“I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul.”

from the poem Invictus, by William Ernst Henley.

[Alberta's Child]

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

--- "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)

Our problem is the government will not follow the constitution. Rather than a republic we are essentially a democracy. The people vote to steal. And there is no recourse because elections are won fraudulently and the lawless thrive. No one on the dole should be allowed to vote.

I earned it by paying into the system for near 50 years and now I will collect a little for hopefully a few years.

You paid taxes and lived beyond your means, that isn't 'earning' anything. Because of your decisions you're going on welfare. Congrats.

Dear Mister Baby Boomer,

Congratulations on your retirement.

Did you not believe the predictions that there would be no social security when you retired?
Did it catch you by surprise, or did you see it coming?

Were you too proud to humble yourself and buy a used car/truck or a smaller house?

Let’s see. Maybe that super cool boat or awesome pair of quads wasn’t the best idea, huh?

I don’t care. Your decisions were YOUR DECISIONS. You OWN THEM.

DON’T COME CRYING ABOUT IT NOW!!!!!

Get a job. Oh yeah, I forgot. THERE AREN’T ANY JOBS because your generation got MY Generation into this mess!!!

I hope a bolt of lightning hits you in the arse!!
