You do not have to be a genius to spread the word!

I am 66 years old, high school graduate, entrepreneur, less than one year of college, Real Estate education, one time avid reader of historical novels, ie., War and Remembrance, Exodus, Michener books, Sho Gun and many many more. I was raised in extremely abusive circumstances in roach infested shacks. I was the first in my family to graduate from High School.
The reason I mention all of the above; ANYONE can write a blog! The reason I blog and twitter is to hopefully inform those that have never cared about the life outside of their little world.
The youth of today were raised in such an easy life and do not seem to care about what goes on outside of their circle of comfort. Since they are so electronically engaged, maybe I can wake up awareness in them that they must get involved if they are to continue in a free society in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
Not only are the youth not interested in world events but I have attempted getting my peers interested in the politics of today and typically they are not interested! They are too busy "cruising", living in Sun City enjoying "the good life", golfing and in general, just enjoying the fruits of their labor with no concern about the up and coming generation. The typical comment I hear about their children and grandchildren is that "whatever makes them happy" is ok by me. After all, "who am I to judge?"
It is not “judgmental” to want to pass on your values to your future generations; it is wise to do so!
Well, I have wandered afar from my original thought as to why I was writing this particular blog.
Original thought is not terribly important in enticing your friends and family on face book to follow your blogs. Whatever it takes to wake them up to the events that will directly have impact their way of life is relevant. I am not the “master” of original thought, I am limited in my education; therefore, I plagiarize interesting points of view and paste them into my blogs!
You can do the same, just investigate further than the headlines associated with mass media, (newspapers and CNN) and copy/paste into Face Book so that others can see what is happening to our way of life!
Get a little daring and allow yourself to be open to ridicule by developing principles that you wish to live by! Share those principles with your circle of influence.
Well, that is all for now, I vented, I guess.
