Chads thoughts

There are times when I have to show how detailed I can get as my mother's Caregiver. The first case in point is the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) when it comes to reapplying for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or what is known by most people as Food Stamps. When it comes to OKDHS, I would have to fight with them when it comes to Income. That would be me having to tell OKDHS that if I didn't give them a copy of invoices for a particular month, then I did not get any work for that month. Then, when it came to the Wetumka Housing Authority telling me that my services were no longer required, it became more of a fight with OKDHS when it came to income. This time, however, I decided to send the OKDHS reports from the budget software I use called Firefly III. Unsurprisingly, they called the house, but instead of having to fight with them about Income, I had to explain all of the Income sources. It even shocked me that they would compliment how organized all the data was. They still didn't completely look at all the data like normal, but the fact they actually looked at it at all was, again, shocking. Hell, my mother even wondered if our SNAP Cards still worked only because the OKDHS asked about it when she was on the phone with us. So she asked me to call the number on the back of the SNAP Card, and that's when I found out that not only were they still working, but we had $7 of Food Stamps in our SNAP Account. It also stated that there is a pending amount of $160 for this month. We were getting $119, so that means we gained $41 just from giving them all the information and letting them sort it out.

The second case in point is me pointing out all we did to get ready to deal with this Bed Bug Problem My mother and I are facing right now. Then have it change on us on what to do. Then, lastly, I was told that my mother and I did nothing or, better yet, made it harder than it needed to be. On top of that, be told that C & C Pest Control (the exterminators the Wetumka Housing Authority uses) was the one that bagged all the clothing in the Living Room. The problem with that is not all the bags have clothing in them. There are at least two bags that have various items in them. That's not including all the bags that are not black trash bags or even any of the boxes that are in the Living Room. Oh, and let's not forget all the black trash bags, pillows, an ottoman, or the throw rug that happens to be on the Back Porch that my mother and I are waiting for the Wetumka Housing Authority to pick up. I have decided to just start slowly putting one or two bags from the Back Porch and put them in our small trash dumpster. As for the ottoman, or the throw rug, well, put the throw rug in our trash dumpster and the ottoman to the curb, as that is all my mother and I can do with them. Neither of them will most likely be taken by the people running the trash truck, but maybe that would make the Wetumka Housing Authority understand that my mother and I needed more help than the Wetumka Housing Authority was truly willing to give. Either way, the damage is done, and this shows people like me that Housing Authorities and HUD can never be trusted to work for the people they are serving. I wonder what they would do with a $1004 invoice being sent to them to address all of these problems they caused. Only time will tell, I guess.

You know there are times when I really have to wonder if people are out to get my mother and me out of this unit. Again, I say unit and not home because the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) calls all the homes in a public housing authority units. HUD fails to understand that they kinda make them feel like armed forces barracks, at least to me they do. To others, it might feel more like a prison cell. Either way, the feeling is not good, more so if you know what it's like being in either. What I mean is that the tenants are required to follow HUD rules and regulations even though HUD claims they have no power over the public housing authorities and how they are ran. What contradicts that is when HUD seems to have no problem shutting down a public housing authority for health and safety reasons. Maybe HUD needs to reevaluate how they work for the people since they seem to only work for themselves and not for the people or, in this case, the Tenants.

Now, let's move on to the exterminators and what's currently happening. My mother and I were told today that we failed to prepare for the exterminators to deal with the current Bed Bug Problem. There is a problem with that, though, which is when this all started we were told that “Everything had to go”. That turned into “Just put Clothing in Black trash bags and get rid of the beds”. That, however, brought another problem, which was that we could not just “get rid of the beds,” as they put it, due to not having the money to replace them or, at the very least, replace my mother's bed. That then turned into “Don't worry about the beds. We will just treat them all”. So, my mother and I started burning through the $34 we had by spending $20 at the local laundromat that had just opened. Now, did that get all the Clothing? Well, no, but it did at least about 4 to 6 trash bags if I remember right.

