I haven't blogged in almost a year. Why you might ask, life. My life has gotten in the way of me doing something I love to do. Write. This morning as I laid in bed, I felt the cool fall breeze blow over me. I huddled under my blankets and cuddled next to my 6 year old. It was one of those mornings that I wished I was still a stay at home mom homeschooling her two sons. The reality is I am a working mother pushing her sons into a school for 8 hours a day. I spend 8 hours doing busy work for people who are making far more money then I am. I should be thankful. It's a job. It's a good job. With the way unemployment keeps rising today, people would give their right arm for my job. Yet for me its a painful task every day to do something I gain nothing from and send my boys away to be in the assembly line like the rest of the sheep.
I wish I could play hooky today. The boys and I could run through the forest collecting leaves. We could hit the beach and watch winter roll in. I could read to them and we could discuss our book. I could bake a nice apple pie with them and as we work we can talk about fractions and the scientfic process of baking a pie. In a better world I would have a cute little B&B and cook big meals for my visitors as my sons and daughter helped me serve our guest. As a family we would have this wonderful place for people to escape the miserably jobs they hate and the life they seem to be "just living" instead of being a part of life.
But its almost 7:30 and I have to go. Time to get to that "good job" and send my kids to that "good school" so I can be like the rest of us marching to the beat of someone else's drum.

G-20, how could a letter and a number be so wrong?
I did not have time to go to the G-20 Summit that was held Last week. Sadly, my life got in the way. Too be honest I am not all that familiar with G-20 or what is. After seeing fellow Americans be badgered by
Police, losing their right to free assembly, I had to do my research. First I Googled “What is the G-20 Summit?” And to my disgust I read that it was group of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors. My readers, does that not terrify you at all? The first thing that comes to my mind is New World Order.
They are a group of rich men that get together with other leaders of the world to discuss financial systems. While there has been media coverage of this event no one has really spoken about what this event means and why it is even necessary I also learned in my research that it is normal practice for the G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors to meet once a year. Why is not televised on ABC, or CNN, or FOX for that matter so then we the people can see what these great leaders are talking about? We have already surrendered our Banking Industry, Real Estate Industry, Educational System, and Automotive Industry to our government, now surrendering our right to know what our leaders have planned for us. Should we be suspicious of this group, G-20, having meetings behind closed doors? Am I the only voicing these concerns about this group and its true intentions?
I think this group and groups like it ensure that America will not be a capitalist country in the near future. That socialism and communism are knocking on our door. The only way to stop it is to protest at events like the G-20 Summit that was held in Pittsburgh last week. If we come together as a nation and speak out against groups like this that will change the scope of our country, they will have no choice but to listen. Remember my readers they work For us, it’s not the other way around.

The Box
How many of you watch TV? When you watch TV do you normally get your information of what is going on in the world from it? The beginning of TV ...Bell Telephone and the U.S. Department of Commerce conduct the first long distance use of television that took place between Washington D.C. and New York City on April 9th 1927. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover commented, “Today we have, in a sense, the transmission of sight for the first time in the world’s history. Human genius has now destroyed the impediment of distance in a new respect, and in a manner hitherto unknown.” This my friend was the beginning of the end of our ability to think freely and for ourselves.
As this election moves on, for the first time in my life I realize that little box has changed the lives of the masses and not for the good of the people. It influences our lives to the point of insanity. To what we eat, what medicines we take, who we vote for, how we feel, and how we think. If you notice in 1927 the first broadcast was conducted by the government. That speak volumes to me, does it you? We are like brainless zombies just sucking in all they want us to think, feel, and speak. And it is no accident that the fall of this nation started when TV's became the central piece of our lives. We eat around it, we sleep with it, we use it to babysit and entertain. We assume what the report to us is all truth without using our own reason.
We cannot use that reason anymore. It has been turned off. Like a switch. We have been conditioned. Brainwashed. All of this fighting about this election totally proves this. It's all an act, a show, a performance being played by the puppets of the government. None of them are in this for the good of the people. They both have special interest. Notice that the candidates who are not a part of the two big players cannot speak at debates, cannot get TV time, will not be seen on CNN or FOX news. They, the powers that be, do not want you to have those choices therfore you are not fed them.
We are incapable of free thinking. We are incapable to care for ourselves. We are conditioned to believe we need credit. We have been taught more is better. We are a part of a large herd of sheep that expands the oceans and lands. Like puppets with hands up our back ends being made to play the part they want. You do not have choices. You do not have free will. You do not have your own life. They own you.. all of you.
Keep watching that box. Let it fill your head with the rhetoric they want you to consume.

A little bit of poetry, "The Pink Elephant"
The worry
The fear
Of you not always being here
It is always in the back of my mind
Poking its ugly head out reminding me its there
Stop please
Stop worrying
Stop having that fear
Can't we just enjoy our life
The one that is here
Not last year
Not 5 years ago
Not 10 or 15
But today and tomorrow
The future and beyond
Those are the days that matter
So please stop
Stop making me worry and fear
Because I love you and I always want you here.

