Nature is having her revenge and the human race is regressing...GO NEANDRATHALS!
These thioughts are mine also. But I blame parents the most...they are the steering wheel if you will...to keep a child on the right path. And it takes TWO parents...with LOVE for each other and their off spring. There is too little of that in our society today. Discipline is a must also.
In my area and perhaps others in the country, there seems to be gravitation towards opening brewerys. What we don't have enough already? What is it about alcoholic beverages that people are so driven to consume them? I read in the paper every morning about crimes committed by someone who has had too much to drink. Domestic violence caused by one or both parties involved having had too much to drink. Children abused by a parent under the influence. It seems there are those who get so antsy at quitting time at work that they can't wait to hit a bar. Just in my area there seems to be an increasing number of all types of violence committed by someone who has had too much alcohol. Drugs also is a problem. What is wrong with our society that makes someone want to get stoned either on alcohol or drugs? Stress? On any given evening you can drive by a bar or a lounge and see people who stagger to their cars to head for another. Are they so desparate that they need to get high and then put others at risk by driving on public roads? I have had some stress that only can be had when serving in the military, but never felt that alcohol or drugs would ease stress...or pain...or make a bad situation better. Why won't our government tax alcoholic beverages out of existance ( not prohibition as they tried that once) like they are trying to do with cigarettes. And since some States are making certain drugs legal, tax drugs also. There is so much more to this problem...but I need a drink.
What makes Republicans feel good...Money! Power and wealth just like all polititans. How can I get re-elected so I can get more? What can I do to stir up the public and keep them baffled at what I am doing. Oh, I feel so good!
After reading some of the posts here it seems that there are strong opinions about our government. As a veteran of the Army and Air force I agree with some, and of course disagree with some. I am an Independent and always have been, but I v**e for who I feel is the best man running for President. I have v**ed for Republican presidents and I have v**ed for Democratic presidents. If its one thing I can't stand it's people who are only one or the other and are so blinded by idealogy that they will do anything to see their choice gain the oval office. They complain and whine about whoever the majority of the nation puts into office, instead of holding out a hand to help improve any given situation facing our great nation. They do their best instead to pit one party against the other. In my 26 years in the military I learned that working together was of benefit to all. Evidently there are a good many v**ers, members of Congress and Senate, who never served in the military so never learned that wisdom. So if they never learned that why would anyone v**e for them. Because we are so gullible that we believe everything we hear and see in the media? That we are so strongly Republican or Democratic that we want to be on the winning side regardless of the harm to our nation? When it comes to politics I'm not sure if there is such a thing as an honest man, just those who claim to be. I wonder...has anyone seen a truly honest man lately? I'm now 78, and I have never seen one.
