Letter To The Editor

 

The world is controlled by philosophers long dead.

 

How you vote.

 

The job you hold.

 

What you think is good.  What you think is bad.

 

All controlled by the philosophy you adhere to. 

 

You may not know where it came from.  

 

Or how you got it. 

 

No matter, it’s there anyways.

 

Philosophy is akin to having a guidepost, a compass, a checklist, in your head.

 

Every time you are confronted with making moral, political, or economic choices, you refer to the particular philosophy you hold to help you decide what the “right” thing to do is.

 

Two people could witness the same event; one think it terrible, the other terrific.  It all depends on what philosophy they each have.

 

The phrase, “You are what you eat” is not as accurate as, “You are what you think”.

 

And what you think can become reality if millions of other people are thinking the same thing.

 

At the time of the American Revolution, the dominant philosophy was that of John Locke’s Natural Law, the idea that every individual has the right to their Life, Liberty, and the right to own and control their own Property.  

 

The result?  The Declaration of Independence. A burst of human freedom.  An unprecedented increase in the standard of living.

 

The dominant philosophy in America today is that of Karl Marx.

 

Be it the absolute, irrational hatred of the market economy, the characterization of profits as bad, businessmen as greedy.  When most Americans speak, it might as well be Karl Marx himself doing the talking. 

 

But philosophical ideals have a way of becoming reality?

 

Unless most Americans change the way they think, their philosophy, they and/or future generations are going to wind up with the socialistic society they so crave complete with the poverty and police state that comes with it.

Epsom Food Pantry

 

As I write this article, a group of devoted citizens are busy at the Amory in Concord filling the wonderful boxes for delivery to all the food pantries and elderly housing facilities in our area. We are so lucky to have this at our fingertips and to be the recipients of the gifts of food.

 

Back at our Pantry we have had a busy week as we had our monthly USDA delivery which the boys of the Pantry pick up. We are assembling all our volunteers for the 22nd when we shall receive the trucks from Concord. It will be such fun and excitement both at Meadowbrook and at the Old Town Hall on Route 4.

 

In the past weeks we have had some new volunteers, who are always needed. That being said, welcome to Eve and Andrew.

 

As I said in my last article, the first year of our Pantry is coming to a close.  It has a challenge both in the setting up of the Pantry and getting folks to feel comfortable when they come for their food. I really think that we have established a nice, friendly atmosphere for our families. That all has happened with the attention of Ken, Liz, and all the volunteers who serve them twice a month.

 

On behalf of all the members of our Food Pantry, I want to personally thank all the folks who have supported us, either through money, gifts, or food.

 

Until next time,

Priscilla