Does this mean my mother and I are done with washing Clothing? Well, no, not by a long shot. In fact, with the rest of the money, we had to buy food and some isopropyl alcohol as we are barely making it and were told to buy isopropyl alcohol to help deal with the Current Bed Bug Problem. However, we were told today that we did not follow anything the exterminators told us. That makes me question the motives of the exterminator's actions. To run to the Housing Authority Executive Director to tell him one thing while telling us something entirely different. Hell, when the exterminators showed up, they didn't even tell us anything was wrong. They just started taking the bedding off Mother's bed, which is something we were not told to do; otherwise, it would have been done before they showed up. They then started vacuuming the walls and beds. Before vacuuming the beds, they stood them up on their sides.

After that, they started to try to use some sort of machine that was to treat the beds, or at least that's what they told my mother and me that it was for. The machine kept tripping a breaker, so they could not keep it going. Now, during all of this, the maintenance man from the Housing Authority kept ducking in and out instead of staying with the exterminators, which is required per policy, or at least it was when I was working for the Housing Authority. We were told by the exterminators that my mother and I had to leave because they were about to spray for Bed Bugs and that we had to stay away until 7:30 that night. Now, they did tell my mother and me before they started anything that when we came back, if the beds were wet, we were to wash our hands in cold water so the pores in our hands would stay closed and that we were to stay off the beds until they dry. They also told us that if we came home and the beds were dry, we should wash our hands in cold water so the pores in our hands would stay closed, and the beds were okay to be sat on.

As it stands now, we are being told that we might be charged a $200 prep work fee for not following supposedly clear instructions despite doing what we were told by the exterminators themself. Even the administrative assistant is questioning the motives of the exterminator's actions. You may be asking yourself, “Why?” Well, the administrative assistant relayed the same information from the exterminators. In fact, both my mother and the administrative assistant confirmed today that they had gotten the same information from the exterminators. Something else we were not told was to have all the trash bags of Clothing we could not wash yet had to be out of the unit, which would cause another problem if true since we don't have anywhere to store stuff until we have more money. So, as you can see, we are being told one thing, and the Executive Director of the Housing Authority is being told something entirely different, and it's these inconsistencies that are causing health and safety risks that HUD just wants to pass onto the Public Housing Authority. I guess in the end, the Tenants are truly just a meal ticket until the Public Housing Authorities and HUD don't want to deal with them anymore.

You know there are times when I question people. Case in point the exterminator once told my mother that the reason mice and ants would come into her room was due to all the bottles of 7 Up she had there. I find that rather questionable since they were coming and going well before my mother put her bottles of 7 Up in her room. Another and more current Case in point is my mother was told that she needed to remove all the clothes from under her bed to deal with the current bed bug problem we have. I find that rather questionable since my mother has no clothes under her bed. Now my mother has some trash under her bed that needs to be dealt with though. Now the exterminators are nice ladies for the most part but some of the stuff they tell my mother as you can see is questionable. It's like they are going by an old textbook on how bugs and mice work without considering things might have changed since then.

It is even more off-putting that my mother and I have to piece together what we need to do to deal with these bed bugs from the housing authority. One would think that exterminators would give more detailed info on how to deal with things like bed bugs with something other than “Everything has to go”. The problem with that is we don't have the money to just throw everything away. After all beds, meds, and at least one change of clothes cost more than the $37 we have in the bank. I guess that's why it's so easy for people to tell others to just get rid of what they have since they don't see what others are going through on any level. I guess this is just another “it is what it is” kind of thing along with the “everyone needs to make that money” that follows.

Well, today is inspection day. Actually, it's inspection day for the next two days. What my mother and I were told yesterday was we have Bed Bugs. Now we have almost to do what is called a “make ready” because of that. For those that don't know what a “make ready” is it's the means of getting a unit ready for someone to move in. Yes, you read that right the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) calls the duplexes, triplexes, and stand-alone homes “units” and not homes. That means to HUD the tenants are not tenants. To HUD tenants are inmates or military personnel. That also means to HUD Public Housing Authorities are prisons or military bases.

You may be asking why I personally feel this way. It's a fair question to ask. Let's go with the fact I'm living in the same unit for going on 17 years now. Let's also go with the fact that after 4 of those years, we would get told we have failed the HUD inspection. Now mind you we would get told this years after the inspection has happened and it would always be stated as “general housekeeping” and nothing more. This has been ongoing since then and no matter what we do it's never been enough for HUD. It has gotten to the point that I started to threaten to do a “make ready” to the housing authority I live at along with apologizing to HUD for not meeting their standards of a clean prison cell or barracks in my own little way.

