My first Post ! I am an elderly man, sort of.  Some people say I’m senile and some say “I’m a crazy old man.”

So here we go, This morning I was watching the weather. Decided to go to YouTube. I spotted a channel which had the quotes of Galileo Galilei. If you’re not familiar he lived between 1564 thru 1642. My thought was in a time when life was so different what could he have said that would have relevance today. After reading a few of his quotes I landed on this one.

It is as follows “He who makes himself a sheep shall be eaten by the wolves”.

I was thinking about the present political situation in the USA today.  Have we come to the point where the Democrats have intentionally made themselves the sheep and the Republicans have always been the wolf? The guess is that the Democrats played the sheep hoping to gain more votes in midterm elections. Now as the wolf bears his teeth they are about to be eaten. I believe the only way to beat a wolf is to fight like a wolf.  

It is amazing that this scenario keeps repeating itself.  Maybe because we don’t teach history or civics in school. We don’t promote programs like Boys and Girls State or Nation anymore. Our schools are focused more on power and money. This would mean the common citizen has no idea of parliamentary procedures. The electoral procedures or and responsibility of congress to its citizens.

This gives the great advantage to the wolves. They are easily able to prey upon the sheep.

If the leaders of the sheep promote sheep acting like sheep.  Well, so goes the story ,the Wolf versus the sheep.  We all know how it will end up. Just in case you don’t, the Wolves eat the sheep!
