MORE Hero’s of 9/11
Nobody Flashes
“The hero obeys his own law.”
-Henry David Thoreau
You know, I’ve never seen this on any 9/11 special since 9/11 happened.
But, I’m glad I got to see it now. It’s got a big surprise at the end.
Take a few minutes and…be humbled, by the goodness of men.

Crack-Giving Addiction: Confession
Nobody Knows

I think I understand it now: the liberals bleeding hearts “we must take care of everyone, they can’t take care of themselves” attitude. I understand why they want to extend free welfare, free food, free housing, free education, free computers, free cable…and on and on. It’s not just for control, or votes, (although that’s a BIG part of it with politicians) or because they want to appear noble to the human race, there really is a human side to it.

And it took bird seed to bring me to the realization of just HOW and WHY liberals think this way.
***
Bird seed. I’ve been living with bird seed for over 30 years now. What started out as a simple hanging basket became two hanging baskets, then a great big birdhouse filled up with 5 pounds of birdseed daily. I would sit at my back kitchen window and enjoy the hundreds of little chickadees, robins, crows, and pigeons, and the funny squirrels.

Nobody loves watching them all gather to eat in happy chirps more than me.

Every year, I would celebrate my little Cardinal couple having babies, and THEIR babies have babies, knowing that my little wonders would never have to worry about food or water even in the coldest of winters made me feel very happy. If I could not control my life and the world around me, at least I could do something good. Feed the birds, the squirrels, and the raccoons.

Who doesn’t love baby raccoons? It wasn’t only the enjoyment of watching nature, it was the feeling I got for…sort of doing my part. I know— I’m not the only one doing this. Lots of folks feed birds, raccoons– even deer for their own feeling of enjoyment. But this week, I am in shock. Not only shock, but embarrassment. Embarrassed at how stupid I have been.

You see, when you feed birds, they drop the shells on the ground. Don’t listen to the man selling bird seed to you, your grass will die, while he is on vacation in Hawaii. I would buy 40 pounds of sunflowers seeds a week, and the guy would always say” “This will HELP your grass!” You might as well spray it with bleach.

And the seeds bring mice, then rats. And rats have litters of 19, and the realization that feeding the birds has a high price: you will also feed the rats, and rats can bring disease.

So, I have to stop. After 30 years it’s time, and not a moment too soon either. At these times of higher gas, food, electric, etc, prices, every single worthless American dollar counts. For every future dollars I could spend on feeding birds,— that might be one more meal that I would miss when I’m 75.

But, I never thought I’d feel so bad about stopping. What would my poor babies do without me? Just today, I looked at my window, and saw my Cardinal running all over the ground, as if he was in a panic. The squirrel he shares his evening meal with: right beside him. The same squirrel who came up to my back door window and looked at me for the first time, in anger, with a “HEY…where’s my FOOD!” look.

Like I said– stupid. I was stupid to get all these birds hooked on free meals. Now, I will have to watch them struggle, and go back to depending on whatever DNA God gave them to tell them to eat.

If they could go on strike, I’m sure they would. I’d see them carrying little union birdie signs saying, “How do you expect us to feed our children?” AND; TAX the rich lady in the house, SELL the house and give us our food!”

And that’s what happens: All the movie stars, the CEO moguls, the liberals, —cannot stand any suffering of any kind. They want to redistribute the wealth to those poor little babies in Africa, the illegal’s from Mexico’s–WHOMEVER– because you see…it makes them FEEL good about themselves.

Giving is a very important human emotion: no doubt it triggers TONS of serotonin, and you can get addicted to that “giving” crack. The biggest problem with the Michael Moore’s’, Obama’s, Oprah’s, and all the other bleeding hearts…is that, they are the ones hurting the world the most, and don’t even realized it, because, they want to feel GOOD about themselves. In the meantime, they are crack giving addicts. Obama feels good when he can take it from the rich, and spread it around. After all, he remembers how good he felt on Cocaine. Even if he is not still on Cocaine, (which is dubious) his addicting synapses in his brain didn’t go away.

After all the billions that have been given to all the nations in the world, tell me: Is Africa better off? How about Haiti? Mother nature meant for us all to take care of ourselves. Man is just as much part of mother nature as the little birds in the air.

Welfare is like crack cocaine. And here’s what happens when you give too much of it: the political rats come in. They use the “liberals” who just need their giving “fix” to grab money from the other birds who are doing fine taking care of themselves…to give to those others that have been addicted for so long.
***
It’s a no/win, no/win disaster.
***
When you have nothing but a heavy welfare state: You get rats giving you diseases like Obamacare.
***
It’s not good for birds, and it’s not good for humans. A few hundred humans cannot take care of the masses of the world, but they want their “fix.” The most humane thing for any man or woman to do, is to let other humans take care of themselves. Help out when necessary, but always aim to let mother nature take its natural course.

We need less of it, not more.

As for me…I’m still in withdrawal. It’s a painful lesson…I can’t wait for the day when I look out my back window and see my fine Cardinal friend still around. It’s time I started getting back to “Mother Nature” and let my grass grow back…who knows what lies beneath those crack- giving addicting weeds in my mind?
