Letters from the Old
Domini
IN GOD WE TRUST:
This
motto exists on our money, official documents, on the walls of our government
institutions, in all the official halls of Government. So routine is the motto
that I wonder how much we pay much attention to it, and what it means to us
when we see it. The God I know and believe in
also said: “He loves the World!”
I believe that means the people of the
World. Therefore
I recommend an addition to the motto: “HIS PEOPLE WE SERVE". Why just
leave the motto to hang up there to be ignored, admired, decorate our national
placards without also giving it a little interpretation.
Our
forefathers formed a system where the people would appoint individuals who
would serve them to represent their needs and dreams. In other words our
elected representatives are there to serve the people.
It would do no harm to remind our glorious
leaders why they hold their honorable positions. I would have liked to see this
motto on the courtroom of that Texas judge who refuses to give newborn children
birth certificates because their parents are poor immigrants, in the halls of
our Supreme Court whose honorable judges ruled that a corporation is same as a
person, in our congress who too often thinks that the welfare of the bankers
and financial power lords is all they need be concerned about.
The inequality between the wealthy and the
poor, the plight of the aged, the infirm, the education system, the needs of
our infrastructure, the dangerous deterioration of our environment, social
Security, (I’m sure you could add your own lists to this.) are more important
than spending millions of dollars on partisan investigations to perpetuate
one,s power hold on government.
IN GOD WE TRUST
HIS PEOPLE WE SERVE
Sincerely.
The Old
Domini
