Country Clubs.

       Just what is it that's going on in the world these days? In America, Paris and Brussels, and elsewhere people are intentionally killing children along with adults, they're called terrorists. Police are killing people who aren't armed, what's up? I just read that an Israeli soldier killed a wounded Palestinian and citizens are calling him a hero, what's up with these people?
       We've got a front runner in one party calling for punishment for women who get an abortion, then changing his mind, but the rest of his party aren't far from the same opinion. In Maricopa County, Arizona, they went from 200 polling places in 2010 to just 60 this year and the population is growing, what's up with that? People had to wait up to five hours to vote. Those folks are a bit perturbed to say the least.
       Our laws aren't keeping up with society's changing mores. We could do better, but then, we have a Congress. Of course we've always had a Congress, but the difference is that our current Congressional members apparently never learned how to govern. Either that or they intentionally decided not to govern, perhaps as an experiment. I wonder if they've decided to see how close to total chaos they can bring the country to, before they are run out of town on a rail after being tarred and feathered. 
       Our country was founded with the idea that every citizen had a vote as to who would be their leaders as opposed to the leaders choosing who would succeed them, sortta like kings do. And religion didn't enter into it. But now we've got wannabe kings deciding who to keep from voting and who not to. If things keep going this way, America will become an exclusive country club with membership by invitation only. I can foresee signs at every point of entry that read "YOU CAN WORK FOR US HERE, BUT YOU CAN'T VOTE HERE OR LIVE HERE"  At that point you and I probably won't be welcome.
