What's that, huh?

Yeah sure I like to enjoy life as much as the next average guy but did you know that our America is in the middle of a huge crisis as a nation. The elected representatives of the people think by giving 2 trillion to the banks the people would benefit by these institutions, who in turn after receiving our money, would give that money to the people...what idiot thought that up??? Also those wacky representatives  think that by giving billions, that we don't have,  to other countries we will be once again be saved financially here. Another idiot solution!
Next we have our government setting standards for size and shape of people, like we all fit the same mold and can all be the 'brother hood of traveling pants' or some science project. Who are these idiots?  And yet again these poor dolts in office consider the drilling for oil to be taboo but don't really allow any real ideas from private citizens to take wing, they smash these moments of brilliance like a bug at the urging of the oil companies, whose side are these idiots on?
And my last soap box of the day, whats wrong with being proud of my country? When Mexico wins a soccer match don't the people wave flags and cheer for their countrymen? When the tour of Italy, France and Spain is underway isn't their a show of patriotism and cheering the home town boy evident in the photos and on TV? Then what is wrong with me being glad to be an American? I have traveled in Europe, Japan, Canada and the like but I'm always glad to come home.  I do love the Japanese culture for theirs is one of service and  strength in humility, but coming home to the US is still, well, home.

 I like the US the way it is. A nation with one goal: unity in the achievement of helping each other to realize our individual goals. Togetherness in the defense of each others rights to the 'pursuit of happiness', not a guarantee but the opportunity! To be a member of this club you have to want others to achieve their goals and be there to help without sacrificing you own stability. In other words not a hand out but a hand up. That's my America!
I 'm going to leave you with a quote from Lance Armstrong and I feel the spirit is appropriate here,"...You play by the rules, you have the highest ethics, you  F _ _ king win the bike races, then you shut up. I think that's best."
 Remember if I pass you on the road stop at Peets, because your buying.
