I never saw this coming but I guess it’s going to change the way I think about too much government at every level in this great country we live in. Let me make this particular point clear that if what I heard is a lie, I will digress back to square one where I started. For sure there have been little tiny lies in the past, even by U.S. presidents. One claimed he was not a crook and another claimed he did not have sex with “that woman.” I just want to make it perfectly clear that the basis I am making my judgment on might just be on shaky ground.

In the past I made remarks that I was born too late (late 1940s instead of late 1930s) but now that I understand ObamaCare and how great it will be for all Americans, I wish that I had been born around the mid-1990s. If that was true, I would now be right around 20 years old and thanks to Uncle Sam, I probably wouldn’t even worry about working for the rest of my life and it might just be possible that I wouldn’t have to, especially since ObamaCare has swept the nation into prosperity.

Based on the fact of the National Security Agency spying on every American, FBI/police drones peeking through my windows and my every movement being tracked by the GPS in my cellular phone, I would declare myself a political refugee and demand political asylum. One point I should make is that I would only do that under one circumstance and that’s if I didn’t get everything free to begin with.

The Congressional Budget Office (take that for what’s it worth) recently released figures showing that around 2.5 million Americans might be losing their jobs because of ObamaCare. Of course the Republicans immediately jumped on those figures to prove that ObamaCare was a really bad thing for America. What surprised me the most was the response from a White House spokesperson stating that it was not necessarily a bad thing for one to lose their job because now they were free to become an entrepreneur or perhaps even better, just give up work entirely. What’s even scarier is that spokesperson declared that workers are now “liberated” because of ObamaCare. Never mind the fact that the rest of America will pay dearly supporting those who don’t want to work.

Before I rant on about the American final frontier, at the state level of government I find something just as perplexing and that’s the recent rise in heroin addiction and what should be done to quell it. Governor LePage wants to put drug pushers in jail while the Democrats want to put the drug abusers in rehabilitation, more than likely at the taxpayers expense. There are two ways to look at our drug problem in America. One is to believe that drug pushers force users to buy drugs and the other is that users buy drugs because they are available. I believe that both are breaking the law and should be punished with the pushers facing the harshest penalties. There is no difference between the users and the pushers because law enforcement has to catch them both. It is also evident that something is seriously wrong with our ability to intercept drugs being smuggled into the United States and I suspect that it is a lack of sufficient federal funding.

And last, but not least, the final frontier as from the Star Trek series, is Space, the final frontier, to boldly go where no man has gone before. One term I never saw coming was space lawyer. I wonder if a space lawyer took up space in law school. A recent court decision in Maine gave beachfront property owners all of the beach at low tide in front of their property. Maybe a space lawyer can do the same for everything above their roofs. Anybody want to buy a cloud?

Maybe Lane Hiltunen, of Windham, should be a space lawyer because he took up space in school.
