Charlie for now: Blog

Thank you, StarFleet Carl for mentioning it, and a Glorious Feast of the Dead to all. And, yes, LET'S GO BRANDON !!!

On the 6th of January, I wrote 'It was a good run...'. I got replies, both good and bad, in my view, but I'd like to resurface my concern. If anyone out there thinks anything is going the way our forefathers thought it would, they're smoking something stronger than cigarettes.

There was something once said about rebellion and blood and fixing things and waking people up, but I don't have and don't want to work up the energy to research the exact quote. All I know, is that things are going downhill in a hand basket, and as long as 51 percent of the population is benefiting from that fact, our lives are going to keep diminishing.

Have a fun fucking day.

I don't want to get to deep into it, but this is a very special day for a lot of us, and I, for one, would have thought we'd be doing better. Hopefully the future will show promise and not the doldrums we find ourselves in. To all of you that have lost someone, my heart goes out to you. Love, Charlie.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."

Tiffany pushed me over three hundred thousand reads, or a close equivalent, depending on how we look at the numbers we're provided. I want to thank all of you who read my stories, all of your feedback that makes me want to keep writing, and the urging of a couple of you to actually try my hand at writing and publishing professionally. I'm working on that as we speak, and I'll let you know how it's working as soon as I gather some feedback or at least logical data on the subject. Again, Thank you all. Charlie Fornow.
