Voter sign up fraud is not new!

People get paid for how many signatures they get for any political measure.

This has always been a problem and nothing new- it just takes quality control to know if someone is doing their job correctly.

Paying people for signatures is mostly the problem and has nothing to do with personal persuasions.

As long as there is a monetary exchange for such things there will always be abuses in this system.

The media seems to jump on everything it can to attract an audience- all the bad news gets an audience.

Transparency- is built into most systems, but unscrupulous individuals will always try to capitalise on a corrupt system.

There are people in every state that make a good living organising groups to get signatures- most are honorable, but there are always exceptions.

Now is the time to step back from all the bad news of the day and reflect about who controls what the media reports!

Human beings are negatively oriented- it is not for the love of God that most of us find religion - it is more a fear of hell.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself- it is not real as fear, but when it becomes real it is no longer fear that guides us but hopefully intelligence!

It reminds me of a story of a friend that refused to walk into the desert for fear of rattlesnakes and a past event where he wast bit!

In reality though most never come upon a snake and when they do it is not fear that comes to play- it is action, which say stop,!

Be careful and move away- This is no longer fear, but another psychological event.

Fear is a phantom a thought - a word- nothing more- so turn off your television set if you are fearful or read a good book take time to learn something new- changes is the only thing that is certain in life and if everyone just watches and learns instead of reacting from fear- this too will pass.

Life is way to short to waste time on childish fears- there are enough real problems we face that needs to be addressed now!

Hate & fear are two sides of a coin to keep us from looking directly at a problem.

The media isn't helping us- They just report and they say it is unbiased- is it really?

Sowing seeds of distrust can fuel a crisis that never needed to happen.

Sure there have been many mistakes and most can be traced to greed & opulence, but we haven't had to deal much with the natural challenges that will eventually come upon us- So I say " Stop the madness now and get ready , because man made problems though they sound very bad now are nothing to the ones that have nothing to do with anyone and we will be facing our share of these challenges, because we have mostly been asleep at the wheel.

All of us are at fault for this- We always seem to gravitate to the negative- We enjoy people that haven't the real stuff to change things and many take delight in creating havoc!

When it is over then we shall see what was real and what was just our fantasy.

Hind sight is always 20/20!

Anxiety creates the fuel for this fire to burn and stopping long enough to look directly at the problem is our only way through it.

We have become a reactive society- No wonder we have gotten ourselves into this mess- You can see it because it is very transperant- This is no surprise to most intelligent people- Now is the time to watch and like a wise person- Dr. Owl- once said-

"When fishermen cannot go to sea they mend their net's!"

Remember on a slow news day ,the media will do whatever they can to attract viewers and this causes a panic which makes a workable problem worse.

Take a day away and stop the chattering and the abuse of the media-

Serenity is needed now and remember -Fear is only a shadow and the only thing we have to fear ,is fear itself.

This too will pass!
