From the looks of it, it looks like we need to ‘free the slaves’ again! The trouble is, would they even WANT to be free this time around? Maybe folks like those in Glen Beck's audience will help to ‘free’ them again; and free them from a different ‘plantation’, a government one this time! They may need to ‘unchain’ them from the ‘slavery’ in their minds, as well as any physical one of the past/present! A couple of those people told about the attitude of Obama “giving them money, supposedly from ‘stash’ somewhere”. Now that was appalling! You'd think they would want to take care of themselves with maybe a little help; not to lean on Obama like he was their 'daddy'! This attitude, sadly, has been around for a very long time. Even back after the Civil War, people like Booker T. Washington lamented that there was a group of people griping about their lot in life! He said their was a group of Negroes who didn't want "the patient to get well"! There were others, it seems to me, who licked their wounds, dried their tears, and went out and used their skills learned as slaves to build businesses, farms and whole communities!

Ouch, that didn’t turn out too well! I was trying to fix it by separating paragraphs! For some reason, after using ‘spell check’, I couldn’t figure out why even after separating it into smaller paragraphs, it wouldn’t work! Maybe I should’ve put the html code in it instead. I’d forgotten how to use it though, I’m so used not having to fool with html codes!
