It seems every day I become a little angrier. Incidents
compound themselves and never seem to come to a justifiable conclusion. I
watch, in amazement, the idiotic actions of our country’s leaders and other
influential and supposedly educated people. I ponder their reasons for such
actions and decisions that affect so many lives and I sometimes believe they
must live in a different dimension than I do. I have even gotten to the point
that I almost believed that something must be wrong with me because “I just
don’t get it."
North Carolina just passed a law making it mandatory to
allow illegal immigrants into their colleges. What part of illegal don’t they
understand? I just don’t get it. I live in South Carolina and have an 8-year-old daughter.
The school buses are so disruptive and filled with violence that we decided to
spend several hours driving her back and forth to school 15 miles away. They
are raising school taxes for new buses that we refuse to use, as do many others
here. Why not place monitors on the busses so the behaved children can ride in
safety? They are aware of the problems. I just don’t get it. This year my homeowners insurance rose 400%. I have never
made a homeowners claim. The insurance company I use has boasted profits in the
billions. Why is there no regulation on their profits, or discounts for never
claiming? I’m sure many lobbyists and politicians are reaping nice profits from
their stocks as they rape Middle America. How much profit does a company need
to make? I just don’t get it. Lets look at the gas companies. Their profits are through
the roof, almost unimaginable. The price, at times, has almost crippled our
country yet; the government does nothing for price gouging. I suppose there
must be some pretty healthy stock dividends going into some ones pocket. I
just don’t get it. Lets talk the prison system. Cable TV, weight rooms, movies,
heat and a/c, free medical and dental, lawsuits entertained by the courts against
them, early parole for pedophiles, and special treatment for celebrities. I
just don’t get it. Welfare. Who the hell figured that one out? Now there is a
racket for sure. I really don’t get that. Why in the world would someone want to take the morality of
religion from our government and judicial system? That’s the ideology that our
country was founded on. Geez, I just don’t get it. Do you know a retired person, who has worked all their lives
and paid taxes only to end up not being able to afford their life sustaining
medication or even decent food? Am I missing something here? I just don’t
get it. Here’s another: the banks, the mortgage companies and the
credit card companies. Their motto must have been modeled from the Vikings but
with a twist, “ lets pass on the pillaging and plundering and get right to the
raping." Let’s over charge the poor and make sure we put them in enough debt to
bury them. What a great business plan, I guess, but: I just don’t get it. Why is it when I pay my car payment, I pay $15.00 on the
principle and $300.00 on the interest so that when I go to trade it in, I’m so
far in the hole, I owe more than its worth. Oh! Wait a minute, now I got it.
Now the finance company can carry over the remainder on to my new car and do the
same thing over and over and over. Hummmm…very clever! Why is that legal? You
know, they don’t even kiss me when the deal is done. I just don’t get it. Why don’t you have to use photo ID when you use a credit
card. Wouldn’t that stop a lot of credit card fraud? Duhhh! I just don’t get it. Why is it that when a Kangaroo, in Australia, breaks wind,
the price of oil in Saudia Arabia goes up? I just don’t get it. Lord, now I’m just rambling and it’s gotta end, but I
still don’t get it and I guess I never will. |
