Losing our ambition, freedom, youth & country

Alred C. Frett

Turning Bad Conclusions into Good Solutions:

We are in the last days of the 1st Month in a New Year, and those who survived the past year may give thanks and praise to their leaders and Gods of mercy, while those who did not, may have a totally different opinion... It may be nice to be optimistic, but we live in a real World, and we should reason according to the evidence... Our failure to make it what it could be, means that others will make it what it shouldn’t be.

Do you truly believe that politicians really care?

Alred C. Frett

We’ll see that we cannot change the Past:

If the World was coming to an end, this could be the chosen Place and Time, for our Prophets amuse us, our Weathermen confuse us, our Winters look more like Summers, our Hurricanes are beginning where they usually end, and the Days are hotter than Hell while some Hearts may be Colder than Ice... Wars and Rumours of Wars are everywhere, with Jews fighting Muslims, and Christians fighting non-Christians.

When corruption breeds corruption

Alred C. Frett

A Mountain is not a Haystack:

Some think that it’s foolish to stand up against Injustice when this could be their Bread and Butter on the road to Riches... Fact is, when we only think of ourselves, we become the Problem rather than the Solution... I learnt a long time ago, that keeping your Eyes closed to Reality is like the Blind following the Blind... This happens whenever we are wide awake but fast asleep, and Dreams become Nightmares.

Borrowed coat strings don’t last long

Alred C. Frett

Minimum Wage or Maximum Rip-off:

Some say Good things never seem to last, and some say, the good Lord giveth and the Good Lord taketh away... I do not have all the answers but I may have a few, and just as Day follows Night, Night follows Day, and, not all Days are bright, and not all Nights are dark... However, even with all the differences between our Ambition and Ability, the God of Nature and Laws of Balance still brings equality for one and all.

And then we blinked & all was lost

Alred C. Frett

It’s not Magic – It’s Basic:

We label ourselves the Information Generation, but the only things we were born knowing is how to eat and poop… All our knowledge was picked up from others, so if they are wrong then we are also wrong… Nonetheless, even as we follow their hand-me-down teaching, we still think we know more than they do, so we call ourselves special, and regard others, as fools and infidels, when we may really be the idiots.

Losing a country & turning bread into stone

Alred C. Frett

The Promises & Projections of Politics:

Thanks for your comments about the Broadcasts and Articles... It is good to know that you read and listen, even if you disagree... The subjects are always open for debate, and it’s always good to spread the Word and hear the opinions of others... For Centuries, those in Power replaced Truth with Lies and we suffered for it... Perhaps Today will be a brand-new beginning, and a time to finally release our Chains.
