I'm probably going to get yelled at for this but here goes anyway...

I was laying in bed last night watching the news. I got to thinking (hard to do after packing and moving stuff all day) about what in the hell is happening to out country??

Crime, poverty and animal abuse are out of control. There are no decent paying jobs to be found (unless you happen to KNOW someone) so that people can support themselves and their families. Yet when catastrophies such as the earthquake in Pakistan happens, poverty in other countries, etc. happens, WE, the United States, jump into action and pledge MILLIONS of dollars to help. Why don't other countries help out???

Why can't U.S. take care of IT'S own first?? Charity DOES begin at home. Then, if we have anything left, offer it to whoever needs it the most.

This country is going to hell in a hand basket.

When a new president is elected (thank GOD Bush is outta here, not soon enough), have him/her sign a contract, holding him/her to their word that the campaign promises they made WILL be upheld, or they will be held personally accountable for it. Hey, that's what businesses do, right??

I think the people of this country need to take back what is rightfully theirs. "WE THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE", as it is stated, not we the people for other countries. We need to stand up and tell these rich politicians that we are not going to take their crap with their empty campaign promises any longer. Get protests going. Speak out!!

Am I the only one that feels this way???

Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now (I need it to pack stuff in).
