Angst and Prayer

Why people want to give the government more power in the USA when it already has trouble handling what it has irks me and puts me closer to God through prayer. Our school systems are far below many countries, http://www.alec.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Report_Card_on_American_Education&Template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&ContentID=5824 , the government has huge deficits and lots of scandals, they misuse our money http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer , the government subsidized bus systems don't have safety restraints but we the people get ticketed if we do not wear them. In fact children six and under wear no safety belts on a bus- they are not provided; the children ride for free! It gives credibility to people who say our nation is fighting a culture of death. Abortion is allowed and paid for by the government sometimes; the President to be supports that.
I know there are things to be happy regarding like God and people who follow Him and do good and good funny jokes and things like that. I will not let the bad stuff get me bummed in Jesus' name. Life is too short. But, I will say, this country needs help and my prayers continue and I do not want more government power- any government power to be abused! I hope and pray we the people, the churches and non-profits get it in gear and start making this world a better place. I'm talking to myself as well.

A Double Standard

It is so sad that on a public bus there are no means to ensure a toddler has a safe strapped in seat; yet in a car, which in most cases does not get government subsidies, people get ticketed not only if a child is not wearing their seat belt but also if they are not in a car seat.
