There is no doubt in my mind there is right and wrong in the world today. Bad things happen every single day. Just turn on the news, and you will see that no matter where it is in this country, someone either robbed a bank, killed someone, kidnapped someone, or shot up a school. Of course, there has been evil in the world ever since the beginning. But that is really not what I want to talk about today. What I really want to get out to you people is the actual meaning of right and wrong. No dictionary can tell you what it REALLY means to each and every one of us.

Every single person, I believe, wants to do right, or right a wrong if they committed it. Yes, there are the crazies out there that do not care what they do to hurt others. They are the minority, and mean nothing to you and I! They will get what is coming to them. They are rats, and deserve to be treated as such.

What has happened this week in my blog is an example of something totally wrong to do. I run this blog saying I want free debate, but on the other hand there is no way I can overlook the hatred that has overtaken the blog in the recent weeks. I am hoping that hatred is gone, and gone for good. Like I have said many times in the past, I am here to write and get my voice heard, not pick fights with people that have no intellect what-so-ever! It is a waste of my time, and also a waste of the readers that actually want to read something worth while!

Having said that, why is it not more custom to be civil anymore? I do not mean we all have to come in here and get along, and sing a show tune together. I mean listen to each others comments and respect them for what they are, their opinions on a certain subject. No one in here, Republican or Democrat, believe they can get someone to change their way of thinking. Once someone is set on something, that is what the believe. (Except for Rudy Guliani, who does not know if he is for or against abortion on a daily basis...but he is not in this blog, so I guess that means nothing)

It has never been about left or right for me in my writings. I write what I feel, and that is what I feel is right. Others may think I am wrong, and that is fine with me. That is called debate, and I love to have it. But sometimes, there is a right and a wrong way of doing things, and the past week we have seen the wrong way of debating with others.

Here is my point: If the person who wrote the comment would have been called a Nazi for supporting President Bush and the war efforts, would that person in turn also be mad and upset they were called a name that is catogorically untrue? I believe so, and I believe I would have had to do the same thing I did, just for a different person.

I really do not want to go into another blog about what happened, I was just using this as an example, because it goes straight to my point.

Your ideas, no matter if I agree with them or not, are not the only ones out there. That is why thousands of people online write every single day, thinking they may have the next bright idea for a solution to the worlds problems. I am NOT one of those people. I may offend some with the wording I us at time, but that is only because I feel passionate about that I write. There is a line in the sand though, and people cross it sometimes. I hope I have not been one of those people.

I guess the moral of the story is trying to do right is hard, but it is the best. What I have done in this last week to make this blog better was right, in my opinion.

But before I end this blog, there is another aspect of right and wrong I want to loom at, and that is every day life. Forget about the blogs and being PC for a minute. How about every day when you go to work, to school, or where ever you go. Is it easier not to be nice to people, because if you fake it they will hate you later? I beloieve it is easier to tell people a lie than it is the truth. But that all goes back to right and wrong and what we are lacking as a society today. There is no truth to people anymore. They lie to get out of anything and everything. People who have money do not want to go to jail, because they feel they may have done wrong, but they are not as low as "common folk". (refering to Paris Hilton) The right thing to do would be to go to jail and serve your time like anyone else would have to. But she feels she is above any law this country can make, and that is a theme running through Hollywood, or anyone with a big bank account for that matter.

We have put some of these celebs on a pedastool, and told them they are allowed to do wrong, as long as we can read it in the Tabloids the next day.

I feel this country is loosing its goodness. People are fighting all over the place for no reason but to fight. There are people that will change their positions just to start a fight with someone they once agreed with. There is no personal attachment to political candidates, because we all have the same feeling about all of them....they are corrupt and no good! The political system, which we use to elect GOOD people to represent us in the Nations Capital and other parts of the country and world, has become nothing but another money making machine where if you want power, you better have the money to fight off the people with the HUGE bank accounts. This is politics, right or wrong, it still is. There is no room out there for a person with little money to run for President or Congress. I am sorry to say that, because I bet you that the people with very little money would get this country running the way it should in a matter of months, not years!

On the other hand, "Absolute power corrupts absolutly". So, the middle class Americans who may have a chance to win may fall for the same things their predecessors did! This is one of the things that really scares me about getting invovled with politics. I am a good person, in my own opinion, and I would try to do my best to help whatever branch of Government I would be asked to. But there is always those people who will come after you to pull you down to their level. I have seen it. I have seen many good, honest people run for political office, and when they get to Washington, it i like they were a whole different person.

This blog went through a lot of right and wrong, and something that have nothing to do with right and wrong, but still was on my mind and I did not feel like putting into another blog. As a nation, we need to start thinking about what is going to be the best way to move forward in the future. I believe it will be a political system that is not run by the special interest groups on both sides of the isle. I believe it will be by everyday people like you and me. The only problem is we need to get an everyday joe intheir that knows his stuff, and make sure that person does not fall under the spell of power. Then and only then will we see the improvement of the country as a whole, and open debate from all sides will continue to grow!
