Knock, Knock...Who's there?...Reality

If you were to ask me what was wrong with America today, I would have to say our mindsets. We as a nation have fallen backwards instead of forwards. We’ve forgotten what it truly means to be a free American. I don’t care if the government is corrupt, so what; we are the people. We are not Capitol Hill, we are not the White House, and we are certainly not Congress. We are the citizens; that single mother working two and three jobs to put food on the table, that struggling business that is still trying to get up on its feet, and the immigrant who is ridiculed because he supposedly has taken an American job away from another American. Look it’s time for a wakeup call. We need to stop blaming the government and stop being lazy. We don’t have jobs, no matter how small, because we thought we were better than that because America is spoiled. We have everything at our finger tips, from remotes, to laptops, to pens, pencils and paper, to opportunity and we throw it away because we don’t know any better. We don’t know any better because we accept everything the T.V. tells us.  What ever happened to self-discovery? Did it go out the window with imagination, ambition, and good, healthy curiosity? To be honest, I don’t know. I still and forever will have mine because my mother knew how to fight the system; and I know she is not the only American who knows how to do that but, they are still the minority. The majority is still on the systems lap asking for what they want for Christmas. America needs to wake up and realize that Life really does not have to be as hard as it is now, but it can be much better if we go back to looking toward heaven for our help instead of looking in ourselves. Wakeup America, cause time is running out.

But hey you don’t have to listen to me; I’m only one person trying to get you thinking one penny at a time…
