Greed

Greed is starting to rear its ugly head. Everyone is so worried that someone else is going to get "their" dollar. Hence, we have the "housing crisis"---too many houses built for too few people. Of course, the financiers aren't going to be out done so they give loans to buy houses to people that can't qualify to rent a house. But no worries, the financiers will sell the note to some other financial group and just pass it along and play the game. Because if it really gets bad the US government will bail them out, because the govt can't let these institutions fail, because people's life saving are in there. And now drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico...a company bypassing safety measures trying to drill to hard and too fast, because they need to make money as fast as possible...ignoring warning signs. Well, here we are. Fat, unhappy America. ---Oh, should I start on that one. One study shows that by 2018 40% of America will be obese. I hear that for the last several years foreigners laugh when fat Americans get off planes. And our beloved pasttimes haven't gone untouched. In an era of steroids, who knows what a real record is. The leagues turn and cough while players cheat...for the love of the ...dollar. ----Oh I could go on and on, but I'm really not a negative Nellie. Ask God to forgive us, and start doing your part. Eat the right stuff. Don't eat a second plate. Save money, so you can give it away to the needy. Quit paying the salaries of cheaters. Brag on the people that do things the right way. ----Oh yeah, parents take your kids to church, and quit dragging them to everything else. It's late...I am out.
