American’s freedom is Corporate America.


Sweep Corporate Government out >

FATAL ERROR


Throughout America we historically refer to our Congressmen/women, Senators and Representatives, as “Lawmakers.” Consequently – these people feel obligated to write and enact laws.

Back in time, America was lawless. Now, America is law laden. Burdened. Crippled. Weighted by too many government laws. The laws of Nature say we will collapse or suffocate. As a last breath effort lets start labeling these people “Law Repealers.” Maybe We Can Get Our Individual Freedom Back!

FREEDOM'S DESTROYERS

It irritates me that the men and women we elect to public offices perpetually enact more and more legislation protecting “Ourselves” from “Ourselves” (Crimes without Victims). Protecting us from personal stuff that is none of the government’s damd business anyway. How about these Congress Persons, Senators, Representatives, Governors, enact and/or enforce laws protecting us from the Hoodlums on Wall Street and in Government. I am sure that one Elected Official screws-up more lives than One Hundred Cigarettes or a Hundred Unbuckled Seatbelts, etc.

A great place to start would be outlawing Lobbyist at all government levels. Another real Democratic act would be “Pro-Choice” with regards to all matters personal.
