What are you waiting for?
I've been kinda forced to watch the telethons the last couples of days for Haiti since no less than 32 channels carried it and I do feel for them but I started asking myself when in the hell are we going to start helping Americans? I mean we are in a baaad recession, have lord knows how many homeless, kids on the streets, etc. This country could make do with all the stupidity in D.C. if we had telethons and donations for alllll the probelms we have here. You have VETs who go different countries and fight for us, despite many arm-chair quarterbacks (who never leave their couch) who say we shouldnt be in the middle east. Many come back injured beyond comprehension and are treated like shit. We have had hoemless since the beginning, people out of work by the millions and yet help another country. The heart is in the right place for sure but DAMN if we dont need to take of our own first!
oh yea we have survived another year. We have survived turmoil, strife, the mundane and the ridiculous. Its only a mere pity that someone like Obama is only beginning. Even though it is a very great thing that we have managed to overcome racial issues to elect a black president, the fact that that president has caused more problems than we need is in a word... sad. So, let's hope with the new year, that he will pull his head out of his ass and become the president that we wish him to be. The greatest thing we could have for the new year is not a president thats a minority or a low unempoyment rate or medical care or whatever. No, the greatest thing we can have is...hope. Because if we have no hope then we have given up and America does not ever give up. So I hope you all have a great new year and many more to come
yes christmas time once again....that one moment in the year when we forgive the smallest discretion. Its the one moment when we treat people like we want to be treated all year round. It's where the people that are homeless, instead of being treated like they're invisible, are treated with kindness. When instead of asking for a handout, all they want is a smile. Its the time of miracles and maybe just maybe if we believe, we can make miracles happen. But then miracles do happen....so merry christmas to all....
