Healing A Nation [The World]

September 8, 2009

When I first began research for developing a mission strategy for Protecting America’s Abused ssshhhChildren, with progress came frustration.
I set out researching poverty (indigence) in America which has been one of my passions since my late teens and early twenties … helping people (probably from my upbringing, I don’t know)!

The theme of ‘Protecting America’s Abused Children’ didn’t seem to follow the path of child abuse as most people think of child abuse, but causes that lead to abuses and the affects of abuse that impact generations.

There are many types of abuses a child may experience. Sometimes none, sometimes all of them and some we could never imagine like the Jaycee Dugard case.

A Mission For America’s Future

Findings from researches and investigations into child abuse locally, nationally, and even global resulted in a preliminary conclusion that;

‘We believe that indigent children are the most at risk for abuses identified by researchers because of vulnerability due to lack of resources, constructive support, as well as social and environmental conditions.

As a result of circumstances and conditions imposed upon indigent children through no fault of their own, equal rights and opportunities for higher education among other privileges enjoyed by more fortunate children are often times unavailable if not deprived.’

Looking further, I realized that many organizations world wide focus on children in poverty. However, programs for generations have failed to impact the causes that lead to indigence and generations of cycles that perpetuate poverty and indigent behavior and approach correcting the problem.

‘Certain indigent behavior results in patterns of dependency on welfare and other taxpayer paid support and a high percentage of incarceration which perpetuates the cycles by essentially rewarding the behavior.’

The further I looked into the problem the more the complexity.

Healing A Nation

The primary goal for ‘Protecting America’s Abused Children’ has been to level the playing field for children in poverty with the understanding that given the proper tools and education (rather than indigence and indigent culture), generations of cycles of poverty and abuse could at last be broken; and that rather than a drain to the American economy, they would be proud, productive, taxpaying, contributors to the community and future of America.

Before efforts could move forward, despite campaign promises by the new administration to ‘level the playing field’ for these very people my heart has been searching for solutions to help …all hell breaks loose.

An unprecedented economic crisis!

Millions of American families losing their homes, jobs, and security all at the same time has thrown even more people into indigence …affecting the futures of millions of children who now, may only have a life of indigence to look forward to …and the cycle continues.

Leveling The Playing Field

Recent events in America force rethinking the strategy for the ‘Mission’ for ‘Protecting America’s Abused Children’ to protecting America … not just America …but Humanity.

To protect America’s children and ensure a level playing field, we have to look beyond our community and our borders.

The concerns now are that America’s economic instability will go even deeper very quickly, affecting global stability to the point where there will be a whole new playing field before most people have had time to digest recent economic and political events here in America.

The ‘new ball game’ will not be in the best interest of most of humanity which affect efforts to move forward on any of our projects unless Humanity is focused, adequately informed, and united.

Whether we like it or not everything happening on a global basis affects America all the way down to our neighborhoods and personal lives.

To save our own futures and the future of those we care most about we have to think about Humanity and the world we live in as a whole.

I am as against a new ‘one world government’, Communism , or anything else that threatens our freedom and security as anyone. So no! …I’m not going in that direction.

Honestly however, there is no way around the need to completely tear down and rebuild society for a secure future.

Comes now, the need for some repentance as a nation. We can no longer be the self serving, apathetic, and complacent ‘all about me’ creatures who have let all this slip up on us (like a runaway train).

America, is essentially bankrupt .. morally, fundamentally, spiritually, and financially ! We’re done! Unless we change. Not the government… but US! We need to change our attitudes, our hearts and our views.

While we snipe at each other… rip at political opposites, race, religion, and all the stuff we do, guess what? The world is looking at us with little respect.

We will do ourselves in before terrorists or any other enemy will …and no one will care!

As China and the EU is emerging …as Russia and even Africa move forward in cooperation and partnerships ..the United States looks more like a liability the world doesn’t need.

Politics and government is like a Jerry Springer show.

The United States has more debt than any other nation.

We are not going to force the world to see things our way any more. We’re broke …we can’t buy support any more … and we can’t use military power, we’re spread too thin.

America needs to change! …and I’m not referring to the ‘change’ experienced since 2008.

The good news is, while people have been asleep or busy fighting with or apathetic toward one another … a few good people have been working on solutions to spare the demise.

There are a few rules that we have to follow for that to happen.

Being a ‘great American’ takes more than being a FoxNews caller/contributor and showing up at church on Sunday!

The toughest, most challenging rule of all is we have to work together and get along …like a team …like America used to do!
