Lambs to the Slaughter

Once upon a time, the American People was a group one could be proud to be a part of. Not so anymore. "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." (B. Franklin) Since the government can't police itself, it looks like they're going to get away with the destruction of this grand experiment.

I'm not bailing quite yet -- family keeps us here for now -- but I certainly feel no loyalty to the government as it is today or to the country that let it happen. My father was an immigrant; I see no reason why I couldn't be one as well.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
