Semper paratus

Always be prepared, the motto of the U.S. Coast Guard makes partial sense for an entity designed to handle maritime emergencies. But a commercial for a local business ended with the words, ..."be prepared for the unexpected." Is this possible? Does this contain any meaning? How could my daughter and son have prepared for the teen drunk who plunked himself behind the wheel and then careened off the road into their oncoming car whacking off my daughter’s young life and permanently injuring my young son. How could the father of the ‘unexpected’ baby boy born to a dying mother, have been prepared for single parenthood? Today, semper paratus is impossible. Words have no meaning to our new President Obama and standard operating procedure ( SOP) for celebrities, politicians and VIP’s requires that the mouth to be engaged without a brain in gear. An underlying assumption, however, seems to be that talking cures, in spite of the fact that statements contradict themselves from day to day or week to week. For example, a spokesman for the big O ( zero sum gain Obama) said the government did not want to be owners of GM and Chrysler, but " stewards of structural change." Any synonym I choose - on guard, foresighted, forehanded, forewarned, armed, ready, primed, groomed, rehearsed, anticipatory, expectant or unlimbered ( more on this presently) won’t change my preparedness for this contradictory, language masking agenda.. To unlimber, by the way, is to disconnect a gun or caisson from its limber, a two-wheeled detachable vehicle used to transport ammunition. Note: a gun has been the weapon of choice lately for the deranged who murder while under immersed in a delusion. Contemplating the present problem of semper paratus, I have concluded that I will never be prepared for the next dose of insanity, inevitably spawned out of hypocrisy and contradiction, handed out by our liberal, ruling class and acquiesced by sheeple.
