Journal Entry 370

9/11/2021

Twenty years ago, this nation was attacked and I’m ashamed to say, that she has never quite recovered from it.  Yes, we have had one or two good presidents since then (I’m not talking about Obama or Biden). But still, this country is struggling and I wonder when there will ever come a day when it will get back on its feet and support the values it claims to believe in.  I hope so. I pray so…. And yet I fear that it may already be to late.

This, this is how I feel. I knew that when this shot came out, that it would only be a matter of time before it would start becoming mandatory. It breaks my heart to be right. It breaks my heart when I watch the government that I despise, but must deal with- hurt the country and the people of the country that I love.

I have always held the belief that the individual has the right to be who they want to be. To make their own decisions. Yes, this does include women’s rights over their own bodies. Do I believe that abortion is murder? Yes, I do. But that is my belief. I have no right to tell someone else how to believe or how to live their life.

But this government it seems has no such respect and I’m fearful of what is going to be coming next. No, I don’t know what it is…but this country is stuck in a downward spiral and I believe that it is going to only get worse from here.

Sincerely,

Richard Polk
