Eloquence and the nonexistence.
I have decided it was long time that I show and demonstrate that I care. I also decided which party I would lean towards.
I believe that people should be allowed to govern themselves. Less is more. I believe in Capitalism at its finest. Let those that excel radiate their excellance and draw people to them, so we can all be greater. Don't take away the motivation for excellance.
Anyhow maybe later. But my love of my country really began when I was 17. I visited Washington DC for a second time. I went with my mom and Danny. My other visit here didn't illicit the same response because of maturity and destinations we went too. This time we went to Gettysburg, Monticello, as well as Mt. Vernon and the institutions in the District. I developed a great love for the miracle of the foundation of my country and the fathers of it. Those willing to risk there lives for freedom to pursue excellence and allow others the same freedom. It was inspired of God. As I read the Book of Mormon I see the blessings and abundance given to this country for the greater good of the world. Power and corruption being a root of evil as we see by many world leaders today; it seems that most leaders can't handle power. That is why our Founding Father developed a system of checks and balances, and houses of government. I love my country. Also, my American Heritage class freshman year enlightened me. I understood the foundation of our country better and developed gratitude for the early american's sacrifices for the pleasures I now enjoy. Would I give my life for this cause? Those that have the greatest to lose have the hardest time letting go. What would my answer be then?
Love of God and Love of Country.
Maybe I will join the Airforce reserves like I had thought about for quite a while. Spring/summer next year. I can not do everything, but I can do something. I deserve nothing but must work for everything.
All that being said....I finally registered to VOTE!
Fatigue is setting in. Driving 32 hrs, a 3 day reprieve at home but threw away 28 years of my life, and 15 more hrs of driving. My train of thought isn't as coherent as the epiphanies from my drive.
