What If: A Journey into Disrupting for Disruptions Sake
by
Deb CarverOwens

What if the American people got tired of all the disruptions in Congress and
called for psyche evaluations on every one of the
Representatives and Senators as pertains to senility with their positions
commensurate on a positive outcome of these examinations
 or they would all be impeached while the people voted in Congress positions
that the people elected could actually get along and
accomplish something for this country rather than their own egos. Would the
Congress delegates that are in office right now be able
to tell the American people what they could and could not do? 
Is that what is going on now as pertains to Congress disrupting
every single thing that the President does? Are those who are disrupting
everything actually aware that they are doing more harm
than good? or don’t they care anymore? Have they had their own way for so
long that they don’t care what we, the people, think?
Is there anything we can do about this if it is indeed going on? and what
might that something be?

What if all of the colleges took attendance of who was participating in
protests at their school and if a name was found that
was not on the list, the people were shown to the door by policemen? Would
all the disrupters that are causing the violence at
these rallies be “weeded out”? Would the protestors want to be peaceful as is
allowed by the constitution? or would they stick up
for the rebel rousers and join in the violence? Once the violence starts, is
everyone guilty of such behavior because the supposed
peaceful protesters didn’t disclaim the violent ones? Are we the people
supposed to stand back and let this go on time after time?
or is there anything that we can do about that? And if there is what would it
be?

What if the news media only reported the truth about stories and not
someone’s political views? Is the news media supposed to
report what is actually going on? or what they think is happening? Does
opinion matter more than facts in this day and age? Would
the views of we the people be different is we only heard the truth and saw
integrity in our printed and televised media? Is that
what is going on today? or are the news reporters so full of themselves that
they don’t care how much they are tearing up this
country with their unreliable reporting? or is that what is actually going
on?

What if the courts of this land didn’t overstep their bounds to tell the
President what he can and cannot do? Is that even

what is going on? Why is it legal for these people to tell the President “no”
when the safety of this country is in his hands?
Is our safety in his hands at all? According to some, he has no jurisdiction
over anything. Is this truly the way it is? or are
people so aggressive and egotistical that they will not pay attention to what
is needed in this country? And they will only serve
themselves and what their party wants even to the detriment of this country?
What if this country found the definition for “treason” again in its
language? Are the people who are leaking information to
the media traitors for doing it? And are the media members that print or
televise this information just as guilty as the ones who
released it? Is there a law that says that those who incite riots and because
continual disruptions are guilty of anything? or is it
their right to make such happenstances? Where is the line drawn that the
perpetrators of these incidents can step over into real
trouble? or when is their actions too much for it to be legal? Does anyone
have the right to disrupt so much that they block
normal people from their daily activities? Or is the right to protest
peaceful also mean that they can do as they please to
everyone else?

What if we the people took a few moments to contemplate these questions? What
answers would we find? Would they enlighten
us so that we can peacefully and united run our country as the constitution
set it up? or will this country be turned into a socialist country that has
very little freedom? Will we let go of our goals in life for advancement and
stay where we are financially? or will we have our advancements and growth in
the capitalist country that has, at least freedom? These are all
food for thought, but what are the answers? Does anyone know of any
suggestions that will help our situations? Are there any
solutions? I pray that there are good and right solutions to all of these
subjects.

What’s the Matter with Us?
By
Deb CarverOwens

Let’s write an article about something that was heard on the news a while
back. Why don’t we name it, what is the Matter with Us?
Should it go something like this? What is the matter with us? Should we let
the officials of our country break the law any
time they choose. Is there a law that prohibits the upper echelons of law
enforcement on Capitol Hill from granting immunity
to key witnesses that don’t testify in an investigation?

Is it legal to
destroy their evidence for them? the computers that
have possible evidence on them? What evidence do we have that these law
enforcement officials do this? The answer is:
they said they did. Does that sound like a confession to you or are they so
above the law that they are not worried about
anyone calling them to account?

These are legitimate questions. Should we ask them or just go on with our
daily lives like nothing is going on. When we get up
in the morning, do we care that something is going on at the Capitol? Do we
think about it at all? What will happen if we don’t
get interested in the way our elected officials govern us? Will the people
of this country get up one morning to a government
that has turned from freedom into a dictatorship?

I don’t know the answers to these questions, but what do you think? If you
really sit down and think about it, what are the
conclusions at which you arrive? Is it that we are heading for a rude
awakening in our very near future or is there a way to circumvent the
disastrous results of our current path? What is that path?

Some may say that nothing will change while others will be terrified about
the changes that they foresee. Which of these are you?
what can be done? Maybe there are steps that can be taken to stop a change
that we certainly don’t want. What are they?

Is there such a thing as a peaceful fall into dictatorship? This country
stands and has stood for freedom since its inception.
Is it at an end?

Will it continue? What are the answers to the questions
asked in this article? Maybe if we all put our
brains together, we could answer them; but we will all have to do it
together. I know, here goes that lovey stuff. Well,
is it time for us to stand together using that lovey stuff to save our
country or does it need saving? Think about it.
