Being a citizen of the USA isn't as cool as it used to be.
Or so the Senate tells me.
Slacker!
Thar's always Wyoming or Alaska... at least for now & a bit
Don't give up, we need the wisdom of older generations, now more than ever.
by George Carlin
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all, mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
Don't be such a puss....
Here's what ya do, FRiend:
Buy the three best Bruce Lee movies you know. I suggest, "Return of the Dragon," and, "The Chinese Connection."
Buy two sets of nunchaku.
Learn how to use 'em.
Works for me! Now CHEER UP AND BURN ONE!
;-)
This is SOOO easy to fix. Place one foot across the border down south of Columbus, then step back. Declare yourself an "illegal entrant". Now you can do anything you want.
Thank you John McCain, Ted Kennedy, and other assorted powdered pussies in what used to be the Senate of the United States (NOT of Mexico).
Hang the code, and hang the rules. They're more like guidelines anyway.
I kind of had the same feeling last night. I watched Saving Private Ryan and forgot how powerful the movie is. At the end, when Hanks tells Ryan to "earn this" I kind of broke down. I don't think America is earning this, and certainly the majority of the law makers in DC aren't.
Anyway keep your chin up.

And not only that, but our local dump is no longer called a dump, or even a "landfill" for that matter. Now it's called a "transfer station".
And now that I think about it. We can't even throw batteries in the garbage anymore. I'm not talking about car batteries, I'm talking about AA, AAA, C, D, 9V etc.
We have to take them to the "transfer station" along with our fluorescent light bulbs.
But don't get me started. I could go on for hours.
Sigh. I hear ya. Tell your neighbors that cute little squirrel probably has the plague.

FACT: Everyday is a gift from God.
He'll tell you when the time is up.
So meanwhile, enjoy the gifts He
has bestowed upon you.
You are not kidding about squirrel shooting.
Best regards,
No wait, or you'll miss Hillary's coronation.
Crash while so drunk you can’t even write your own name, no problem. Crash again three weeks later while falling down drunk, they drive you home, no problem. I’m sure that “Click it or Ticket” would not be a problem either.
Any other illegal activity, just hide the evidence in your Congressional office and point out that you are above the law. You’ll have bipartisan support for you criminal activities.
Dontcha know you were supposed to sneak up on it and use a garrote?
