As of late, I have been fighting an insufferable barrage of intruders into that area commonly referred to as, "My Castle." Normally I'm not a pessimist, but I have a feeling I am losing this battle.

Just because I have a telephone in my home does not mean I want
everybody to call me. I am working on a plan that when anybody calls 
me, either business or political, they have to pay a little bit on my 
phone bill. After all, I got my phone service for me to call out not 
for businesses and political jackrabbits to call me. If they have 
anything to say to me, the United States Postal Service has been in 
business for a good long time and I have a mailbox in front of my 
house. 

Getting back to these political jackrabbits. I call them jackrabbits
because they hop all over the field and you never know where they are 
standing at any one time. To be a politician today you have to have a 
severe case of schizophrenia so that you can be all things to all 
people all the time. If these politicians want my vote, they can do 
what they do among themselves; pay me for it. 

It would be cheaper in the long run, and civil, for politicians to pay
for their votes. Instead of spending $100 million to get elected to a 
$100,000 a year job, they could write checks to the general populace of 
which, there would be much more civil feelings towards these 
politicians. 

Then, the status of my Castle could be restored to its former glory of
silence and solitude. 

Even the Bible promises this for God's people. "And my people shall
dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet 
resting places" (Isaiah 32:18 KJV). 

It is an endless battle to keep the world from intruding into my Castle,
but it is worth the effort.
