Speaking Out

 

What amazes me on a day like today (Father's Day), many of the memes and jpegs I see, depict a father with a son, instead of a daughter or a son and daughter.  Not sure what the meaning of this might be, but there is clearly a subtle message being sent.

I used to speak out a lot but cut back after realizing nobody really gave a damn about what I thought because I was not a celebrity or rich and famous.  It seems like those are the one we only want to listen to while at the same time, those are the ones that are putting us in the situation we are currently in.  Americans never learn their lessons unless they are veterans.

Is our world much better off TODAY than it was YESTERDAY...  with the understanding that yesterday is not really yesterday but years ago???

The ways in which we are better are offset by the ways in which we have remained the same or gotten worse...  like:

• education
• healthcare
• quality of life
• the American dream
• wealth distribution
• value of the dollar
• global respect
• purchasing power
• national debt

Some say that our politicians are to blame for maintaining the status quo, yet those same politicians continue to get elected...  making our comments meaningless since we are not prepared to do anything about them...

ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS but not in the USA...  all we have a words...  words...  words...

It seems there are a group of Americans that do not want the government to reduce its spending that would result in lower taxes and more social programs which makes little sense to me.

It seems there is also a group of Americans who do not want to remove ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS from out country...  and yet, these same Americans bitch very loud that no one is above the law.

That makes no sense to me either.

The good part about my life is that I can live my life the way I want to live my life regardless of all this other shit happening around me...  NONE OF IT CHANGES MY LIFESTYLE...
