Two good things out of this recession
I had to almost laugh the other day when on talk radio one of the callers was upset because her uneployment ran out and no extension was available for her. Her comment was that unemployment should be extended to her because she was not a lazy welfare person. My first thought was now you are going to begin to understand because your only alternative is welfare. Yes you will lose your car, your home because welfare only pays the barest amount. Too bad more will not learn that lesson.

I read in the local paper letters to the editor where one woman had no problem finding employment for her and her daughters and felt the unemployed just didn't want to work. I thought to myself just let the millions of out of work individuals at her. She would become educated fast.

I had hoped the common man would raise hell about the BP mess. Because that is the only element that is going to change the control business has over human life. Where's the Right to Lifers in this? Oh, I forgot only fetus's possess life according to the stupidity of that element.

I do not think man will come out of his stupor to rationally handle a damn thing.
