Great Comments re: 'budget,' Dem vs Rep the great distractio­n

Darrell Borza: Love the banter here. Dem vs Rep the great distractio­n.
His take says alot... "“Love the banter here. Dem vs Rep the great distractio
n. It is an assumption that one party has been bought and the other not. Those days are long gone. Ask any career lobbyist. This is a take over of the energy industry, with oil leading the wolves at our door, and they are there - big fangs and all. Its the same old same old, but with a new player on the field. The chanting American people coming out of the woods. Us regular folk are connected now to reg folk all over the world now, even with the US media manipulati­on nearing black out. This is showtime for Americans. We have little left to loose, and all leaders know this is a dangerous time for us all. There are solutions, but none that the govt or the billionair­es will allow, but we know they are there. We are NOT uneducated serf's as Walker and co seem to feel we are. Not cattle, not sheep. Those days too are gone. One thing remains clear - we cannot rely on anyone now but ourselves. We the people are just that now and we are essentiall­y government -less and under attack from the corporate sectors strongest and dirtiest players. Keep fighting amongst yourselves­, it is essential to the equation for conquering a people. As far as ' bending over ' both dems and reps have been bent over for a long time. Help your neighbors stand straight again.”"

Sunset, Venice 12/20/2012
I've been thinking some about the Winter Solstice, the Mayan end of the 30,000-year-cycle on 12/21/12.

What if in fact the world did end? Even though this probably will not happen, to live consciously it is honest for us to take a bit of an inventory.

Am I happy with how I've lived my life? (Yesterday, I thought mostly yes, with some areas for improvement, as below.) Are there changes I would make?
Would I have tried to forgive those that were hostile or disappointing to me?
Would I spend more time with those I loved the most, telling them that, feeling that more?
Would I be happier, grateful for what I have, what I've experienced, the joy, the beauty in this world?

Maybe the answer is yes to all of the above.
So this time can serve as a point of rebirth for all of us. If we think about it.

Because somewhere along the line I realized I think maybe mankind deserves it. !
The way we are killing each other, killing the planet.
How selfish we are, and snotty to those around us. Petty, competitive. Why is this? Do we have to behave this way? (I say no, it greatly detracts and misdirects energy from the full-time celebration in which we could engage, the great multi-cultural, multi-rhythmic dance we can sustain here.)

Maybe God or the Great Universe is fed up, and will pull the rug out from under us.
Don't think I can say we could blame Him/Her/It.

But it probably won't happen. (Probably not! This time.)

Still we are finite on this ride.

It is a time to think, am I happy with how I've lived my life?
Hopefully most of us can say yes.

For the part of us that have a little worry, a little sadness....
This is the time to be present.
This is the time to be the person you want to be, that can die at peace, that can hope to every day be able to look yourself and the Universe in the eye and say, how beautiful, smiling, and thank you. Let's do that.
