Not what I'm thinking about.

Recently I’ve been having some moments of clarity
The questions coming in at the right time as I ponder things

Then the truth in some of these things is less than thrilling.
I begin to wonder why does this happen?

I was teaching my class last night and part of material covers the loss of the American Dream and it not being something that many people can see as a reality or a realistic goal any longer.

As this relates to delinquency if you populous no longer see the value in abiding by rules that will only serve to keep them from prosperity then there is no need to adhere to those rules. Disillusioned, disenfranchised, discontented and then the system no longer works.

People go to work but they don’t perform
They are waiting for the axe to fall
They see CEO’s steal the retirements of thousands of workers and while they go to jail. These workers who have given their lives not essentially in reality to EARN these rewards are told by the system we are sorry it is tragic but there is nothing we can do to help you.

Are you kidding? No

Then company after company cuts benefits for the workers and greed allows for a few to prosper and many to give their lives for another person gain.

This isn’t the agreement that we the people signed on for or are socialized to believe and told hard work pays off … it does not.

You can be anything you want to be… you can not. Congratulations to Mr. Obama for defying the odds however this isn’t a reality for most of the people.

We should be happier with less. In deed we should be and many people do find happiness with less and do not need to flaunt things.

However, when a company says yes if your procedure had been done in this building, rather than the one you had the procedure performed in then it would be covers. That is greed. Because if the procedure is covered by insurance then it should not matter who does it or where it is done. But both of those are factors in how our medical insurance looks at things.

WTF?

You can’t expect people to have faith that a system which does not look to protect its own will have people willing to make the hard choices and sacrifices. They will after pushed to a point rebel.

We should look at our own history.

The crown pushed we took it.
The crown pushed further we took it.
The crown pushed further still we took it.
The crown pushed when times were tough … we didn’t take it, couldn’t take it, stood up and said no more.

Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it.


Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
