Hello America.....

Well, how the heck are you? Americans, are experiencing so many things these days. There’s the junk food, that’s being pushed on us. Each morsel is so packed with, fat, additives, sugar and everything that’s bad for us. The advertising that captures our children, causes them to think, they just can’t live without a “Happy Meal“. The weather that’s tearing things apart or freezing people to death. Just look at the earth quake that recently happened. The Northwest is experiencing more snow and rain, on top of what’s already been there two weeks. Leaving people without electricity, needed in the all electric homes. The electronic’s that just have to be bought. Nano I-Pods, Wii’s, X-Box 360’s, fancy cell phones, Bravia TV’s, just to mention a few. Remember when we didn’t even have cell phones? Disasters one after another, to all parts of the world, which encompass our families, abroad. Wars; Wars; and more wars, it never ends, no matter how hard we beg for peace. Our government leaders, all trying to out do the other, while saying “they are the best” for the positions. I have yet to see or believe in a politician, that runs for an office these days, who is free of any corruption. The moral issues our children are learning, which are giving the idea, that anything goes. This is our future? What can you expect from a generation, that constantly changes, the very ideas, our people were raised on. Where is virtue, consideration, decency, respect? These few things, are all but lost, to this new generation of growing children. The crime rate is growing, with each day. Every morning there are deaths, rapes, beatings, stabbings, shootings or robberies being reported on the News. Not to mention the drunk drivers who cause accidents and loss of lives. Going outside is quite a danger nowadays. But even then your not safe. So many people are getting, shot just standing in their front doors, after answering the door bell. Scared? Heck yes, and crazy if your not. Yet here we are and American’s yet still…..so, it’s necessary to remember, that we must love and honor, our country. No matter how rough she gets around the edges. How often she weathers the storms of danger sent her way. America, is still our home, land and the very heart of our souls. Being an American, is great and should be the very thing that makes our heart jump when Old Glory, passes by. America, you are who we are……………..the land of the free and the home of the brave!
