You can’t eat dollar bills

dollar-roll.jpgAmerica has been a beacon of hope for many people around the globe, and it should carry on as such. These days America seems to be turning in on itself, and not in a good way. On the streets i hear people talking politics to the point of argument. At work people either avoid political issues in order to avoid arguments or the just seem frustrated and disgruntled with the current political climate, and life in general. In this blog I shall present forth ideas on how we can create a better environment for all, including the disgruntled, frustrated, and those who simply chose to avoid politics as to not ruffle any feathers. I will cut through the misconceptions to find honest solutions which are beneficial to our beloved America and all her people, and even the world.

The fact that you physically can’t eat dollar bills, should be simple enough to understand on the surface, but this title has a much more profound beneath the surface meaning. America has forgotten its spirit of working togather as a country, of people building, creating, growing and all other sorts of production. We can’t all be farmers and construction workers, etc. but we can’t all be dependent on a system which manipulates every aspect to generate revenue for itself. If we do rely on the printed money we disassociate ourselves from the basic human need to contribute and feel a sense of worth. If we just depend on money for all our needs we may find ourselves in situations which we may not particularly enjoy yet have to perform just to acquire money. The fact that you need dollar bills to get the basic necessities is concerning. This allows for manipulation of all aspects of peoples lives. We as a people of the country of The United States Of America need to work with one another, not fight with one another. We must grow food, even in small spaces, plant potatoes, tomatoes, get your hands dirty, feel a sense of pride. We must also stop looking at cities as some great cultural heaven, though there are benefits of cities, there are just as many if not more negatives. Cities leave us valunerable.

America has to work together as a country. Racism is a self destructive game which in the long run makes our entire country vulnerable. Racist are to busy oppressing their own country men. This in the long run defeats the country, consider it as scoring a goal on your own team, pain beyond expression. I call out to all Americans to produce things, grow food, build homes. I know the America I grew up loving can do this. If not the other options are more government control, more crowded cities dependent of paper money, more manipulation. Please America, be strong, don’t be afraid to get dirty, and have pride in the country. Now i am off to plant some seeds, of love and community.
