Ok,I'm old...65 to be exact.In this society,that makes me ignorable. But I won't be quiet until Im dead,and maybe not then, either.I have lots of beefs with this unbalanced world we live in,and I wont swallow them, like old people are told to do. We live in a youth centered,egotistical,self-important,entitlement for "me", world. Here, we try to believe that the world should be fair,pointed in OUR direction anyway, and that everything revolves around us,our opinions and wants. If it doesn't,we cry like babes,and run screaming to whatever God we "say"we believe in,or our therapist,or our Mommies or senators. We have become quite the bunch of Whiners. We don't want our kids to watch sex on TV,but we WILL let them watch murder and mayhem. Married couples have "his money" or "hers"...they apparently haven't figured out the partnership part of marriage.That is easy to understand tho,because marriage is every bit as disposable as their lawnmowers and toasters have become. Most of our children are a mess too, when you look at them closely.They have been brought to believe that anyone who even smiles at them is a possible child molester,and everyone who doesn't is evil. They are rude,unmannered and generally have a sense of entitlement, promoted even more by school, who rewards little Johnny with a medal for "trying"...Well, we wouldn't want his feelings to be hurt,would we? And it is certain that everyone in his life will always treat him this way,eh?No wonder Lil Johnny ends up working 5 jobs In 3 months.His bosses aren't nice to him!So,he sits on the couch,playing video games while Mom and Dad support him til he's thirty. Mom and Dad wonder where they failed.It is pretty depressing alright.But the Doc will refill their meds and they will cope.They have to, because it takes both of them working to provide for their families,and pay for other people to raise their kids for them. But life is hard and even tho they want less government,they sure wish the government would send that check.
