I'm Tired

Excuse me, but didn’t I pay for that.

In a time of turmoil I ask the age-old question, the chicken or the egg, I think I bought them both and eat neither. In my 45 years I have lived some life, good bad and indifferent.  I am the defender of the uneducated, the insolent, the deprived. Yet I am tired. Learned helplessness.  I use this term as often as any, I defend with a sociological view, and yet I am tired. 

If you have a pack of Marlboro reds in your purse, you can pay for your pre natal vitamins, or better still a condom. AND Really Coos County,,?? Must you continue to smoke in your car with the windows up and your children with you?, yes plural.

Will I also pay for the tubes that will be placed in your children’s ears? Will I care for them in the hospital post surgery and weep silently for their pain, pain they did not ask for. 

America needs to pull up her big girl panties and stop crying. We are in crisis. Who holds the purse strings? Corporate America has had control for far to long. Home of the free my ass, more like home of the helpless and greedy. Education is our only hope,, teach them to fish.

And further more, When did it ever become ok to wear your PJ’s in public, with slippers?? Accountability &  Entitlement , Chicken or Egg?
