My kid's generation doesn't really have a shred of hope, does it?

210. do you see things?

Or do you imagine things?

Do you really see those monsters in the closet, or do you just fear that they are there and thus make them real in your head.

Consider this "America has never been about love. Americans think life is one big competition, and if you're not actively kicking someone's ass and taking what they have, it's YOUR fault."

Who exactly are you talking about? Me? I am 54. Do you think I have spent my life kicking peoples' a$$es and taking what they have? Or do you think that if I have NOT, then I muse have been on the other side, getting my a$$ kicked and losing what I had?

No doubt America has a number of hard driving people who claw their way to some higher position and other people who operate either outside of the law or right on the edge of the law, but there are also many more who are just hard working, and are even giving of their time, energy, and money. We kind of expect other people to do what we do, maybe, is that too much to ask? For people to get a job, and then to show up at the job with a decent attitude and work fairly hard?

What I see, for all you want to wag your finger at people who have that attitude, is that there are many people with jobs who don't feel like they should have to work. It seemed like a generational thing too. A couple of old guys, three of them were very good workers, in spite of their age, they were working rings around a younger generation of slackers.

It just so happens that I spent this last weekend, Friday and Saturday, working both days to raise money for charities. Drove 80 miles and worked 13 hours on Friday and ten on Saturday, and there must have been hundreds of people doing similar actions at the Speedway. There were over twenty just with our club.

I think you are looking at the wrong part of the glass.
