I’d say it’s well past time to worry…

June 18, 2008

After waking up to This Article I’d say its time for us all to do some serious worrying about the state this nation has fallen into as of late. Yes we all know, the price of oil is outrageous, and the cost of food is double what it was a year ago, this is no secret. Unfortunately this means a steep decline in what is being donated to charity, and its almost always the poor that are in most need of help. Lets face it, it’s not the wealthy that are most likely to donate to those less fortunate, but the ones that are barely getting by themselves, and know where one unforeseen event could leave them.

I don’t think I need to remind anyone that the gap between rich and poor is getting wider and wider in this country. I know very well what it means to try to get by on little of nothing, and it is getting harder and harder with each passing week. The government and corporations seem out of touch with reality and only interested in self-preservation. This is part of the reason I hate discussing politics so badly, I don’t believe any of the presidential candidates are in it for the right reasons. If you want my faith back in the governmental system, put a poor boy in office, and get rid of the career politicians.

How much longer will it be before we are all up a creek with no hope of rescue, because those in power have finally sold us there? Maybe sooner than we think…

Is love only for the young?

June 16, 2008

When I first read This story I couldn’t help but in a way be reminded of the days my grandmother spent in a nursing home before her death. She had a special gentleman friend there named Carl, and while the nature of their friendship was and is still none of my business, I was actually glad that she had found someone. It makes me sad to read what happened to the couple in this story. God willing I should live that long, I hope my children don’t take it upon themselves to treat me like a child the way that man’s son is doing his father.
