i'm new here. please excuse me if i sound like a know it all.
i have been around the block a few times. in the first 34 years of my life. i served in the navy, twice. i also sold kirby sweepers for 2 years. and i've had my share of "ground level" jobs...ie, jobs with sucky paychecks. so i have experienced enough to know a few things.
who is NOT to blame:
the current president. he has not been in ofice long enough to fix whatever clinton screwed up. and clinton screwed a lot of things up.
religion. even organized religion. yes, their are people being brainwashed, everywhere, to believe certain "fringy" type things.
but ultimatly, people need to take responsiblity for their own actions.
arabs and moslems in this country. i point this out, because of what happened to japanes people, italians, and germans in this country, shortly after the pearl harbor attack. don't go off half cocked towards any one group of people.
there are good and bad people everywhere. the important thing is, can we comer to together as one nation (under god) to stick up for one another, and all who love freedom? i believe we can.
sane people do not plan, much less carry out, mass murder. that may not make you feel any better right now. but in the long run, if we all keep that in mind, keep a level head and support our neighbors and friends, we will all be better off.
i say this to everyone, not just you.
