THIS IS SOMETHING MY SISTER WROTE AND I THINK SHE PUT IT REALLY WELL...if she cared about what i thought i would call and tell her myself bt i th thought the best thing i could do was at least share it with you all...
"I'm going to let you know what bugs me a little bit....ok a lot
It bugs me
About this election....people think America is going to shit
Please tell me why you think America is going to shit
I would really like to hear your opinions
Is it because gays can't get married
or because you think they might be able to soon get married?
Please tell me why you think that this country could not get any worse
So maybe before you start running your mouth about your opinions, and how smart you think you are
Think about how lucky you are to live in this country
do this for me
think about how you got to vote yesterday, and elect your leaders, not just presidential.
think about how women actually have rights
think about how the government doesn't just take money from you for themselves, without getting anything in return
think about how well our governmental system works
THINK ABOUT HOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO DIE TOMORROW
c'mon people
I understand if you're upset about an election, or a proposal, or decisions our leaders make....I am too
but when you say America has gone to shit....
it makes me somewhat sick when I hear all this complaining
buck up, you live in America
and it truly is America the beautiful
maybe you need to go live in southern africa, or mexico, or the middle east, or china
I can give you names of people who would be ecstatic to trade with you
that will put it in perspective"