What makes things even worse is the questionable neighbors that we keep getting paired with in the connecting unit. They either bring in some problem or happen to be the problem on some level most of the time. Case in point we had one neighbor that thought they owned the housing authority. Another case in point is the current neighbor for a while had a questionable boyfriend come around banging doors in and causing all sorts of stress for both units. So as you can see living in HUD subsidized housing is not for the faint of heart. It's also not all that safe either. One has to be willing to deal with all sorts of shit and that includes HUD constantly going back and forth between standards. That's not even including the constant threat of eviction in one form or another being pushed by again HUD's constant going back and forth between standards by HUD.

I can only wonder if HUD even wants to understand this is what they are doing to the tenants. I can't be the only person in HUD-subsidized housing going through these kinds of problems when it comes to HUD. I'm most likely the only person willing to bring it up though. After all, not everyone is willing to bring up such problems to HUD due to various reasons. That includes not wanting to be homeless on some level which in itself is another problem that HUD fails to understand. That being said it is what it is and all some of us tenants can do is make do with what we have until we can get into a safer and somewhat less stressful environment that doesn't involve HUD in some way.

Well, tonight, I found out that I'm now single. I found out about it through a Facebook post. However, I, in a way, understand why. All she saw was us arguing most of the time. She never saw how upset it made me when we did argue, how upset it made me she was in a nursing home, or the ideas of what I had planned for us. Ultimately, all I can do is hope at the very least we can still be friends.

I'm not even disappointed with her ending it. I'm disappointed in myself though. I wondered every day how I could get out of this hole of being poor. Funny enough I found a way but it was not soon enough. It will still take time but if all works out I will at least be able to pay some of my bills without any problems. I even wondered what would it be like to own a home and maybe have a or two calling me father and her mother. Maybe we could get back together when the time is right.

Well, it is what it is and life goes on at least what I keep getting told. While I don't have any kids of my own I can still try to help raise both of my little brothers when I'm around them. After all, I'm the old man now.

Now that the elections are mostly over, I might be able to get some answers to the questions I have been trying to ask.

They are as follows:

Primary questions (asked May 13, 2024, 6:10 PM)

1. Why are you willing to make those who might have problems getting a star or choose not to get a star on their driver's license a United States immigrant?
2. Why are you willing to abandon the people of the United States in one form or another over a star?

Questions of opportunity (asked May 26, 2024, 7:49 PM)

1. You formed The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on November 19, 2001, which is 69 days from when September 11th happened. Why did it take 69 days to form such an agency?
2. Why did you wait until September 11th to happen before wanting to demand federal ID by the means of requiring a star on them?
3. Did you forget about what happened on April 19, 1995?
4. Did you forget what happened on November 7, 1983?
5. Why not just take over the Department of Motor Vehicles and make it a federal agency due to your demands for a federal ID for all?

Now I did get a couple of responses but most were questionable. There was one response from a woman who called me from Lankford's office wanting to the questions I had for him. This showed me that she did not even bother reading any of the Emails I sent to his office at all. She also seemed to be hopped up on espresso to the point of going at least 20 miles an hour. I had another woman who called me from Lankford's office asking what kind of questions I had relating to an immigration bill. As you can see from the questions above there is no mention of a bill in any of them. However, I do mention the United States Constitution and ask why they violate it. I even had a woman who called from someone's office about the senator she is an aide to stating the senator will vote how he/she pleases.

As you can see I have not got any answers relating to the questions.

So I made the following guesses (Jun 18, 2024, 5:00 PM):

Let's start with the primary questions and work our way down.

1. You are showing me and others that you care more about the illegal immigrants coming in than the people of the United States and the people of the State of Oklahoma.
2. You do this so you can stay in power like President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is trying to do in one form or another.
3. You see that it is cheaper to help illegal immigrants than it is to help the people of the United States and the people of the State of Oklahoma.

Now let's to the secondary questions.

1. You see the U.S. Constitution as part of the problem and see no reason to follow it in any meaningful way.
2. You also don't see it as a violation of your oath of office.

