Escaping Reality

I am sorry for the absence, but I managed to take a few days off with my wife, daughter and her family. The trip was to Disney World, and I promised not be distracted during the time there. The fact is, every time I go there, I realize how that place draws thew crowds of kids, but even more importantly, adults. When there, the real world virtually disappears. Every time a cast member says anything to you, you get the "Have a Magical Day" greeting. After a while, you almost begin to believe you can have one. 

Then somewhere along the line, you see a newspaper, or even a limited TV broadcast, and reality comes back. I kept my promise to not get so caught up in current events that it dominated my focus, what I realized, as we all do, is that the world events just can not be escaped. There really is no way that magic can make all that go away, and we as citizens of the US can not make the problems of the society go away, and should not expect them to be cured without our voices, because those who would try to change our way of life, are not having a magical day, but are hard at work and just as passionate about bringing about that change, as we might be to prevent the erosion of our liberty.
