$$$ The American Dream: Where has it gone?

Discussion at work:

The amount of dollars spent so far in this fruitless war could feed every American here in the states for 20 years and 1/2 children alive in the states would be able to go to college for free. We borrowed money from the World Bank and Kuwait now owns those loans. Sad but true.

  • What has happened to our proud nation?
  • Where are we going with this war?
  • What is the future of Iraq?
  • What is the future for America?
  • What is the the future for our children?

We are handing to them on a unfathomable debt upon an ornate silver platter a debt which will take generations to pay off. Gas prices on the rise yet again. Paying $3.29 a gallon, wages not increasing to keep up with the economic downturn, people foreclosing on their homes due to the lagging housing market. I wish we as Americans can unite in one voice and demand Washington...this administration to clean up their act but perhaps since we are not people in power our voices are silenced. I am so tired of how my country has become a whipping boy of the world. Tasteless jokes, bad government/business decisions, a losing war, dead soldiers whose families grieve their loss every day, Iraqis dying in droves over what?

I know this post is sad but also a wake up call. Americans need to come together and make a change and we can....with the upcoming elections in November you have to voice your opinion. If not we may have more of the same. I think Obama can...I want a fresh man like him in the White House. What has seasoned politicians done so far for us. For the US of A? Look where we are economically and politically. Our businesses, our homes, our families, our very existence is so dependent on DC. Our international reputation is a joke. I know some people out there believe voting is a waste of time but I honestly do not.

Make a difference.

WHERE are our priorities?

Webhosting


Though I do love eblogger sooner or later I will buy a domain name and create my very own .com blog. I want totally control of my site and earning power....yes...capitalism at its very best. Mostly creativity control. Until I glean all the info I can regarding the start up of my own site I will continue to blog in this format.
I do thank my faithful readers and anyone who stops by insofar as this site is still running and to those who visited me on wordpress. :^)

Marriage and Commitment

Again I loved how Jeff put this in the discussion we are still having regarding Catholic marriage (I am a firm believer that when married you try 200% to keep that marriage intact):

You are allowed to promise a lifetime commitment.But once you promise and God does His work, you cannot pretend that you didn't make it.The point is simply that you are free to promise. But if you are forced to promise or you are in a position where you promise is meaningless, then you aren't bound.I find that kind of complete commitment very freeing. And it seems to me that it's part of love to say, "I will be yours no matter what."You are free of worry about what your course should be. You have made your decision and you know where you future is: With your spouse.Didn't work well? Try harder!

Floating down the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers


I practically floated all the way to work today taking I170. Rain rain and more rain. On the positive side my car is getting a good wash...free of charge.

With the flooding we have already had here especially in the Fenton area and places like Popular Bluff which is more south I wonder if this will let up??? (According to our forecast not anytime soon):
Flash Flood Watch for the southern half of the viewing area...including Phelps, Dent, Iron, Madison, Crawford, Washington, Jefferson, St. Francois, Reynolds and Ste. Genevieve counties in Missouri and Bond, Clinton, Washington, St. Clair, Monroe, Randolph, Perry, Jefferson, Fayette and Marion counties in Illinois from late Wednesday night through Friday Morning...
Tonight: Increasing clouds with the chance for showers and thunderstorms especially south of I-70 after midnight. Lows in the low to mid 40s.
Thursday: Mostly cloudy with periods of showers and thunderstorms likely. (Can I hang myself now?) Highs in the mid 50s.
Friday: Showers ending early, then slow clearing. (Hallelujah maybe a good chance for a decent weekend). Highs in the mid 50s.
Saturday: Partly cloudy. (Crap) Highs in the mid 60s.
Sunday: Partly sunny (sun what is the sun?) with the chance for showers by evening (double crap)... mid to upper 60s.
Monday: Partly sunny with evening showers possible (ah well...)... mid 60s.Monday: Partly cloudy. Highs near 60.
Can always count on May to bring beautiful flowers.
