Why is Sarah Palin in...

The country's mood and culture has changed. The principles of self accountability and responsibility have faded, replaced with a "what's in it for me" attitude. It's hard for me to accept, but it's here Good points all, but this is the nexis point. People have become very self-centered and all it's associationed complications. Personally, I think it's a lack of vision - we've become a society that looks inward and not outward. We've lost that unique sense of individualism. On the other hand, it also proves a point that I've been making for years - as America goes, so does the world. What affects us, affects every human being on the face of the planet. And here's another thought along the same lines - the generation that is following us has never had a serious economic downturn - they don't understand the historical imperative that normal economic fluctuations happen. They've had it too good for too long and now that economic realities have overrun their expectations, panic rules the day. They are now realising that not everybody can own a 40 foot boat, a Lexus and a 10,000 sq. ft house. Now they are leaning that TANSTAAFL is a very real concept and they don't like it. Me? Hey, I'm fine - we will be fine - my kids were taught early to take responsibility for their own economic futures, they will be fine. I took responsibility to make it that way and followed through. Those of us who understand the TANSTAAFL concept will be fine - everybody else will experience pain and economic dislocation. It's the way the system works. And with that, I will now submit to the demands of Percocet and take a nap. :) |
