We may have our "Spacious Skies", but they are filling up with smog & pollution. And the "Amber Waves of Grain" are sprayed with toxic chemicals that cause cancer. And that's not even the worst part.
THE BOMBS... What's up with the all the bombs going off in places that most of us never knew existed until lives were lost? And all the so called "Copy Cats" calling in more threats gives a whole new meaning to "Home of the Brave". It seems you have to be brave just to survive in this country. And you never know who's gonna go on a bombing spree next or what area will be the target. And no one knows anything or sees anything. Some popular American phrases: "I don't know." "I didn't do it". "I didn't see anything". Getting away with murder is becoming a popular pastime. Actually getting away with anything is quite popular. What must other countries be thinking of us when our President (the guy who's supposed to set an example for the entire country) gets caught lying and pretty much gets away with it? (what a guy...NOT) Everyone is just "Out There" taking care of themselves. "All for One and One for All" got lost somewhere. Now it's just "All For Me" and "None For You. We are pushing ourselves into a selfish, cranky existence. We must push everything we do to the limit. Then when something goes wrong, we blame it on technology, science, the government. We grow babies in test tubes and fly to the moon. Do you really think anyone is ever gonna live there (or want to)? Do you think the money we spend on the space program would be better spent on the quality of life here on earth? We have become a Nation of lazy, self centered, uncaring people. And while we are busy looking over our shoulders and worried about covering our asses, the Country is being bought up by everyone but Americans. Maybe we should consider life in space cause we are rapidly giving up all that our fore fathers fought for and it will just be a matter of time that there will be no room left in America for Americans. Consider this... OK...Could we possibly make it any more difficult & confusing to get medical attention in this country? I have been seeing the same doctor for 10 years and now I need a referral. (whatever) Now a days when you walk into a doctors office they don't ask "How are you?", instead they ask What isurance do you have?" (so much for the hypocratic oath). Can't we worry about payment AFTER we fix what's broken? I thought you were supposed to pay for a job after it's been completed. (my mistake) And have you applied for Medicaid lately? You can die a long death just filling out the paperwork. Then when it comes time to make an appointment you have to wait 2 months to get one. And when you do finally get to see a doctor, he hands you a script for an anit-depressant, mood-altering drug, or some other pill. Is the whole country depressed? (I can't say I blame them) It seems that every other person I talk to is taking a pill for something. There is literally a "Pill" you can take for just about anything. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing, and it's great that we have it available to us, but we're gettin crazy with the pills. Take pills to go to sleep. Take pills because your depressed. Take pills cause your having trouble sexually. Take pills to quit smoking. Take pills to prevent pregnancy. Take a pill for pain, a pill for inflamation, a pill to decrease your appetite, pill to increase your appetite. Take a pill to feel more energy. Take a pill to calm you down. It doesn't matter what your symptoms are, there's a pill for it. Yet there is still a problem with the issue of legalizng marijuana. (go figure)
Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance Only in America are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink Only in America do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front Only in America do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and diet coke Only in America do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters Only in America do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage Only in America do we use answering machines to screen calls and
then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place Only in America do we buy hot dogs in packs of 10 and buns in packs of 8 Only in America do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering
