America on Feb. 24th, 2011: What's going on in the news?



1. Wisconsin is sending its state troopers in search of its incumbent Democrats who have been HIDING to avoid/ stall a bill in the Wisconsin  law assembly (The law arresting...the law? Hmm...)

2. San Fransisco will see its first snowfall in 35 years (while human global warming is still viewed as fact)

3. Obama sends Hillary Clinton to Lybia for peace talks (after being silent on the issue for nine days)

4. Union protests in major capitals

5. Man fined for impersonating Abe Lincoln in front of the Lincoln Memorial (Reading "the Gettysburg Address" is frowned upon?)

6. Untapped Oil reserves that could power the United States for an estimated 300 years (But cannot be tapped due to strict environmental policy)

7. Why isn't anyone reporting on border issues anymore? (They didn't go away...)

The Law is falling down upon itself in contradiction. America has finally woken up. Things are not what they are, nor what they should be. The world is fighting against ill-will and tyrants. Egypt was the catalyst to the new revolutions of worldwide governments. Libya, Syriaa...who's up next at bat?

Why are we so dependent on foreign oil when we have our own substantial amount? Is it to keep peace, and keep American citizens dependent on their government? Drilling can be done with minimal environmental impact. Habitats will be disturbed: but think about this. They all ready are somewhere else, but we don't think about that because we don't see it. And how about the pollution that goes into the air from transporting oil? We would be doing Nature a favor by becoming self-sufficient. Not to mention new jobs...

Morals, virtue, manners? What are those? What is up this infection of mediocrity that spreads like the flu? No more blame games, self-righteousness, high regulation. Stand accountable in all that you do. Create an example.

First to complain, first to remember

Why do people of 40 years and up complain about conditions of snowy roads when they used to walk to school in worse conditions? Why do these people complain about snowblowing when they used to SHOVEL it all?

Why do young adults complain about the time it takes for retailed food to be prepared, when they used to get home-cooked meals that took an hour to make when they were younger? Why are young adults so quick to complain about current conditions of the world, the home, the society, the morality-- yet do nothing about it (except furthur it)?

Why is it that people do not know what's good until they no longer have it? Why do people complain about going to work, while others seek work?

 
"Funny The Way It Is" - Dave Matthews Band

Lying in the park on a beautiful day Sunshine in the grass and the children playSirens pass and fire engine red Someone's house is burning downOn a day like this And evening comes and were hanging outOn the front step and a car goes By with the windows rolled downAnd that war song is playing Why can't we be friends?Someone is screaming and cryingIn the apartment upstairs ChorusFunny the way it isIf you think about itSomebody's going hungry And someone else is eating outFunny the way it is, not right or wrong Somebody's heart is brokenAnd it becomes your favorite song The way your mouth feelsIn a lovers kissLike a pretty bird on a breeze Or water to a fishA bomb blast brings a buildingCrashing to the floor Hear the laughterWhile the children play warChorusFunny the way it is If you think about itOne kid walks 10 miles to schoolAnother's dropping out Funny the way it is, not right or wrongOn a soldier's last breath His baby is being bornStanding on a bridgeWatch the water passing under me It must have been much harderWhen there was no bridge just water Now the world is smallCompared to how it used to be With mountains and oceans and wintersAnd rivers and starsWatch the sky A jet plane so far out of my reachIs there someone up thereLooking down on me? A boy chase a birdSo close but every timeHe never catch her But he can't stop tryingChorusFunny the way it isIf you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to schoolAnother's dropping out Funny the way it is, not right or wrongOn a soldier's last breath His baby's being bornFunny the way it isNot right or wrong Somebody's broken heartBecomes your favorite songFunny the way it is If you think about itOne kid walks 10 miles to schoolAnother's dropping out Standing on a bridgeWatch the water passing under me It must have been much harderWhen there was no bridge just water Now the world is smallCompared to how it used to be With mountains and oceans and wintersAnd rivers and stars
