"It Ain't Fair"

I think that the biggest problem facing America today is our inability to "communicate" with each other. It's not that we don't have the "means" to communicate, what with all the new technology, such as the internet, cell phones, text messaging, and sky-writing, but more because nobody has the slightest clue what anybody else is trying to say anymore! This likely all started back in the eighties, when the good people at "Webster" decided to include many of our American "slang" words into their dictionary, like "ain't", "can't", and "democrat". I'm not trying to specifically place the blame on Webster's dictionary by itself, but I believe they played a huge role in our lack of communicable skills today. And it's only getting WORSE! I can remember LOT'S of times wherein I would speak my mind in a post on "facebook", only to receive an unintelligible reply from one of my friends, such as "ROFLMAO", or "LMAO", or even "LOL". I find this extremely disturbing, because my name is "RANY", and I have no earthly clue who these other guys are! Judging from their names, I'd have to guess that they are Italian. Or maybe French. Also, I get an "OMG" on occasion, but I'm safely assuming that that's a Greek name.
Even our own government appears to be confused by American "slang" language! Take the 2nd Amendment, for instance, wherein the founding fathers had agreed that the "right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"! Because of poor communication skills, our government, (by which I mean Democrats and a handful of supreme court justices), have taken this to mean that the government SHOULD infringe on the rights of it's citizens, and spend every minute of their "free" time attempting to ban guns in the United States, then send them to Mexico via government "Help" programs, such as "Fast and Furious"!

Another example would be when former President Bush "senior", while running for election, stated that there would be "no new taxes", and then inundated the country with bales of new taxes after the election. Turns out he was just joking around.

President Obama, after learning that the majority of the American people wanted less government interference in their lives, and that we "working-class" citizens would be plenty happy to just provide for our own selves and families, yet didn't wish to take on the responsibilities of paying for the illegal immigrants and those who were just plain "too lazy to work", immediately introduced what we call "Obama-care", giving most of us the opportunity to pay for the "deadbeats" first, then worry about our own families at a later date. It's not as if he left us with no way out though, because if the job market was good, we could all take "second jobs" in order to help pay, ensuring that these people's lives would be largely unaffected, and that the deadbeats who have never worked at all are now able to sue companies and corporations who refuse to "hire" them for that very fact. With any luck, us taxpayers will be able to pay for not only the lawyers of the deadbeats, but hopefully for the losses of whoever is actually being "sued", as well!

I believe that the only way to fix our problems is to "sort through" our education system and force all of our teachers to teach only proper "English", and no more "slang"! Maybe then our elected officials would be able to understand exactly what it is that we're trying to tell them! Maybe then we would all be able to communicate with each other again. Maybe. But who knows? The only thing I know for sure is that out of all the citizens "polled" in this particular household, one hundred percent of them agreed that we all "take care of our own", and that anything else just "ain't" fair.
Have a great weekend, my "working" Friends! And may God Bless!
