So articulate, and intelligent, and rational, and analytical...
As I observe our president, and I see the Republicans sitting there, with their fat wallets, and their fat bellies, and their smug smiles, my pulse races.
America is becoming a paper tiger. An American education is a joke, health care is an oxymoron, and all the younger generations care about are materialism, sex and vanity (and many from other generations, too), and many of these loath, or at the very least, 'can do without,' their elders. Too many teens today are mean spirited, shallow, and lazy. I have never observed a population with such a false sense of entitlement and egocentrism.
And we just sit there and watch the country turn to shambles, numbed by the panacea of the Internet, iPods, cell phones, and reality TV. Lulled into a false sense of togetherness and belonging, made possible by the virtual world they deceive themselves into thinking they LIVE in. Kindness and consideration has become a commodity used to get what one wants, rather than fundamental, common brotherhood.
nuff said.
