My American Friends, you are being told by many that they can fix your broken country (and rest assured, it is definitely quite broken) … And these same many are explaining to you just how they plan to do so (Hint: they don’t plan to do so at all — they just want you to think they do).

And yet because you have been conned for so long — conned into believing that the Republicans’ way is the safest; or conned into believing that the Democrats’ way is the most caring; or simply conned into believing that the members of either of these parties actually care about you, the citizens of the United States (when all 99% of them truly care about is their own prestige & their own power & their own wealth & their own job-longevity) — many of you are quite understandably starting to “check out”; starting to head for the nearest meadow, as it were, and take your own “dandelion break” from it all.

Well, my dear Friends, it is true that you have been conned in the past — conned by Reagan, and conned by Bush, and conned by Clinton, and then conned by Bush again. And yes, it is indeed true that you have been wickedly conned by Obama for these past six+ years as well … AND YET waking up to this abuse does NOT mean that it is time for you to “check out”. To the contrary, once you realize that you have been conned — and once you steadfastly refuse to be conned ever again, that is the time for you to get up from your dandelion break — That is the time for you to head back into your community and do what your past & current “leaders” should have done for you & yours long ago — That is when it is time for you to stop waiting for help to come from above, and to start becoming the change you & yours need to see instead.

Well, my Friends, the alarm clock of Truth has rung once again, and once again you have been awakened to a new day — a day of renewed clarity; a day of refreshed self-responsibility; the very first day of your now un-connable life.

And so I wonder … what will you do with it?
