Electric Bikes -N- Scooters Blog

I just want to take a moment and reflect upon the events of 9/11.  Being a history teacher, I have tried to show my students that there have been key events in the course of American history that not only shake us to our core, but also reaffirm the fact that we have a strong resolve to not get stepped on.  Our heritage from the Founding Fathers of this great nation demand that we are ever vigilant not only to enemies foreign but also some that may be domestic. So, today I just wanted to go off topic from the usual electric bike or electric scooter fare that I usually offer up.

I personally do not ascribe to the idea that as Americans, we can go home every night ,sit in our recliners with a can of beer and allow our government to run itself.   This government, like a fossil fueled vehicle, requires maintenance from its people  in order to survive.  Sure, we can blame our politicians, and we can curse the ground that they walk on, but in the end it is the American people that are responsible for the officials and government that we have.

I was watching Charlie Sheen on TV today, and he believes that 9/11 was an inside job perpetrated by the  U.S. government so that the Federal officials would have unbridled power through devices such as the Patriot Act.  I personally don’t think that is the case, but I can also see clearly that our republic is becoming more oppressive every day. The U.S. government didn’t stage 9/11 in my opinion, because they didn’t have to.  There has been an unprecedented surge of laws, rules,  regulations and executive orders over the last 50 or so years without a staged event.  Heck, our government hasn’t been operating in the green since the days of Andrew Jackson and every year the national debt gets larger and larger.

If the attacks of 9/11 tells us anything it is this: we can’t afford to be lazy.  We can’t allow ourselves to have loose laws that don’t hold the elected officials responsible for their actions or their neglect.  We must become sand instead of oil in the machinery of the world when we see that there is a wrong doing and we have to remember to do so with a firm resolve and with a patient spirit.

To do any less is to court disaster and tyranny.

God Bless the United States of America!
