When you get to pay closer attention to current events, news, etc, I think it can be a problem for your mind and morale. The media obviously focus on sensational, but negative news. People who do genuinely great things rarely get more than a few moments notice. It's the nature of the beast. These are just a few of the things I've assessed based on the news, discussion and editorials I've been exposed to lately.
People who can do whatever they want:
- Professional athletes. If they decide to cheat, they might lose prestige, social status etc. But they will make countless millions of dollars in the process, and that is all that really matters to them.
- New York tri-state drivers. The roads, particularly within the five boros of NY City, are yours for the taking. People speed with impugnity, motorcyclists can do what they want, law enforcement on the highways there is practically non-existent. People run over pedestrians and don't stop. They don't have to because no one cares.
- Illegal immigrants. This country is yours for the taking. NY State's Governor Eliot Spitzer, for one, is doing everything in his power to make illegal immigration the way to go. He wants to provide them with driver's licenses and medical coverage that is better than that offered to legal citizens, and NY taxpayers will be footing the bill for anything the Federal government doesn't pay for. Don't bother with the legal process. Life is much better for you if you do it the dirty way.
- Enemies of the State. If you hate the US and want to do harmful things to its citizens, don't worry. The PC Police have now made the rights of such people much more important than the rights of any American citizen who might be injured or killed by the actions of any of our enemies. If you are an enemy of this country, your biggest allies are right here within our borders.
- Hillary Clinton...nuff said.
Oh jimmy, you pushed some of my hot buttons ;-)
ReplyDeleteIllegal immigration is a JOKE! Drives me nuts that they are qualifying for benefits AND getting away with murder, literally. It's a sad day when honest law-abiding citizens have fewer rights than those that break the law.....and our country doesn't protect us against them.
We need to get away from the PC crap and get down to business.
You hit it on the nail with every single one of them. Here's a little something to give you a smile. While visiting an indian reservation Hillary Clinton vowed to take on their plight and make sure they ended up with health benefits, proper housing, and more reservation police. The elders bestowed on her, her own indian name. The name was Walking Eagle. When the press asked what the name stood for, they where told A bird so full of shit it can't fly. True story!