Now lastly questions of opportunity

1. You clearly don't want the people of the United States and the people of the State of Oklahoma to know why you were so quick at getting the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) together.
2. You clearly forgot that before September 11th IDs were not a requirement to get on a plane. The only things that were required to get on a plane before September 11th were a name and a boarding pass.
3. You clearly want to act like the events that happened at federal buildings before September 11th were minor compared to what happened on September 11th.
4. You clearly don't want the job of running another state agency as a federal agency even though you are making them do federal IDs.

Now as you can see these were made on June 18, 2024, at 5:00 PM. That means that the question relating to Master Biden is no longer valid but what I have read and seen still brings up a point. At this point Contacting your Senator or Representative does not do the job anymore. It seems the only real way to get anything done is to be a rich or famous person who has a team of people who know their way around the law. It should not be this way but that is what it comes down to. That even includes small towns on some level. Now I wonder what would happen if say the Trucker stopped making deliveries and all Computers stopped networking. I wonder if that would be a better way to get things done on some level.

Now with that being said if any Oklahoma senators, representatives, or the president or president-elect want to answer my questions you can Email me and [email protected]. Don't worry I won't ghost you like you did me on some level. One more question why is The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) a U.S. government agency under the Department of Homeland Security responsible for protecting the nation's transportation systems guarding federal buildings? Anyway don't have too much fun or at least try not to.

Well, I finally have some time to do some writing. Today I thought I would tell you about the Oklahoma City State Fair. At least The way I saw it this year anyway. Let's first go over what was stated by News 9 about the changes that were made. They stated that there were to be more security be it Oklahoma City or Park security. They then go into how everything will be searched. Lastly, they stated that Weapons and Electronics would not be permitted in the Oklahoma City State Fair. Oh, I almost forgot that they stated anyone under 25 would have to leave after 5:00 PM.

Now let's go into what really happened at the Oklahoma City State Fair. Well for one that didn't do and searching through anything. All they did was ask my mother to open her purse and for me to empty my pockets. When it came to more security by the means of more police and added security towers that didn't happen either. Mind you they never had any security towers and to only see one when they said they would be throughout the Fair is questionable. Hell, I didn't see any more security than last year because if there was then they would have catch people parking where there were no parking spots just outside of the park. Some people were clearly under 25 and not being told to leave. It's enough to make one wonder what is going on. Then I had to keep reminding myself that I Emailed the Oklahoma City State Fair about the changes and how they are rather questionable.

The sad part is I remember what the Oklahoma City State Fair used to be like before it changed. I remember that it used to be at least three times bigger. I remember it used to take two to three days to go through all the building which is what my mother would always want to do. I remember that once I got my A&W Root Beer and Corn Dog I didn't need to go back until next year. All of that made it worth the time and money to go to the Oklahoma City State Fair. Right now however it's not worth going even if they manage to bring back most of the magic. Only time will tell how long the Oklahoma City State Fair will keep going before it dies.

You know the last couple of weeks were interesting. First, we had to leave our unit to allow the breaker box to be changed out. Then, we came home to a mess with two holes in my mother's bedroom wall and a miter saw in the bathroom. That does not include the hole that was placed in the ceiling so the electrician could go into the attic while patched still allowed me to put my fingers into cracks of the patch. All of that however was nothing compared to me trying my best at taking care of both little brothers. I call them mini-me and mini mini-me.

One would ask “What do you mean by that”. Now that's a good question. You see I didn't know the first thing about taking care of kids. One of my little brothers is 7 years, 10 months old so he was a little easier to handle to a point. All I had to do was try to make deals with him like “You can play on your phone before school if you eat this honey bun first”. Hell, it was even the first time I made sure my little brother had taken his meds. It was even the first time I dropped off anyone at school let alone my little brother. I thought it was cool that he even turned around long enough to wave bye as he was going in.

Now when I went back to my brother's and other mother's place I woke up my other little brother. Well not really but I would like to think I did though. I changed his diaper and fed him a honey bun. Now a couple of months beforehand, I didn't know how to change a baby's diaper or even know how they sleep. So I watched YouTube videos relating to those subjects and whatever else I may need to know about babies. I don't know how good of a job I did since I was scared that I would hurt him in some way.

