RANDOM THOUGHTS 6

I will not be convinced that the economy is in such terrible shape until I turn on an NFL/NBA/NHL game on TV and see the stands empty. 
I believe that technology will eventually destroy us.  Perhaps not by a world ending explosion or man made catastrophe but rather, by destroying our initiative, drive, and ability to think on our own.
I don't have much faith in the American public education system.  
I believe we have not had a world class public education system in this country for a long time.
I believe the main cause of decline in America is the erosion of the family.
I feel that political correctness is helping to ruin our country.
I am angry that lobbyists are controlling our government and that many politicians are corrupt to some extent.
I feel like I'm participating in a country that is in decline and is willing to look the other way while it is happening.
I'm not happy with myself for being this negative but, it's hard not to be when you are paying attention.
I miss the days of blissful ignorance!

RANDOM THOUGHTS (NUMBER FIVE)

(1) I can't figure out how any sane caring American can be in favor of continuing our uncontrolled spending.  Of course the key words here are "sane" and "caring."   If we break down our disagreements on issues to simply, "common sense" solutions, then this one is a no-brainer.  
(2) Why is it that some of the worst kind of people we know, also claim to be the most religious?  They show up in church every Sunday appearing very pious, then drive home flipping off someone who drives too slowly.
(3)  What does it say about our country when people like Charlie Sheen are honored and held in high regard, while those that die for their country are forgotten?  
(4)  Is it possible to walk in any public area for more than 60 seconds and not see someone walking and talking on a cell phone?    
(4)  What are the chances that the first ten minutes of the local evening news won't be filled with stories of the crimes committed by blacks?  This trend is quite sickening and yet if someone points it out then they must be racist.  It would really help stop a lot of the stereotyping if this crap would stop already.  
(5)  How long till our government realizes the War on Drugs is killing more people than the drugs themselves and consider legalizing them?
(6)  I'm hopeful the events in Japan don't spell the death knell for nuclear energy.  It will most certainly be under attack now more than ever.  If anything the world should come out of this mess, more aware of how better to secure these facilities and prevent what is happening in Japan today, from ever happening again.