He will not save us!
My ideals and thoughts are not popular. The U.S. Government, at one time, did not try to police the world or play babysitter to everyone from cradle to grave. People took responsibility for themselves, their families, and their communities. That is how the founders of America thought it should be. What happened? How did we loose that, and how can we get it back? Why can't we help out sister Jane when she is financial disaster, instead of her having to turn to Uncle Sam to help her out? What happened to looking to your neighbors for help?
Obama is going to save the nation? How please tell me? More hand outs? More STUFF? More spending? How praytell will he be our nations savior?
Will he end welfare? The welfare system has been a failure, if you have not noticed. Our welfare system is unfair to everyone, including most of all to the poor themselves, who are trapped in a system that destroys opportunity for themselves and hope for their children.
Will he end the over taxation of us? Politicians spend millions of dollars to urge people not to smoke -- while spending more millions to subsidize tobacco farmers. They send billions overseas for foreign aid -- while the federal deficit swells. They spend millions to subsidize public art -- while working families struggle to pay their taxes. Isnt it ironic? Will he end this nonsense?
Will he stop the bailing out of companies? Will he stop rewarding thieves? And lets talk about taxes some more, This is quoted from the website http://www.lp.org/, "Let's take a look at a median income family of four in the 1950s. At that time, the Federal income tax amounted to only 2% of the family budget. Americans enjoyed the highest standard of living in the world.
By contrast, in the 1990s, the Federal income tax takes 25% of income for the same family of four. Taxes at all levels -- federal, state, and local; hidden and visible -- take about 50% of a family's income. We must work from January to June just to pay taxes.
It now requires two paychecks to keep many families from going bankrupt. Typically, a working mother brings home 32% of a family's income.
So, whether she chooses to work -- or must work to make ends meet -- taxes have stolen her contribution to the family budget. In other words, one spouse now works all year just to pay taxes."
Is he going to stop this? Will your Savior OBAMA stop this from happening?
Why is he our savior? Albert Einstein once said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"
Please stop fooling yourself, and PLEASE stop the insanity!
Just because he speaks well, dresses well, is charming, articulate, educated, and down right dapper, does not make him our hope. He is just like them. We need CHANGE true CHANGE!

What kind of Patriot are you?
As you most of you may know I am a Libertarian with firm believes in what our forefathers so admerably fought for. They left King George's hold to be free from Religious oppression and Taxation. They sought freedom to own their own land and see fit what to do with it. The worked hard and never took the easy rode out. Last night I watched the movie The Patriot and it was an emotional movie for me to watch. I am not sure I have ever cried so hard watching a film. I think many years ago I watched parts of it but I never really sat down and watched the movie. It was, to say the least, incredibly moving.
Today we are religiously oppressed. People of all beliefs are told that they cannot express their religion, for example children cannot pray in school Christian or otherwise, children cannot refused to pledge the flag, and those are just two examples of how the government has oppressed those who have or do not have a belief in a God or Gods. Today we are taxed on EVERYTHING. What we eat, drink, touch, breath, heat our homes with, when we are born, when we die, when we work, when we play. We cannot live on our land, that we own, the way we see fit. If I live in the city limits I cannot have my garden too big, I cannot own a goat, I cannot add on to my home without permission, I cannot do plumbing or electrical work without a permit and fees attached to it.
All those things our forefather fought for are now meaningless to the people of our country. Thousands of Men, Women and Children died for those rights. The rights of free people of a great nation. We fled tyranny to create our own form of government slavery? I was already heartbroken watching what has become of this once great nation, but after watching that film last night it really has left me battered and broken. Why do we stand for these things? We will go over seas and fight for other peoples freedoms but we sit at home and let our own government destroy our republic? The irony is painful to say the least.
The question we should all ask ourselves is, what kind of patriot are you? Would you die for your freedoms? Would you sacrifice for your principles? Or will you stand by and allow King George back into your life and make all those things our Fathers, Mothers, Sons and Daughters died for be done in vain?

I spend all my time worrying about my kids education. I often question myself. Am I spending too much time on it? Do I worry too much? Should I just take a step back and stop being overly involved? I realize that all things in life have a good and a bad side to them. Education shouldn't be any different, only where is the line. That line that people over step and invade your comfort zone. I am feeling invaders in my space. There are certain things I will tolerate, and maybe they just do not see themselves over stepping their boundaries.
I really thought we found our home, a place we could feel our kids were safe, respected, and treated as an equal. It started out that way but as the layers peel back we are discovering that things are not what they always seem. As I said before, there is a good and a bad side. The good side is just amazing. The discovery that goes on, the time for research and true learning is there. Taking a small thing like an maple leaf, and learning its parts, its life history, how it produce sap, how the sap is then turned into syrup, the math of the measuring how much sap it takes to make a gallon of syrup, learning about the farmers and their lives, and how commerce works, it is endless. And these amazing things happen all the time.But at the same time a child can focus on their maple tree all day and never learn to spell maple, or know how to say tree in a native language, or have an adult near by to explain why sap only comes in February and March. Those things are missing from this amazing place.
Those things could be over looked because I can at home help them with those addtional things they may miss while away from me. What they cannot get from me is my protection while I am away. Protection from words, and actions that can break the soul of a child. I cannot protect them from being singled out, or made out to be strange, not part of the group, or not fitting into the mold that they so desperatly try to have families conform to. The word "cult" has passed my ears before from ex-attenders. Those who have left the "family" to move on to more "mainstream" or " more structured" environments. I was warned of this indoctrination that would happen to my family and I was blinded by my desperate need to have a place my children could be all that they could be.
So here I am.. back where I started. There are times I watch them with their peers and see them collaborating on projects together, learning about things far beyond their years in sciences and math, I see them read stories and novels of great literature, and I wonder would it be right of me to remove them from this group of thinkers. Then there are times when my son comes home and tells me what some students and even staff voice to him, he is the outcast of very few, which is almost harder then being alone in a crowd of 1000. He feels he is unheard, misunderstood, and that no one is listening to him. There are times when they over step their boundaries as educators and try to parent, even in front of me. As if I am not even standing there, or capable of making good choices for my sons.
I thank those of you who took the time to once again listen to my constant battle of the educators. I thank you for allowing me to spill my frustrated soul. Just hope for me, and my family, that these choices I am about to make are the right ones.
