horrible of wars, but in our everyday life.
We do not take care of our own citizens yet we send aid all over the world. Children here need food and we send aid to countries where aid is not needed.
We need medical care for all our citizens yet we send that care elsewhere and let our own people die from lack of same.
We need jobs so men and women can care for themselves and their families yet we have no jobs. We gave those jobs to third world countries so that some of us could live in better houses or drive better cars.
Couture clothing sale at our most fashionable stores, 20% off a $2000.00 skirt, while we have lines of people using their vouchers at the Salvation Army for a pair of affordable jeans.
In our workplaces, things go on that defy understanding, the old work ethic of '-do-the-job, get paid' has turned into a case of 'do-as-little-as-you-can and get paid'.
Small transgressions are blown into lawsuits and large Enron type activities are overlooked or underplayed. The bigger your wallet, the better your lawyer, the better your chances.
Small human mistakes are turned into life shattering events while major things like the unacceptable goings-on in Washington continue as usual.
I feel that, at age 65, I am glad my generation does not have to face what you younger people do. I give you my best wishes and my sympathy at the same time.
