Quickly: A post about government

He promised change. Not good change but change. I am disappointed with his version of change. I feel like our government is made up of gangsters. If things don't turn around quickly, I can almost see how horrible things will be. I myself am a former smoker and as of recent a casual smoker. Once you take from smokers what it is that they want from tobacco products, then they no longer see the point in smoking. Its like switching from coke to sprite to avoid the caffeine. It only works if you like sprite, but if you can't stand the taste of sprite, and the coke is too high and doesn't taste the same, then why would you continue to purchase it? What I find interesting about it is the sure cries to come from schools because their funding will be cut. Non smokers don't get it, not having to pay the outragous taxes on tobacco(granted smokers can avoid paying it as well by quitting). Smokers are chastized for what they enjoy, what they choose to spend their money on, even though the taxes paid on tobacco are fundamental to schools.

The whole gm thing*gasp*. Think about a decisoion the government has made allowing gm to send you a letter that they have decided to cut your dealership. They could care less about weather or not your great great grandfather started the dealership. You are just a number. Also, the dealerships that are being forced out, are being forced to provide customers names and such. Some dealerships have been "lucky" to have had connections on the local level and have been able to work out a deal with gm to remain open. I will NEVER EVER buy a new gm product again in my life. I can't get past bailing out a multi million dollar corporation so that they may continue doing business based from oversees. How american is that? Its not like they will re hire the people they laid off when times were tough, or keep their promises to the retired workers, its too bad so sad to them suckers and here we come china. Makes me SICK. If they want to continue in china, let CHINA bail them out, not us!

Most people don't pay too much attention to these things if they arn't directly impacted. I on the other hand, try to see the big pictire. I'm american. what affects my fellow americans affects me. I fear our rights being taken from us, I think it may have already began.

I wasn't an obama supporter, nor a mccain supporter. I kept thinking prior to election "wow, is this really the best we have to offer ourselves?"....I voted for neither, just didn't feel i could trust either of them.

I read a blog recently about someones view on the whole "green" thing. I have to say that i quite agree with her. Mostly, the "going green" campaign is just that, a campaign. Its all about getting you to go out and buy energy saving this or that. You should not be driving a gas powered vehicle, instead go out and buy a new 30,000 dollar car. Isn't that creating waste? Buying things you don't need? Throwing out things because they arn't green and purchasing new? Its all to make you feel better people. There isn't really anything green about it, not at all. I say if you want to be green, recycle,reuse, repurpose. I myself am a big re-purposer. I give things away if I can't use them but rarely throw much out.....HGTV is giving away a "green home", basically a brand new home decked out with all the "green" trimmings. Hmmm... While I'm sure energy effeciant and nice bamboo floors and all, was it really that important to build a brand new home and advertise how to enter to win a chance of winning it? Its a gimic, people. What exactly are you giving back? I wonder if the green home has a family room and a living room. I wonder if its got many bedrooms. convenience over trying to perserve.

just some things to think about people
