HOW GOVERNMENT CAN LEARN FROM AUTO RACING

            I know, you’re thinking “How does that work?” But consider this:

            When you are setting up a race car, if the balance isn’t right the car could be in what’s considered a “loose” condition. You enter the turn and the back end of the car breaks loose and smashes into the wall. You can adjust on the car but if you go too far you have a "tight" condition, the car goes into the corner but when you turn the wheel the font end doesn’t have enough grip and you slide up into the wall with the front end. In either case, you have hit the wall and you’re done.

            In managing government you should find that perfect balance, not too loose and not too tight, so we can achieve the most efficient performance out of any issue. I want to go to Congress because I feel I can examine issues and actually apply some logic to achieve that balance.

Why the USA should lead the way.

            I should start this first by stating that, although I consider myself a Christian, I do not belong to any church or religious organization. I am probably the least likely person to put things in context using a belief in God, but my beliefs are based on observations and logical deductive reasoning. I am not influenced by any particular denomination, so my views could be accepted by many.

            The earth has been around for about four billion years. Man, from most determinations, about four thousand years. This is a very small fraction of time in the big scheme of things. The interesting thing is that for these four thousand years, all of the civilizations before ours had all of the same natural resourses available to them that we have today. So why is it, that in the last 232 years, our country, our civilization, has made unbelievable leaps and bounds in advancements? Compared to the last four thousand years, the past 232 years is a split second, barely two and one half lifetimes.

            I think it can be summed up in one word: FREEDOM. For thousands of years, the land we inhabit sat virtually untouched, populated only by a few who’s purpose in life was to appreciate and nurture the land. During the same period in time, while this land remained undiscovered by the east, countries, kingdoms and civilizations came and went in the eastern hemisphere all based on the conquering and domination of man by other men. Some even did it in the “Name of God”, as if they had been chosen to play God’s roll on Earth.

            Even after some free thinking and brave soles figured out that the world was not flat, and ventured out to discover this “New World”, countries from the eastern hemisphere tried to expand their borders and controls of this land. Eventually, some more brave soles felt this was an opportunity to truly make this a “New World” free from the idea of man ruling man. They felt that it was a God given right for man to live free and for the government to serve man, not for man to serve the government.   

            As smart and insightful as the founding fathers were, their definitions still needed some redefining and modifications. An example is that when they stated “All men are created equal”, they literally meant all “Men”, excluding the women. They also did not consider those not of European decent as men. Nonetheless, this was a great start and was maybe by God’s design. It provided ways for future leaders to refine and expand the basic beliefs and reap new rewards.

            I’m a firm believer in “Give a man a fish and he will have dinner, teach him how to fish and he will never go hungry.” This is the point where you must go fishing yourself to truly understand my point. On this fishing expedition, make note of the advancements of technologies that parallel the advancements of freedom and equality. See the early advancements made after winning our freedom. See the advancements after the freedom of the slaves, equal rights to women, equal rights to minorities. As we advanced, we have been rewarded with new discoveries that have enhanced our lives on this Earth; the whole time, unlocking secrets that have been here the last four thousand years. Secrets that were withheld until a civilization, a country, found the right path.

            If you were to argue in a court of law as to the civilization that should be the example to all, the evidence would be overwhelming as to the advancements and discoveries rewarded to those of The United States of America. On the contrary, the occupants of the Middle East have contributed virtually nothing during their four thousand years of existence. They live in jealousy of the west, but lack the understanding and motivation to improve their own surroundings. They teach their young that the west is out to “conquer” and “occupy” their countries when the contrary has been proven over and over again. In the case of Japan’s surrender after World War II, our countries embraced each other, treated each other with respect and in very short order worked together to re-build their country and economy. Today we have been friends for decades and warriors from both sides that had fought each other on the battlefield have met and embraced. They even recently played a game of softball on a field near Pearl Harbor , the place were our fight began. I’m sure that those that lost their lives that day in 1942 looked down on that game and are proud of the aftermath of their sacrifices.
