Flood of crap to shit tsunami...steemCreated with Sketch.

in #politics7 years ago

So....here's the thing.... As most of you already know, we are not too thrilled of the downward spiral of this country. And now I have witnessed the good ol' "why don't you leave" type crap from one family member to another.

Well...tell ya what...if anyone feels folks like me should just SIMPLY move from where our mothers physically birthed us, then great! Send me the money to move to Denmark, Norway, Estonia or pretty much ANY European country! Oh wait...not really THAT simple now is it?

This country has the ability to become great, but it has not been TRULY great long as I have been here (47). At least since Nixon it has went downhill in a fast FAST rate. I was born here. I came out of my mothers womb here. Yes. That does not mean I am FORCED to be all patriotic and blindly adore this piece of land. And one of the few last truly FREE things we are aloud to do is feel any damn way we want about it.

Lets be clear though....while I do understand how it was way easier to program and cheat the voters in the past with propaganda....I am the MOST disappointed by my fellow voters who continue to allow these bought off lobby/bank puppets to further ruin this piece of land where my mother birthed me. And I have to live in it either way.

I would love nothing more than to be proud of my country. That would be a totally new feeling for me. Since as long as I can remember, it has been a flood of crap slowly becoming a shit tsunami.

My life started in 1970....so Vietnam War was the first crap thing going on after my mother birthed me on the piece of land. As I grew, that same mother warned me of the sad state of affairs this piece of land was in and was heading towards. She was NOT a fan of Nixon for good reason. HMOs for starters. How we lost any chance of ever having good health care that everyone can have. My mother told me a lot about it. And low and behold I watched Sicko. There is a RECORDING of that bastard Nixon talking about how he was going to screw all of us with HMOs. IF you have not seen that....PLEASE DO. (clip below)

There is way more to vent about why I don't feel patriotic because my mother birthed me on this piece of land and I will leave you all with this.... like the ol' saying goes, respect is EARNED not a right. (like our healthcare should be...)

Sort:  

so what are you doing about it besides bitching?
oddly enough

you see...I've been paying attention.

Steemit is just one tiny example.
I'm doing rilly rilly well on steem
beyond my wildest expectation
why?

I think Steem is the precursor of a new way to earn income
something like Universal Basic Income.
but better.
no government needed
What's not to like.

Be negative if you want to be
I'll wave as I pass by.


Paid for one with Steem
(the houseboat...one just like it...not the dog)

seeya..

Congratulations! One of my Steemit fantasies is to buy a cheap plot of land with a small house and fix'er up'er. Would make a nice video series.

She was NOT a fan of Nixon for good reason. HMOs for starters. How we lost any chance of ever having good health care that everyone can have.

Not-so-fun fact: part of Nixon's WW2 career was working as a price controller in the Office of Price Administration.
