The thing to remember about The System is that The System is always looking to protect and perpetuate itself. The System doesn’t want to be reformed because it likes itself the way it is, except that it wants to get bigger. It really don’t want to get smaller, and it will fight anyone it thinks is going to try to prune it back. That is why it has fought so hard against everybody it sees as a threat to it growing. And why it will continue to do so…
I’m sure we’re all happy that Biden has chosen to end the long legal nightmare involving our nation. The partisan congressional hearings. The rigged and unfair court cases. The illegitimate convictions. With a single stroke of his pen, Biden has freed the victim of unfair political witchhunts from the fear of going to prison. He has pardoned Hunter Biden of any and all crimes he may have committed while he was representing the Biden Family to foreign countries and receiving millions of dollars in payment from them over the last ten years. Feel the love, friends. Feel the love and rejoice.
As we cross from this weekend of Thanksgiving to the Season of Christmas, I do wish to note another thing I’m thankful for. Family. My mom may be dead, but I have a large family. One of my grandmothers was on of a dozen kids, one of her siblings had a dozen kids, and most of the rest have been busy following God’s commandment to go forth and multiply, so I have a lot of cousins spread all across the country. Most of us are in Minnesota or Iowa, where we settled in the late 1800s, but we scattered out from there to California to the East Coast, with stopovers in New Mexico and Kansas. So I get to see daily messages from all over the country, from people I know and love. And that’s a good thing to be thankful for.
Another thing I’m thankful of this weekend, and should remember to be more thankful of every day, is all the friends I’ve met over the Internet and never seen in real life. People I’ve written stories with over the years, or helped make programs that I and many other people have used over the years. People I’ve talked to or gamed with over BattleTech, Transformers, Star Trek, Star Wars, and all the other things I geek out about. The people I met on old forums and still connect with via social media or old school texting. I was doing some BattleTech stuff again this week and brought up the old faithful HeavyMetal programs by Rick to check my numbers. Good times and good friends.
In this season, I’d like to give thanks for having many family and friends nearby. I’ve had more invitations for joining people for dinner than I can shake a stick at. And that is an awesome problem to have. It beats the alternative by a country mile. But we should never forget to also give thanks for all the brave soldiers who can’t spend time with their family this weekend because they are deployed far from home. They make it safe for us to celebrate and give thanks.
