In my way of thinking, a huge part of America's economic problems today stem from uneducated "jerks" like me, who not only have access to a computer, but have learned to express their views by "typing" with BOTH "index" fingers and pushing the "post" button. Clearly, if I have the time to publish a "blog" every Sunday morning, I could find a better use for my time, such as a "part-time" job, or raising National awareness on the dangers of soybean rust, or maybe even going to church with my good wife. The problem is that I don't WANT to do any of these things. I work six days a week as it is, and my traditional Sunday policy is to drink huge quantities of "red" beers and push the buttons on the television remote, which is what I believe takes sole responsibility for my "cheery" attitude every Monday morning at work. Plus I have no "real" financial woes that would be considered severe enough to force me to change my lifestyle, unlike country music singer Toby Kieth, who apparently is so desperate for money that he recently released an entire song about a plastic drinking cup, and people are actually BUYING it! Not that I'm being sarcastic, because clearly this is a GOOD thing! At least for Toby Kieth. I just can't understand how such a large number of people in the United States haven't found a way to make money enough to support themselves, and would rather live their lives through the constrictions of government programs than to try and earn their living through their OWN song about a Red Solo Cup, or even a Dixie cup for that matter. Personally, I don't buy into all this crap about there being no jobs available for the people who are drawing welfare or unemployment. I don't believe that if you are truly searching for gainful employment, it can't be found. I think that it's more a matter of we have a huge chunk of people who have been getting things provided to them for free for so long that they no longer have the desire to do anything different! Sort of like me, and my Sunday ritual involving red beers. I don't understand how people who have no jobs can still afford to spend countless hours each day punching computer keys with their index fingers, like I'm doing now. I've also noticed that these types of people are extremely quick to complain about their financial situations too, even though when offered an actual "job", they tend to look at you as though you'd just just handed them a warm cup of tobacco spit, or a urine sample. Many of these people are lucky enough to have the time to go to "occupy" protests around the Nation, wherein they can spend their time protesting against the corporations which are making money and providing jobs for Americans, rather than actually cleaning up a little and going inside to request a job application form. I have a hard time imagining why citizens of an Independent Nation such as ours would ever WANT to be dependent on anybody else, but there are those who feel comfortable that way. I guess I should say something really "witty" right now, maybe like "to each his own", but I'm not one to support something I don't believe in. My dad made me work for everything I had when I was a kid, and I pulled the same stunt on my own kid's. So far, it's worked out quite well. I'm kind of proud. Still, I have little intention of spending my Sunday mornings doing anything other than drinking red beer and poking at these computer keys. After all, it's not like I'm dependent on YOU!
Have a great week Friends! God Bless! And remember that only YOU can control the outcome of your life!
