None of this needed to happen.
We were all in agreement.
We were all united.
#JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
The entire nation was one for a change.
Why?
Why did we ruin that?
I have a sadness in my heart.
Instead of embracing that moment and becoming the nation, the people, we want to be, we burned it to the ground.
Why?
Where is the justice in this?
They say Justice is Blind.
It appears to me that the people are blind.
I beg of you. All of you.
Please stop this nonsense.
I pray the strength of God guides you.

I have decided not to run for office this cycle.
I will dedicate my time to my local cause.
I have a ten year urban renewal plan that I embarked on over two years ago and will focus my efforts on that.
I am 8 months behind schedule and over budget.
All private money.
Wish me luck
My plan offers a pathway to prosperity from the paycheck to paycheck all the way down to the homeless.
My plan involves private sector investments with an objective not of building but rebuilding.
Stay with me.
We successfully restored a historic building in downtown Roseburg that had been vacant for over forty years.
It's an ongoing project that I am no longer a part of but it's working.
Cheap housing and we put people to work.
Sometimes right off the street.

I have an incredible story to tell but just not sure where to start.
My Nephew was born with acute Cerebral Palsy.
We never thought he would live past six or eight years old.
He just turned twenty eight years old.
I am so proud.
1/?
Having a hard time typing. I'm in tears.
His name is Jesse.
He has never walked, sat up, fed himself or uttered a single word in his life.
Twenty eight years.
Sounds like a terrible way to live, I know.
Our family has had many discussions over the years.
2/?
This may take some time so bare with me.
Jesse was a happy boy. He knew no other life. That was his life and he was happy.
He had his moments of sadness, anger, rebellion, and sometimes just bitching and moaning but he enjoyed the life that was handed him.
3/?

Democrats will call me uneducated.
Okay.
I grew up in the cornfields, bean fields, and hay fields.
Not much money. Eight kids.
Grew our own vegetables. My Uncles raise cattle and hog.
Butchered hog and chickens every fall.
Beef went to the butcher.
But I'm uneducated.
1/?
We were not poor. We went on a vacation every year. Usually historic sites and museums.
National parks. Always educational.
Always a different state,... and of course all the states in between.
Each state was different and I loved it.
But I'm uneducated.
I did not do well in school.
Homework was not my thing.
Taking notes was not my thing but I listened and my SAT's were noticeable.
High school I had two weighted classes for three years.
Science and English.
No college.
Went directly into the trades.
But I'm uneducated.

My Father had knee surgery, again.
He is 87.
My family has a huge panic attack.
Talking about selling the house and moving to assisted living.
Back the shit up. Has any one asked Dad?
What the hell happened to a lift or a ramp?
So we had an emergency family meeting on Zoom.
Have you ever done this?
Zoom?
Very cool.
Five of my siblings plus Mom, six if you count my Brother Darryl who made a five second cameo but, I digress.
Mom started out the conversation with a simple statement. After an update on his condition of course.
Dad gets what Dad wants.
As long as he can get up and down those stairs, he will.
Pretty much put a kibosh on the cashing out of the house and the assisted living horseshit.

Was just reminiscing about an eight year old boy lost in the forest.
That boy must be eighteen or twenty years old now.
An eight year old boy comes to the edge of my camp and says, "Excuse me sir. I seem to be lost."
Dammit. I am cooking dinner.
I had a steak on an open fire.
Come on in boy have a seat and tell me where your parents are.
Couldn't name the place but could describe it.
I assured him I knew right where it was and was just about to put the finishing touches on my steak.
The lip quiver.
Then the tears.
Dammit!
I rolled the tater out of the coals and pulled my steak off the flame.
I just looked at the boy and ssid, come on.
He took my hand I took him up the trail to the viewpoint where he got lost.
His Uncle was there waiting for him.

I have followed politics all my life.
Got active in 1995.
Got frustrated and gave it all up.
I headed for the hills in 2000,
Oregon Cascade Mountains.
No phone.
No TV.
Minimal radio.
Five years I disconnected with society in general.
In 2005, I went home for my Parents 50th Wedding Anniversary.
My Family insisted that I get connected,
I have a huge Family.
2006 was my first time on the world wide web.
I was astonished at the wealth of knowledge.
And I was incredibly distraught with the state of our nation.
In 1997, I predicted this.
What we are seeing today.
