Our Kids...
The lazy video game society that have become grossly over weight and take no accountability for their actions. These are our children.
Today's kids accept no responsibility and would rather BLOG then write a letter. They would rather play a video game than a sport. They would rather eat a pizza when they have the munchies than grab an apple. Most are pampered to and have no sense of money or the value of it. They blame others for their actions even when illegal.
With their heads plugged into Ipods and MP3 players, they have no connection to the real world or the news that runs through it. In China, almost any child you ask can list the first five American Presidents. Can you? Can your kids?
Fun Fact: By the age of 13 most children have smoked pot, cigeretts, and/or have consumed alcohol and usually have had sexual intercourse more than once.
Isn't it time we teach our children some responsibility before they become morally and irreversably bankrupt?

Our Elderly...
The founders of our families. They have worked their whole lives only to struggle in retirement. Most live off less than $1000.00 per month only to run out of money at the end of the month.
Our Grandparents sit in "retirement communities" where they are ignored by their family, until they become sick.
Our Elderly preach how things were better in their day, yet have the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.
They hate change, but after a lifetime of haveing to addapt to a rough society, who can blame them. So often our elderly feel like "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" and that they are too old to learn about computers and other new technologies, but they get up set because they havent seen new pictures of family or talked to them in months. They will tell you that they are "too old for that" and usually give you their age as an excuse, even if you never asked. If they only knew of the modern marvels of email and JPG pics. Everything is digital and our elderly citizens are too set in their ways, feeling like we owe it to them to adapt rather than adapt themselves. Maybe we do.

The "Working" Class...
There is a cult of ignorance that drives today's society. People are afraid to believe in themselves. They think that they are not smart enough or good enough to succeed at anything that they try to do in life. This is the ignorance that corrupts the American public. The generations before us were unafraid. They were not afraid to dream. Not afraid to take chances. Not afraid to fail.
So we sit at our medial jobs making minimum wage and thinking we'll never become anything more.
NEWS FLASH:
WE WON'T BECOME ANYTHING MORE IF WE DO NOT TAKE CHANCES.
Though the general state of education in America is no where near where it needs to be, every American has the chance to go to college to better themselves. We cannot sit by and wait for society to change for us. We must take matters into our own hands and make the change happen.
LACK OF JOBS?
There is no lack of jobs in America. There is only a lack of jobs that we are willing to do. There is a reason that immigrants are willing to risk their life for a chance for a future here. American business is looking for American citizens to work in the factories. To work in the restraunts. To work in construction. The gerneral American public is just to lazy to do the jobs that are out there.
BOTTOM LINE:
If you want a good paying job, be willing to work for it. If that means persuing a deeper education or willing to work harder, you must be willing to step up. You get what you give.
