WILL AMERICA EVER GET REAL?
5/24/12

This is not intended for criticism, this is not intended to hurt peoples feelings, this is just to open your eyes to reality and hopefully someday get to someone with enough power to do something about it.
Please read ALL before judging and USE YOUR BRAIN WHEN YOU READ THIS.

Everyday I’m seeing crazier and crazier things happening in the news, but nothing is being done about it in this supposed land of the free. A country where people work their butts off just to pay POLITICIANS to sit on theirs. Instead of making tax cuts and raising prices for the middleclass and lowerclass families how about cutting the politicians pay? Let them experience what we do and then maybe the decisions made will be a little more generous rather than selfish. I think it’s ridiculous and nobody thinks anything about it. It’s because we are brainwashed by all the advertisements, music, and tv shows. If you ask any other country their opinion on America they will give you a REAL one. It isn’t just jealousy either. They see all the movie stars and expect us to all be that way, but once they get down to the facts, we are a country full of obesity, drug addiction, and crime. The criticism in this country is ridiculous as well. The High school test scores are as low as third world country test scores now days with few over-achievers. What will happen if this all isn’t stopped. A sad day, a pore day, and a broken country.
A few days ago I read an article where this little six year old girl was left out of her school pictures because her hair was not proper. That’s pathetic and completely unfair. What was done about this? Well, nothing at all, I think the law should have made them take her picture with the hair she wanted, as long as it wasn’t foul I see no reason why not? School dress code is worthless except for anti drug code and such things that are inappropriate I DO AGREE, but this little girl was just trying to look cute for her pictures. It made me sick that they didn‘t allow it. Why don’t they stop wasting there times trying to make little kids lives worthless and instead try to erase the problems that actually MATTER. Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, murder, etc…..
In the last couple days how many people have died due to drunk driving? WAY TO MANY. What was done about this? Burial service… Jailing one of the thousands that drink and drive everyday. He’ll be back out on the street in no time drinking another beer and probably driving another vehicle. Even if he has a DUI so what? What’s that going to do? Nothing until he drives again and gets caught with another lifeless body lying a few feet away from him. But oh well more money going to the government.
THE ONLY SOLUTION TO SLOWING DOWN THE FAST DRIVING DRUNKS is to criminalize alcohol FOR ALL, is it right that one is allowed to drink but the other is not? Is it right that somebody can join the military and die at age 19 but he can’t even drink a beer? I agree it’s pretty childish America isn’t adult enough to stop drinking and driving but look how many childish so called adults there are. How many people can actually say they’ve never drank and drove without lying? NOT EVEN CLOSE TO ENOUGH. People close to us that we love dearly are going to keep dying. My grandmother was killed a couple years ago due to a drunk driver, pretty sad something that kills so many people is still on the market in a country that is supposed to be “for the people.”

“But what about the people who drink responsively?” Easy answer… If you drink you can’t be responsible. The only way to assure responsibility when drinking is to be locked in your house with no kids, no keys, and a legal limit worth of alcohol. Even then I’m not so sure if that is considered being responsible, that’s kind of a joke to me. I myself do not drink, I do not smoke. I grew up and quit at age 18 having only drank a few times since then. What is it going to take to rid of this? More aggressive police work with road blocks every two miles? or Illegalization of alcohol? Neither may completely get rid of it but I can GUARANTEE it would put a huge dent in the death toll.
WHY HASN”T ANYTHING BEEN DONE? Money…. Money… Money… the greed is all that matters in this world. Without the stupidity of people how would the governments make as much money… they wouldn’t. They get paid taxes for everything, you have to pay them just to MAKE A LIVING. Pretty pathetic and I would be against it if we didn’t get a percentage of our taxes back, it’s kind of like a savings account in my eyes but still kind of pathetic. I believe if they aren’t for the money they should rid of alcohol or find some way to control it because all the stupidity and losses of family members due to this is just absurd. If they don’t take care of it soon its just going to keep happening until somebody does something horrific. Hope people read this and get the message behind it instead of just trying to be critical because I don’t care about opinions this is just the truth.
