Back in March my nephew was helping weed the garden, and really made me see things better

He is 12 or 13 I can't remember, home schooled just like his older
brother and younger sister. All three awesome kids. Well, we were
talking about different things while weeding, and he brought up the
economy and government in general. This 12 year old kid has a greater
grasp of economics and the proper role of government than probably 90%
of the adults in this country. He understands that printing money that
doesn't exist is the root cause of the economic problem. He understands
that it isn't our role to tell the whole world how to behave, it isn't
the role of the government to feed, clothe, or give us health care.
And, it isn't the role of government to monitor our lives.
And what blew me away the most he could comprehend that a building
won't fall over in its own footprint because the top 20 out of 110
floors are on fire.
I asked him where he got his news from, cause it was obvious that he
wasn't watching the networks or the news channels. Or so I thought, I
didn't give him enough credit.
He told me, " I just listen to who is talking and then I listen to
the other people, and I think about what they will get out of what they
are saying, then which ever one makes the most sense I believe."
Imagine that he uses common sense and discernment in a world where most all the
kids and adults except whatever crap they are fed from the powers that
be, he is thinking for himself.
This was the second thing that happened to me yesterday that really
picked me up. We still have a hard time ahead, but folks are waking up
and coming around. I am seeing it more and more each day. This means we
have to keep it up and don't get complacent. If we want better for our
kids and their kids we have to stand up now and not back down.
The momentum is shifting our way. Freedom is closer now.
