Glad to see you back. We need you.

I, for one, am tired of the word 'democracy' which is nothing more than mob rule. The United States in a REPUBLIC, to PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL, even if the individual is 'different'. It seems nowadays, protecting the rights of certain designated 'groups' is more important, than the 'regular' guy and politicians use the rights of the 'special groups' as a battering ram to get votes and then they leave behind them a trail of broken promises.

The OTHER way the word 'DEMOCRACY' has become a dirty word for ME, is the way our leaders use that word to invadeother countries only to steal their natural resources for the profit of corporations and their INVESTORS, who don't care if China has to hanging suicide nets to keep the workers from jumping out as long as the stock price stays up.

You are 100% right about term limits and AGAIN the people are to blame, voting for who their union bosses support and never give it a second thought as long as THEIR house is in order.

This planet is a mess and we DO need a 'global' network to make things fair for ALL mankind but not if it is run by a bunch of entitled psychopaths who think being 'rich' gives them the right to govern us . But if people don't WAKE UP and stop saying everything is a conspiracy theory, we are running headlong into a disaster where NO ONE will have

any freedom and sadly, they won't even know how it happened.

I hope you might again entertain the thought of running for office. We need leaders with integrity and energy. What you have accomplished with Helical Outposts is an example for people to aspire to. If not, please keep writing and posting the TRUTH. We NEED your words so we don't drown in our own tears. We need leaders who care about helping other countries, not stealing control of their natural resources. Instead of feeding a them for a day, why not teach them to fish?

Welcome back Dylan,,, ,,glad to know you are doing great once more....

Love & laughter should be ruling our lovely planet. Unfortunately it is painstakingly not the case. I see hard working families every day trying to make a better life for themselves & their children, but to no avail. It is so sad to see what this world has become. Even the 'silver linings' & 'sunshine' get squelched all too frequently. Alas,,,,we can all thank our governments & their ways..all around the world. Working together without argument or war would have been a better solution. Unfortunately the human race has been fighting & arguing since the very beginning of mankind. Did we not learn anything from Cain & Able?

I see democracy here in the states fading off into the sunset at a rapid pace every day, every hour, every minute. I shudder to think as to where we might be actually heading if things haven't changed in the very near years to come. We need to begin to tip the balance of power in D.C. a settled semi solution for sure....

Clouded visions & lack of transparency are to blame. We cannot blame any one person or party or country for that matter. There really isn't time for the 'blame game'. Bottom line, this world is sinking faster & faster into the debts of a deep darkness from which mankind might never come out of.

Our freedoms have already begun to be taken from us. Lets face it, even here in United States of America, the right to speak freely is sorely abated. The right to choose & live peacefully is sorely abated. Think about it, so many of those who spoke up and made it clear that they were Republicans where 'lowered on the totem pole', some where killed, others raped, business completely destroyed and there were so many innocent lives altered. All because they voted Republican. That says a lot of what is happening here in our country. Had the Democrats not squelched & hid the truth or clouded transparency of what was REAL, things would have been so much different than what they are today. The Democrats have gone too far in making those who didn't vote for them simply miserable. Being treated like scum off a shoe or a 'toy' to play with, really sucks for those who work hard from sun to sun just to make life happen. Then it doesn't Just another sure example of the fact that democracy & our freedoms are walking out the door as we speak. Unless there is quick change, we're all in trouble. Period.

Let me be clear here, I am not bashing the Dems, just making it clear as to what they have provoked. Maybe they thought about it, maybe they didn't, who knows. Fact is, the balance of power is tipped in the wrong direction.

Dylan,,,,I am proud of you & your success with Helical Outpost. If you are ever hiring, look me up & give a call... ..I might be looking for a new job then.

Looking forward to your next post.

God Bless & Be Safe With Your Travels.
