My kids tell me most the kids in school with them are way left of center dems that don't actually have a clue how life really works.
I always remind my son that when I was in my first year at Penn State, my number came out in March, #31 and they took up to 95 out of 365 in those days; deferments until the end of that current semester. Needless to say come Jan 2nd, I was on my way to Ft Dix, and within 6 months overseas; but it actually made me the conservative person I still am. Reason is I saw the filth, poverty, violence, and lack of the freedoms we take for granted. Coming face to face up close with leper beggars will make ya think pretty quick. So, ya know, even with all the problems; we are truly blessed right here in America and never forget that.
Something else, been married 27 years, made more made less throughout all those years; it has never had any bearing on our happiness. All the toys don't amount to much in the end, only family counts when you leave this earth. Keep that in mind and you'll end up fat & happy.
I just want a good steady job where I don’t get hired and then let go after 6 months.
That would be heaven to me. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but my career hasn’t had 6 months in one place full time.
I have cobbled a living out of working for myself, contract work with others when they need me, etc, but full time? Nope.
As for the draft, nope, not an option for me. I’d be rejected due to health concerns. I have a disability that would make me a danger to the other soldiers. So, not a whole lot I can do about that.
Thanks for your kind words. I am just frusterated with the older folks who should get it but seem bound and determined to bring everything crashing down. Then they lecture me. “When I was your age, etc”. Yeah, we get it you could get a full time job in the mill at 18 and be set for life. Doesn’t work that way anymore, sorry.
Yeah, I get it, me not supporting the unions that are screwing us over means I won’t get work with them. Yeah, and I should join the teacher’s union, becuase, why again? So I can teach what I don’t want to teach and fork over my hard earned dollars?
