What I think makes this country great is great people, not world movers and shakers, but people who aspire for better things, for themselves and for their children. When we get to the point where we all the time and say this country sucks, well, I say get off your a$$ and do SOMETHING about it. Not anything, something specific. Use the brain God gave you and take back what was taken in smart, unified ways, not random acts of foolishness. If we really cared about what was going down we'd go there and be heard, whether there is your local, county, state, or federal gov't building and face to face our grievances, call into accountability those who are charged with representing our points of view. I'm so sick of hearing, we're such a minority, we don't matter in the whole scheme of things, I tell you this is a defeatist attitude and if you like your job, you'll fight for it, not lay down and pu$$ out. I've had enough of slick politicians sliding in the back door and illegally getting legislation passed that directly affects my well being. For my own good my @$$, if they wanted to do what was for my own good I'd be allowed to pursue my happiness, hunting snakes makes me happy, makes me productive, doesn't make me sick, gives me more goals to shoot for, I work harder to ge able to do it again and again. Nobody ever promised anyone happiness, but our forefathers guaranteed our right to pursue it, so I am not going to let someone who knows absolutely nothing about what makes me happy take it from me without they lose something they love, their job. If I were a Senator or Rep, I'd be getting my resume redone and brush up on my fall back trade, 'cause brother, there's gonna be some new jobs created in these upcoming elections. There's a time to reap and a time to sow, it's time to sow new seeds, tend the garden, pull the weeds, and reap a harvest. Tax break, we don't need no stinkin' tax breaks, we need to keep the jobs we have and find jobs for the ones lost, and get Americans off the freakin' welfare system. Go to work, pay your bills, go herpin', go back to work.
