It's Later than You Think.

By Jerry Nash

How do we make sense of politics today? Why there is so much contrast between what we feel verses what we know? Do we understand our basic need to be governed and what that should look like? Who dictates the cause and do we judge the effect?

A single man cannot rule with justice, as his whims are played out with impunity.  History has beckoned Kings to rule, but the shoes filled were found wanting.  So we gathered on a new shore and formed what we hoped would bring justice to common man.  Was it possible there was a place in the world where men could govern themselves?

We cannot look to the future without contemplating the past.  Where we go from here is commissioned by our understanding of human nature.  Where did the good things in life come from?  How did we arrive at the place we are standing today? Have our tolerant passions really given us a utopian plateau of living?  Everyone’s afraid to say it in these times we live, but is it possible that right and wrong exists?  If so, can we name evils exposed in historical reference and hold high the good that man has exalted?

I fear that the man that rules and those that has his ear are not good men.  They came from ideals born of passion and not sound judgment. They crawled out from obscure dark places while men squabbled and did not notice. They have taken their place to rule man and we will have nowhere to go, but follow. When evil rules the land, there is no longer tolerance for discussion.

We have choices to make in the coming days.  We are on the brink of destruction, if not despair. Are we able to adhere to our convictions or are we culpable in having none. Stand up and vote your conscience oh brave men of consequence, or seek the comfort of your desires and flame out with no more recourse.

It’s later than you think.
