Americans are facing a huge crisis....the economy. Most people are unsure of where we are going as a nation. There has been talk about socialism, communism and fascism. How is one able to digest all of this without wanting to throw it back up?
We the People are responsible for each other. When there is a natural disaster people show that they do care about their fellow man but when it comes to money it seems to be "every man for himself". This attitude has got to stop. We need to be charitable to help neighbors, friends and family but we need to do it on our own terms and not told by the government that we have to be charitable. We need to have compassion and help one another out before the government does it for us.
So many people are looking to the government to bail them out of their mortgages, their debt, their lives. What they fail to see is that we make our own decisions and whether they are good decisions or bad we must live with them. We do not want the government bailing us out and telling us from then on how to live our lives.
Wake up America or the government will be a bigger part of your life then you realize.

Universal Health Care or Numbering System?
What do people fail to realize about Universal Health Care?
It is NOT free. Despite all the reports, movies and whatever else you may have seen, it is NOT free. How do you pay for it? Taxes.
Not only will you be paying for yourself and your family to get heath care but you will be paying for everyone else in the country. So even if you rarely go to a doctor's office you will still be paying.
Did you also know that you will become a number? Sure you may be able to see the same doctor (if you are lucky after several hours of waiting) but when you schedule a surgery you
will be put on a list, along with anyone else in your area who needs the same surgery and will be told how long you have to wait to get the operation you need. And don't think you can
buy your way to the top of the list because unless you have loads of money,that is not going to happen.
Not only will you become a number, but who is to say that you will have a clinic in your immediate area that handles your specific operation? You may have to prepare yourself, not only for the wait of a month or more but a three hour drive to the nearest hospital that actually accommodates your specific condition.
Universal healthcare? More like a Universal Numbering System that accomodates the government.

Both sides of education
Why can't teachers teach both sides of a point of view? Instead of having just a solar panel manufacturer come and talk to kids about "green living" why can't they invite the power company also?
What is with the one sided point of views?
Should we tolerate a bit of one sided opinion in the classroom since there is only one teacher with one opinion? Or should we stand up and say "hold on here!" these are not my beliefs! We do not teach just one side to our children. We tell them the facts and let them decide if they think we are right or wrong. That is the beauty of being human. You have a mind and can use it to understand how you feel about issues.
Most will argue that parents push their point of views on children all the time. Even if this is true, they are our children and we have a right to raise them as we see fit. Not by how some liberal minded, government will get you out of everything, teacher thinks.
No wonder there has been a record numbers of moms and dads out there choosing to home school their children.

SCREAM at the government
Watching the news is just frustrating. There are republicans, democrats, those that claim they have no allegiance and the outright liars. If you are sick and tired of democrats and republicans going at each other in the media then SCREAM with me!
Every year it gets worse. The right wingers, the left wingers and those in between.
What in the world is the government thinking?
Whether they are republicans ripping the stimulus plan to bits or democrats trying to add more pointless spending to it, it is all enough to make you....you guessed it.....SCREAM!
It seems no one has the answers and the American people are the ones who are suffering with this government (democrats and republicans alike) acting like a bunch of spoiled children who don't get enough allowance, whether it be money or power. It's about time the people stand up and start to SCREAM at the government. Make our voices heard and not ask for them to hear us but insist that they do.