With that being said I also asked a couple of questions relating to my sister (Well half-sister but you should know what mean) to find out what went wrong. It turns out that she might have been scared off due to my other mother's sister being a fucking ass. The sad part is the last time I saw her she was in a blue dress with white trim, black shoes, and pigtails. The last place I remember seeing her was in some room in a court building. I still remember the growth she had on her lip. It was some time before my mother found her on Facebook. It looked like she was happy so I left it at that. I got a friend request from her but at the time her name didn't look familiar so I deleted it. I have been regretting that decision ever since. Sadly it is what it is and all I can do is hope that's shes happy.

Well besides having a sister who wants nothing to do with me or the rest of the family for that matter I say it was a good couple of days or weeks depending on how one wants to look at it. I cooked food. I changed diapers. I got my little brother to school. I even did my best to get my little brother to understand that just because his little brother was getting a lot of attention doesn't mean he is loved less. I can only guess if he understands what I was trying to tell him.

If you are like me then you have always been told to call/write/talk to your representative be it at the local, state, or federal level. So if you're like me and see something questionable that involves questionable actions at the local, state, or federal level you start to ask questions at that level. When it comes to any kind of communication where I want either a paper trail or a digital trail I prefer Email. To be more specific I prefer Direct Email but in this day in age, you have to hunt and find Direct Email Addresses. That goes twice over when it's a politician who does not what to deal with the people he/she is representing on any level.

Now you may be asking yourself “That's nice and all but where are you going with this”.

Well how about I tell you the questions I first asked James Paul Lankford and Markwayne Mullin both being my so-called representatives in Oklahoma the following questions: (May 13, 2024, 6:10 PM)

1. Why are you willing to make those who might have problems with getting a star or choose not to get a star on their driver's license a United States immigrant?
2. Why are you willing to abandon the people of the United States in one form or another over a star?
3. Why are you so willing to help illegal immigrants over the people of the United States?

Now mind you by looking at these questions and wonder how are they not specific.

I waited until May 26, 2024, 7:49 PM when I added and asked the following questions:

1. Article I Section 8 Clause 1 states “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;” (From https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/section-8/). Why are you in violation of such a Clause?
2. Article I Section 8 Clause 5 states “To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;” Why are you in violation of such a Clause?
3. Article I Section 8 Clause 12 states “To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;” Why are you in violation of such a Clause?
4. Article I Section 8 Clause 15 states “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;” Why are you in violation of such a Clause?

6. Tenth Amendment states “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” (From https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-10/) Why are you in violation of such an Amendment?
7. Article I Section 10 Clause 3 states “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.” (from https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-1/section-10/) Why are you in violation of such a Clause?
8. Article IV Section 4 states “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.” (from https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-4/) Why are you in violation of such an Article?

along with the following questions.

1. You formed The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on November 19, 2001, which is 69 days from when September 11th happened. Why did it take 69 days to form such an agency?
2. Why did you wait until September 11th to happen before wanting to demand
3. federal ID by the means of requiring a star on them?
4. Did you forget about what happened on April 19, 1995?
5. Did you forget what happened on November 7, 1983?
6. Why not just take over the Department of Motor Vehicles and make it a federal agency due to your demands for a federal ID for all?

Again you have to look at these questions and wonder how are they not specific.

Well after not getting the questions answered I sent the following Email:

questions of opportunity (May 26, 2024, 7:49 PM)

1. You formed The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on November 19, 2001, which is 69 days from when September 11th happened. Why did it take 69 days to form such an agency?
2. Why did you wait until September 11th to happen before wanting to demand federal ID by the means of requiring a star on them?
3. Did you forget about what happened on April 19, 1995?
4. Did you forget what happened on November 7, 1983?
5. Why not just take over the Department of Motor Vehicles and make it a federal agency due to your demands for a federal ID for all?

I still have not got them answered on the federal level. On the state level, I'm told they don't understand why they are not being answered. So how about I make some guesses?

Let's start with the primary questions and work our way down.

1. You are showing me and others that you care more about the illegal immigrants coming in than the people of the United States and the people of the State of Oklahoma.
2. You do this so you can stay in power like President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is trying to do in one form or another.
3. You see that it is cheaper to help illegal immigrants than it is to help the people of the United States and the people of the State of Oklahoma.

