My America Has Changed

At the outset, let me say that to refer to this country as MY AMERICA is pretty damn ARROGANT, especially since I am not nor have I ever been in a position the INFLUENCE the direction of MY AMERICA...

I am 73 year old married twice Veteran who has barely managed to survive a 45 year career where I voluntarily agreed to work for INTELLECTUAL IDIOTS whose sole purpose was to demonstrate to others their CONSISTENT INCOMPETENCE when it came to making decisions that their positions indicated that they had to make.

These WELL EDUCATED CLOWNS could not pour piss out of a cowboy boot with directions written on the heel as my Dad used to say about those with whom he had to work...  and like other scientific observers might have stated previously, the apple does not fall far from the tree.

AMERICA suffers from GREED.

AND, quite interestingly, our ECONOMIC GROWTH is contingent upon GREED.

When I was entering the workplace for the first time in the 1950's, the motto was "an honest day's pay for an honest day's work."   Since that time, this phrase has either been forgotten, overlooked, or completely ignored...  because we no longer believe in an honest day's work for an honest day's pay....  NO...  we now believe in the concept of HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I GET FOR DOING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WORK...

This attitude had always been reserved for those employees who had already worked 30-40 years and who had through the grace of God been promoted through the ranks, finding themselves in positions of power and control...  as they leveled out their working career and began preparing themselves for retirement...

THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE...

Students in high school and college DO NOT WANT TO LEARN, they just want to know what they need to MEMORIZE in order to get the "A".  I have had the pleasure of teaching some of the intellectuals in my College Classes and they wrote on a 10th grade level, read on an 8th grade level and had no desire to problem solve or drill down on any subject for an answer unless it was how to get out of doing something or how to steal online music or hack someone's computer.

THESE ARE THE KINDS OF PEOPLE WITH WHOM YOU NEVER WANT TO SHARE A FOXHOLE...

Politics is worse than it has ever been in the sense of failing to compromise or reaching a solution that benefits ALL AMERICANS not just a selected few million.  We have also now turned the corner on the concept that if your party did not win the election, then you and your party must do everything in your power to UNDERMINE AND DESTROY THOSE WHO WON THE ELECTION...

My America has changed...
