Nightmare's Blog

This will be my last blog for at least two weeks. I'm going back home to D.C. to settle some issues with my mother's brothers (something about my innocent cousin in jail needing a better lawyer), and the closest thing to a computer in my Grandmother's house is the VCR, so I'll leave with little nagging thought in the back of my mind.

Are we all just hypocrites in this society? Think about this.

 

People fight tooth and nail to have speeding laws enforced, but than when we go to buy a car, we won't buy it if it doesn't go over 100 MPH.

 

We allow stars and actors to walk around doing inappropriate things, but than are surprised when children start acting the same way.

 

Men use the cheesiest pick up lines in the history of the world and are angry when the girl laughs at him. What did they expect? A phone number? (I've done that before. Laughed outloud in his face. Sorry dude, but that was beyond cheesy)

 

Idiots get angry when you look at them like an idiot.

 

In high school you read the Declaration of Independence as you're told, but get into trouble when you point out the part about how good people overthrow a government that doesn't seem fit.

 

People will work hard on a farm so they can move into town where they can make more money so they can move back to the farm.

 

 In the office people talk about baseball, shopping or fishing, but when they are out at the game, the mall or on the lake, they talk about business.

 

Americans are the only people in the world who will pay $.50 to park our car while eating a $.25 sandwhich.

 

This is a country that has more food to eat than any other country in the world and more diets to keep people from eating it.

 

People run from morning to night trying to keep their earning power up with their yearning power.

 

This country is supposed to be the most civilized Christian nation on earth, but still can't deliver payrolls without an armored car.

 

People yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime they have to make the down payment on a car.

This country whips the enemy in battle, then gives them the shirt off their backs.

 

Americans get scared to death if we vote a billion dollars for education, then are unconcerned when they find out they are spending three billion dollars a year for cigarettes.

 

We all know the line-up of every baseball team in the American and National Leagues but don't know half the words in the "Star Spangled Banner".  (For me, it's vice versa I know very little about baseball)

People will spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make them live longer, then drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for lost time.

 

People will tie up their dog while letting their sixteen year old run wild.

 

This country has more experts on marriage than any other country in the world and still have more divorces.

 

Do I really need to go on and on?

 

Do you think we’re hypocrites, or does this list just mean I have way too much time on my hands.  See/write ya in about two weeks.

Here's one more little thing

You encourage your children to ask questions, yet when they ask ones like this, you don't answer them directly.
