Construction and Destruction




Hoover Dam update pictures. As the old expression goes, 'my hat is off ' to the construction workers who build such wonders. The skill and knowledge it takes to create such marvels. The plotters and the planners deserve a lot of credit for drawing up the plans, but it is the actual workers who deserve a medal for what they do and how they do it. The segment of the bridge over Hoover Dam will be spectacular and a far cry from its inception in 1931. It was a wonder then but it is going to be spectacular when it is finished. I would like a ride over it, one more time in its new beauty.
The cartoon got my attention. I was never one to go to a club to see the 'male strippers' as I never thought it was worth the price of admission, if there was one. I listened to those who did go and wondered if they had lost a little piece of their minds. It is much like watching 'go-go' dancers in a dark nightclub with mindless attention. I'm really not a prude, honest, it is just that I find it demeaning for the men and women to participate in such activities. It is like bathroom humor which I think is dumb.
The decaying morals have brought us from our feet to our seat and the results are showing more and more in our every day life. The mystery of romance has gone from our lives and 'reality' is the theme for the day. We are living with the changes of life, but oh for the niceties that once existed in our world. A man doffed his hat when he passed a lady. He placed her in the inside of a walk to protect her from harm. He opened a door and allowed her to enter. He squired her around, proposed, married her and they built a life together. It was not always ice cream and roses as there were problems for everyone to work on to survive, but it was a far cry from what is going on today. The moral fabric is torn and needs mending and male strippers and go-go dancers are not the answer. They only create an inner loneliness that cries for the attention of the one you want to share your life with but are to lazy to show the moral fiber necessary to take a vow for both the good and the bad.
So today look around when you are out there in the world intertwining with your fellow man. Look closely and see the 'good' in each of them . Be a teacher and set the example by your good living and maybe it will catch on. Who knows, we might make our world a stronger and better place to survive in. How do I do that? Damn, another lecture!
