Dear RM Agents and Readers,

We do our very best to give you the truth; some go for big readership and some are more concerned about giving you the truth as they see it at any moment in time. What I know today; is certainly expounded upon by each passing year of my life and my life experience.

I do not agree with all of Lions posts but am very grateful that he places information out and gives us thoughts to think about to form our own opinions.

In many ways, I wonder if I would be thinking like I do today if I knew the WHOLE STORY behind the scenes? Probably, it would sway my decisions and influence my actions even more in an opposing fashion.

Yet, I don't know; it would take seeing it and watching closely the interactions of the whole to get the information spot on. That would give me the position of God. There was a time that journalists were sued(still are if you are the enquirer) for spouting off fanciful creations.

Recently, I made a post concerning pharmaceutical drugs and suggesting that people should have the option to them if they want. I do believe they are killing a lot of folks; however, I do not wish to impose my beliefs on everyone else and it is the protection of my right to choose herbs and vitamins or whatever else the topic is so far as I'm not hurting or enslaving others.

Pharmaceuticals are hurting a lot of folks but then they go dutifully to the doctor to get their new prescription after the adds on the TV, go figure???????

Once again the raising up of this country, be it the news, our
health issues, crime or whatever comes down to the moral imperative to treat others as you would have them treat you.
There has to be a caveat there somewhere to say that others may need to be treated different than we call on for ourselves (within reason); because of their belief systems or whatever.

Again, within reason to the situation.
Who defines reason? A small group of people doing the best they can. The givers, not the takers---I don't want to stop folks from banter because that was when our nation was healthy.

There were coffee shops in America where people went and talked shop or politics and then came 2001 and the loud lively, happy banter turned to quiet, frightened whispers.

Just something to think about.

Many Blessings,
CrystalRiver