Now let's to the secondary questions.

1. You see the U.S. Constitution as part of the problem and see no reason to follow it in any meaningful way.
2. You also don't see it as a violation of your oath of office.

Now lastly questions of opportunity

1. You clearly don't want the people of the United States and the people of the State of Oklahoma to know why you were so quick at getting the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) together.
2. You clearly forgot that before September 11th IDs were not a requirement to get on a plane. The only things that were required to get on a plane before September 11th was a name and a boarding pass.
3. You clearly want to act like the events that happened at federal buildings before September 11th were minor compared to what happened on September 11th.
4. You clearly don't want the job of running another state agency as a federal agency even though you are making them do federal IDs.

Now mind you as I said these are just my guesses and nothing more. After all, since I don't have a star on my driver's license I can't have a one-on-one with you. Even if I did have a star on my driver's license I still could not have a one-on-one with you due to my Caregiver Duties to my mother. With that being said that means you effectively made me and people like me a United States immigrant. I hope you are proud of yourself for that as that makes me not want to vote for you but then again independents can't really vote or take office in Oklahoma in one form or another. Maybe you should look into addressing that somehow.

So one last question if an independent voter like myself were allowed to vote for anyone regardless of party affiliation how would you help that voter if he/she asked for help from you? That question goes to both the State and the Federal level.

Thank you and have a lovely day

Now you may be wondering why I included the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). That's a good question to ask and the answer is easy it's a federal agency that funds Public Housing Authorities. That means that one day they might not let Public Housing Authorities house anyone who doesn't have a star on their driver's license or any ID for that matter. In the end, the federal level of government will find a way to get rid of the people it doesn't want and do it in a way that makes people not question them. When that happens it will be too late to fix any kind of problem be it natural or artificial.

Now let's get back to the Email above. I sent it Jun 18, 2024, 5:00 PM and didn't expect to hear anything back due to a lack of an answer from the other Emails before. To my amazement, I got a call from James Paul Lankford's office Jun 21, 2024, 3:41 PM. Now this is when I figured out that didn't read my Email through. For one they call my Cell number and not my Google Voice number in my Email Signature. Next, the woman on the other end of the phone wanted to know what specific questions I had on some immigration bill. As you can see the questions I asked had nothing to do with any particular immigration bill. The only question that could come close to anything about immigration was “Why are you so willing to help illegal immigrants over the people of the United States?”. On top of that, she proceeds to rattle off all sorts of Email addresses and mistitles Paula Corley's position. The woman on the other end of the phone states Paula Corley's position as CaseWorker but Paula Corley's Email Signature states Constituent Services Representative.

If that's how things run in Washington, D.C. then it would explain a lot when it comes to how the United States is running. More so since it seemed the woman on the other end of the phone who called me sounded like she had ten too many shots of espresso. At the end of the day, the questions I asked still didn't get answered and the call I got from James Paul Lankford's office only gave me more questions to ask. Like why ask a representative a question when they will just find a way to not answer in one form or another? What we need is someone who will find some time to talk to the people he/she represents instead of just talking to those who gave him/her money.

You know they say that blood is thicker than water, but that's not necessarily true. Now if you are like me you grew up with this quote drilled in your head as Family before anything else. However, that's not the true meaning of the quote. The full quote is “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”. That translates to the bonds you make being more important than the Family you were born into. That would also explain why most people of the world say people will turn against you in the following order:

1) Family 2) Friends 3) The rest of the world

Now I'm not trying to say to treat your family like shit. I am trying to say that you should never expect them to treat you fairly. It seems that most families in today's world will use each other until they are not needed anymore. When that happens they will stop caring about that Family member. They will not even care if they hurt that Family member either. Most Families will not even see the pain they cause each other until it's too late.

I guess maybe that's another reason why the world is what it is. If it's not Politicians fighting for power over people then it's the Corporations fighting for power over people. If it's not Corporations fighting for power over people then it's Families fighting each other. If it's not Families fighting each other then it's people killing other people because they can. I could keep going, but I think I made my point clear. It's only going to be a matter of time before people see the damage they are causing, but by the time they see it will be too late. When it gets to that point all we can do is sit back and enjoy the ride because there will be no coming back from it.
