From Nov. 13, 2009
OK, things are getting scarier. In this
past year, stress has increased all across the country. Violent crimes have
skyrocketed, smoking has increased, official unemployment rate is the highest
its been in close to 30 years and if you include the “unofficial” unemployment
rate, it is almost 17% which is the highest rate since the Great Depression in
1929.
Hasn’t anyone noticed that the more the
government takes control of everything, the meaner and nastier people become? Kind of
reminds me of the ‘bitter’ people of the old USSR—people were thought to be
meaner because there was no incentive to do better (why bother?). Everything is
falling apart—even the medical profession was in the news today—apparently it
takes longer and longer to be seen in an ER these days because so many people
don’t have access to a “primary care provider” (translation: regular
doctor)---- hmmmm… sound familiar? I guess I’m one of those. I don’t have a
doctor because my family doctor of 10 years dumped me when we became a
healthier family. Because no one would see me, I ended up in the ER two weeks
ago…. What does that say? And the government is about to take over health care
next.
On top of that, the “government” has
seized all Muslim mosques and properties as well—that ought to make the Muslim
community real happy. It is said that it is only for those with ties to Iran. I
think most, if not all, have some kind of tie (familial) to Iran or the middle
east somewhere. Where does the government think the Muslim religion came from?
It didn’t originate in America! To me, this is paramount with herding all the
Japanese together into internment camps during WWII. Why don’t we just do the
same for people of middle-eastern descent? (Kidding, of course.)
OK, that is my rant for today.
