From the Back Porch

 

I am reminded when I watch Fox News in the mornings just how stupid, Democrats pretend to be when they try to ignore or bury the truth from the American public...  personally, I don't much give a shit anymore...  other than recognizing that it is happening because this present world no longer really belongs to my generation...   and, while some of us are still working because we either can't stand not to be working or we want to earn as much money as we can before death...  most of us have retired and just look at the rest of the world with pity...

I say pity because there are really no other words that fit this particular situation that we have in America where some of us:

• no longer want the truth
• no longer want the rule of law
• no longer want to stop crime and violence
• no longer want to stop illegal drugs
• no longer want to provide a quality education
• no longer want to be free

Janis Joplin said it best...  "...you don't know what you've lost until it is gone..."

My parents are dead.  My brother and sister have no desire to listen to my concerns.  My daughter has become an expat in China...  she does not live there to get away from me, she lives there to get away from the USA...  and, I respect her decision especially since CHINA is going to one day be superior to the USA...  see the Joplin comment above...

My problem with the USA is not the items that I listed above but all the wealthy people who are desperate to control the rest of us because they control the money...  WEALTH IS KING and it will always be that way...  and, once you are wealthy, you all of a sudden become this person who knows what is best for everyone else...  even when they ae smart enough to realize that we all have different personalities and therefore different demands and desires...

Being wealthy does not make you smart...  and, if you were already smarter, it does not make you smarter than everyone else....

The strange thing about being wealthy is that you are automatically in the HAVE category of society and everyone else is in the HAVE NOT...

They say that history always repeats itself... and throughout history, the HAVE NOTS have always revolted against the HAVES...
