Getting old isn't all bad.
I watch the younger generation running around fretting about current affairs, and I just sit back and relax. I have lived through it all. I have more important things to worry about. Like who just threw up on the living room carpet and can I get to it before Michael steps in it...
Since I was born I have lived through:
6 recessions:
16 stock market crashes world-wide, 8 in the US.
10 presidential elections, 6 of which I voted in.
3 wars and 83 acts of war by the US.
And do you know what the common thread is in all of this? I have lived through it.
No, all if it isn't fun, but so what? We are so blessed to live in the USA. I see people protesting this or that and yelling about Bush doing whatever it is he is supposed to have done this time.... and I just want to slap them. Why can't they just look around and see how blessed they are?
We won't die of a recession. All recessions don't turn into depressions. The next president, no matter who he is, isn't going to ruin the country (both sides always think that.) Stocks rise and fall, it's the nature of the beast. Prices rise and fall. Relax people, breath. Buy low, sell high.
Stop with the screaming and doomsday predicting. From where I sit, looking back in history, y'all just look loony. Besides, it's unbiblical. We are told not to worry about tomorrow, for today has enough worries of it's own.
We are also told that we are to respect authority. There is no authority that isn't put in place by God. How can we say derogatory things about our authority figures knowing they are there by God's design? It's one thing to disagree with them, but to speak disrespectfully, to call them names, to follow the crowd and yell for impeachment and yell "no war for oil!" when we should instead be praying for our president... what has gotten into some of you?
And with that, I will go back to my life of cat puke on the carpet and not sleeping when I should be and let you all skip over what I wrote... ;)
Peace out homies.
