straight talk

Just adapt to it.

Well after writing over 250 articles concerning the state of the state, mankind and religion it is evident that nothing will ever change. You can write and write and write but the fact is not many are interested in change, problems or anything except that which impacts them directly. As long as they have their job and can do their thing it really doesn't matter. It is as simple as that. But let it impact them and boy the complaints come out loud and clear. Not action, just complaints.

What do I mean by that? Well we have so called leaders who in my opinion can only look out for themselves or their benefit. There is no concern for the plight of the average family or poor until it strikes them personally and they really could care less. All one needs to do to substantiate this is look to Florida or our National Government and the answers are written all over. How these people look themselves in the mirror is beyond me but then again I suppose they look into that mirror and say the words, "Mirror Mirror on the Wall". Yes, the Democrats are arrogantly spouting they are in control while actually doing more of what the President wants done then his own party. So what do voters who are polled say? You got it they love those Democrats. Yes, the same ones who say one thing but do another. Think not then check some of my articles or better yet check their voting records. Republicans, well as I stated they come from the same egg.

Ok, what about our sports figures or personalities? Give me a break, jail, abuse of the law, drugs, murder, adultery and sexual abuse, which is all expected, laughed about and condoned. It is even bragged about by the same ones who do it. Preferred treatment is all part of the “I am above the law’ attitude that sweeps all of our institutions. They get lighter sentences, sentences pardoned, let off with minor if any fines and these are our role models. “We’re going to get tougher" yes, we promise right after this one. We know it, they know it and the legal system knows it.

We have business leaders who preach belief in God then lay you off for more and more profit. Allegiance is for the poor and middle class who are necessary to fight the wars. They lay you off and take your job and switch it offshore, and then they go to church and thank God for His blessings and the extra wealth. Sorry you editors don't like to read it or say it but it is a fact.

So where are those who are supposed to stand for right, justice against sin and darkness? Yes, they are out standing next to that business leader who just donated to the church. Yes, they are at supper with those politicians and business leaders, you know at the head table sort of thing.

What about our freedoms? Yes, what about the predators who rape and kill our children and then we have to sit back and watch these people walk or get light sentences. A rapist in Kansas getting let out on parole and hours later breaking that parole and the judge said nothing. This same judge may let him go again. Rhetorically do you think it speaks to that judges character? Yes, you get a fine or worse for breaking the law, illegal workers get church support, a free education, medical care and now even access to Social Security and we are a “Nation of Laws". Yes, a Nation of Laws for the Average working and poor. You better obey or else.

Yes, you could write pages and I have, but eventually you come to realize it isn’t worth it. It is one big façade that keeps us all talking. It is the Pyramid of Life. The Top always has, the bottom never have and the middle pays for it all. Yes, It is a Lolli Pop World and we are all part of it. It is what it is because God Himself understood just how bad it is. He destroyed it once and will have to do so again.

I for one do not think God is going for number three because strike three you are out. There are no answers because it is so blatantly hopeless, even while some of you will be upset and disagree, perhaps one day you too will come to understand just how totally hopeless it is for man. It is beyond mans ability and reach to do what they say they profess regardless of their education or ability. Oh sure in a few, but these are the ones heading toward the gate. The rest took the wrong turn and unfortunately “ that’s a fact jack" as the line for the movie line says they are going away not toward even though they think they are. Their deeds show their path very clearly. It is like the child in class who gets caught passing a note and then turns and says "I didn't do anything". They expect to be let go even though the hand was in the cookie jar. You see if you lie enough many will not know just what is truth or not.

So until and when God comes back my advice and suggestion is just adapt to it.

Now I myself haven't stopped writing , emailing, calling or using my wallet to make a point. It is just that I do not allow myself to get as upset when some of our leaders do nothing or when they do something that impacts us. It is what I understand as a lack in my opinion of their character.

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."
-Samuel Adams

Mr Melaccio, I have read many of your articles and your beliefs are well known. That said, are you active politically? Not just in writing letters to your representatives, but involved in the political caucuses? You would probably be a good advocate and those grass roots meetings are where the real change takes place.

Yes, many have asked me to get involved. No excuses but I am a shut in and have been taking care of my invalid mom for three years now. Aside from personal time here and there I just do not get out much. Mom is 92. What time I do have is trying to survive. However, I am involved with a well known third party but frankly I have not seen much difference with them either. In fact all of the third parties have their own agenda's. You see the fact is regardless of the format they never answer the question. They talk around it. However, I do endeavor to get involved with selected candidates when I can. I also focus on those who demonstrate my beliefs in some manner in business,church or local office. Thanks much for your comments, respectfully,

I don’t usually respond in this manner however regarding J L’s comment . The real change takes place when the politicians, business men, and all other corrupt officials in society are met with the facts of life. Not a sermon from naïve preachers scolding and threatening the fires of hell .But when the realities of life even have these preachers begging to be saved. when the reality is you are going to hell and no one can save you and this is a fact you know to be true. Then and only then do you show you want to be saved and are working for the salvation of your own soul does the world unite. And to all you fools who have no idea what I am talking about you have not yet seen the true light and facts of life. But you have been saved
