While I appreciate the sentime...Dear Mr. Guenther:<br /> While I appreciate the sentiment, if we are going to restrict ourselves to realism and honesty, my assessment is that 2021 promises to be anything but happy. <br /><br />Whatever happens in the aftermath of the election fraud, half of those who voted in this election, more or less, are going to be decidedly unhappy, a great many to the point of homicidal rage, and their unhappiness will probably splash onto the rest of us. Either the Left, who seem to be perennially unhappy except when their enemies are suffering, will gain control of the Federal government, in which case Liberty loving Americans have been told that they will be subjected to discrimination and persecution unparalleled by anything that has happened to date. Alternately, Trump will maintain control of the White House, and the Left will collectively lose the last vestige of restraint, and we will likely find ourselves in a hot civil war. And that is not even the worst problem looming over us.<br /><br />While I am stunned at how far down the road we have kicked the debt problem, at some point, and 2021 may be the year, the almost 30 trillion dollar funded debt we have incurred will strangle what remains of our economy. Whether or not Trump remains in office is irrelevant to whether or not it happens, and I am not sure whether Trump would be a better person to handle the coming bankruptcy of these presently united States. One might well argue that he is well experienced in dealing with bankruptcy, but his were trifling things compared to the juggernaut of debt looming over us now. That is by no means the only issue facing this country, but those two will do. <br /><br /> A happy year I am not going to get; I'd be thrilled with a 2021 where American was at least on the path back to being a free country, but I doubt that'll happen either. <br /><br />On the other hand, people have found the means to find happiness even in the midst of horrible events, and so in that spirit I accept your wish and in return hope that you and yours find as much happiness as your karma and the Fates allow, and the time to appreciate it.<br /><br />With regard to all who seek, and serve, the Light,<br />Historian<br />Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582656292146780624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-60316840810743968182020-12-31T12:16:06.524-05:002020-12-31T12:16:06.524-05:00Also, I would be remiss if I didn't also wish ...Also, I would be remiss if I didn't also wish the other writers a Happy New Year too.Mike Guentherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760305520055214986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-4210736717333948752020-12-31T12:14:17.367-05:002020-12-31T12:14:17.367-05:00A Happy New Year to you and the Boss Mr. Porretto....A Happy New Year to you and the Boss Mr. Porretto.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about "too many words" in your commentary. Your writing is cogent and easily understood by anyone with a modicum of education and a little common sense. I, for one, enjoy your writings.Mike Guentherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760305520055214986noreply@blogger.com
