Today? Stuff I'm sick of.
I'm sick of hearing about New Orleans. It's been 5 years people. Quit whining and start pulling yourselves up by the bootstraps. You weren't the only ones hit by Katrina. Since then plenty of other neighborhoods and communities have been hit by fires, floods, storms, tornados, whackos and idiots. Every hear of Haiti? San Bruno? Santa Barbara? Boulder? Nut cases killing their families and co-workers? Rape? Multilation? Genocide? I could do on. So I will. Homelessness is widespread. Children all over this country live in poverty. Plenty of people have lost their homes and their jobs and live in deplorable conditions. New Orleans has become the poster child for the me-me-me entitlement generation. If you vote for Reagan, don't expect FDR to come to your rescue, people.
I'm sick of hearing about 9/11. A bunch of nut cases commit mass murder. Let me explain something. Bunches of nut cases commit mass murder all over the world every day. So what did we of the USA do in response? Went to other countries and loosed our nut cases on other populations for the purpose of committing mass murder. In the name of what, I've never been able to figure out. To destroy weapons of mass destruction? There were none. To wipe out the Taliban? Can't be done any more than we can wipe out mortality. And we cry and fly our flags and feel sorry for ourselves and hate a little more on every anniversary, on every 9/11. That'll help a lot.
Shit happens, people. Deal with it. Move on. A hundred years from now, no one will alive who remembers any of this. What are you doing TODAY to make the world a better place?

Welcome back! :-] Nice to read you without the kid gloves on. Yours, that is. But, then, I rather like Attitude!
I'm with you. I am sorry so many died on 9/11. I'm sorry New Orleans was handled so badly. Hell, I'm sorry we stole the land from the Native Americans. I'm sorry Hitler managed pull off the Holocaust. And sorry we ever thought ripping blacks away from their homes and buying and selling them was a good idea. There are a ton of things that have happened, current or history, that are sad statements on humankind. And I am sorry they happened. But, you are so, so right. There isn't a damned thing we can do to undo even yesterday. All we can do is work to make something better today. I don't know where this expression came from, but I've always liked it. "Pull up your big girl panties and get over it!"
You go girl!
BTW, my word verification is "quitell". I'm reading it as "Quit? Hell!"
