Conclusion

I am so sick of seeing product instructions in multiple languages. Half the time I can't ever find the English stuff to see how my product works. I am sick of seeing road signs in Spanish. I am sick of hearing "English or Spanish?" when I call the utility company. I am sick of hearing my hardware store make sale announcements in two languages while I am shopping. I am sick and tired of all this bulls**t! Just when did we become so stupid? Why are we kissing the butts of people who don't even belong here? Am I the only American who is sick of this?

As you can tell by now, I'm not too tickled with the legal system. The whole system has problems from the major cases to things as simple as a divorce case. That one just kills me. Fault, no fault - how about you settle it yourself and go your own way. You got yourself into this thing called marriage - get yourself out of it, if you wish. The rule has to be an equal split! I don't care who brought what into the marriage and how much one party accumulated during the marriage be it money or material things. A marriage is a fifty-fifty deal, period. If you don't like the fifty-fifty rule, don't get married. And I will not even entertain the prenuptial thing. A marriage license is not a business contract. How tough can this be?

Just who are these people, and who said they could have so much power? Here is another "system" that has run amuck. I'm not the smartest guy in the world and I won't pretend to understand the insurance industry, but I do pay insurance and I do see how they operate, and I am sick of them!

I live in the United States and I am part of the public, where's my aid? Is no one looking out for my welfare? Every now and then I could use a little help. Just because I worked all my life that doesn't mean that I didn't, and don't, have any money problems. I do like the idea of giving people a hand who have been unfortunate enough to have problems like physical or mental handicaps, serious injuries or illnesses, or just flat out can't make ends meet for whatever reason, but I expect something in return -no free lunch! I say, if you are breathing you can do something to earn your aid or welfare check.

If the Social Security system had been operated in the manner designed there would be no problem. Somehow a good system has been butchered to a point where it is almost exhausted. How could this happen? How could all the money invested in the system, just be gone? Where has my money gone? The key word here is "my" money - and your money.

Let's start with the school kids and their parents. I say, if you are a parent and have a child, your child must go to a "Public" school. Private school systems are bulls**t. I don't care what they say they can do for your kid, the bottom line is that they are money making enterprises that thrive on the fact that the "Public" school system sucks.

I want to find the guy who invented "blacktop" and hang him. What exactly is that stuff? It looks great and rides very smooth. It doesn't really crack; it just blows up and flies out in chunks! Our answer to that problem is "patching"- putting more crap on top of the other crap!

Let's pull our machines and components back within our borders and start building good quality, safe products again. Let's make U.S. built products the standard for the world. Let them come to us for quality products. At this point in my dissertation I usually here about our automobile industry. To be very honest, our auto manufacturers did screw up years ago when they looked at high profits and the quick buck in lieu of good quality products. The Japanese took advantage of our shortsighted greed and kicked our butts at our own game

GROW UP! I am so sick of hearing professional, paid athletes whine and cry over just about everything. I hate seeing guys who have "life by the ass" screw up with the law and ruin their lives. I just come unglued when players ride the bench because they have things like "turf toe" or muscle pain. C'mon, you're playing a physical activity - you're gonna' get hurt now and then. As Payton Manning said in a recent commercial, "Rub some dirt on it", get back in the game!

If you think credit cards are a good thing I would like you to write down a list of their benefits and I'll make a list of the disadvantages - I'll bet my list is longer. Just think about all the things they have brought us like uncontrolled personal spending, unpayable personal debt, bankruptcies beyond anything ever imagined, fraud, identity theft, kiting (moving money from account to account without ever having any money), legal extortion, etc. You can talk all you want about convenience but you can't justify the convenience over the misery caused by these cards.

Here's another one of those wonderful things that we just can't imagine living without - kinda' like a credit card. I just can't understand how we survived in the past without being able to talk to our friends while driving, shopping or trimming our toenails.

Let's think things out and make sure the changes we make are really effective. Some of our decisions in the past weren't so darn awful good. All the movie stars and celebrities can now go back to what they do best - entertain us. Stay the hell out of politics and fighting for the environment - you really suck at it - and some of you ain't so good at keeping us entertained either.

Just because my friends won't share the secret to always winning doesn't mean that I won't share my secret for always losing. First, drink a lot of that free alcohol, then sit at one machine and drop every nickel you have in it just because you know it will hit eventually. That's it in a nut shell - works every time.
