Living
in the bubble….
I was
thinking the other day, as I watch the news…. With the hurricanes, the
shootings… in so many states… and now the fires in Ca. during the late fall….
I feel like
I live in a bubble…. A bubble that I am comfortable with… so much so, I don’t
care to travel anymore…
Here in our
state, especially up here in the panhandle area, we don’t have that.. the
nearest and even theirs is low is Spokane Spokane
To say we
were shocked is an understatement. Part
of us wanted to ask.. why did you come to our town to kill him, after all you
got the taxi in Spokane
We don’t
have the hate protest here.. or people who block the roads.. if they do protest,
like right to life type, and etc.. they are respectful, and line the street or
walk across our bridge with signs.. that is about it.
We complain
a lot about our government as we bleed red with Republicans here, yet there are
a lot of us Independent votes here.. But
nothing like what the nation is going thru right now.. Maybe because we have a
say in what is done in our state… if we can get enough signatures we can change
things and have it put to vote for ALL of the citizens to decide.. where as
nationally we know we have no control. Even sending our senators and
representatives to DC doesn’t do much for us… and our guys are voted down
anyway. Unless the congress is Republican
run.
So I love our bubble. And hope we continue to keep it. We do have
some Redoubt party people who have showed up in our state, but so far they are
very inconspicuous/subtle
so far.. but are inching into our politics… they are stronger than the tea
party which we have had quite a bit of them over the years…
Yes, I want
to keep my bubble.. we are still like it was when we were younger.. our word
means something.. Business still care about their customers… and etc.. I just hope I don’t live to see what is going
to happen once it burst.. and really fear for my great grandchildren.. who also
live in a bubble where they are..
