SISSY BRITCHES

(sigh)

Don't you think we've become a bunch of whining sissies in this country? Nothing pleases us; we're over-the-top litigious; we fear terrorists, politicians, biking without a helmet, trans fats, getting cancer from cell phones, the national debt, that our kids won't get into an Ivy League school, that they WILL get into an Ivy League school, global warming, unwhitened teeth, erectile dysfunction, internet porn, yada, yada, yada.

Our stupidity and inattention to detail has contributed to the country's housing crisis -- we didn't know enough to read between the lines or ask the appropriate questions when signing the mortgage papers. We were SO ignorant that even if we didn't know what questions to ask, we didn't have common sense enough to hire an attorney to ask them FOR us.

We engage in groupthinks, rant and rave, protest and march to do something about global warming while all the while overlooking the fact that we should be expending our PERSONAL energies into rattling Congress' cage to get off its partison high horse and explore solutions for our very real NATIONAL energy problems.

We spend ourselves into oblivion and then whine that we have no money; we're afraid to die and afraid to live; we drink too much, smoke too much, take too many pharmaceuticals -- legal or otherwise; we're afraid to commit our time, money, emotions; we worry that social security is doomed, our 401Ks will be decimated by inflation, that another hurricane will bankrupt the insurance companies; we're afraid we'll be struck by lightning, that our silicone breast implants will leak, that gun control will pass; we're afraid Britney won't stay sober and that this will be "Monk's" last season.

We sit back and say nothing when left-wing liberals spit on and disrespect our military, which are putting their lives on the line every day so that those tree-hugging socialists can have the freedom to have a different opinion. We gripe about the Constitution, which is assaulted daily by LFTLW (Lawyers For The Left Wing); we hostilely confront teachers who dare to discipline our children.

We are just whining sissies.
If you're over 40, you most likely have parents who are appalled at the state of this union, just as you should be. We're in a downward spiral and I'm afraid we don't have what it takes any longer to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps.

Do I worry about this stuff?

Absofreakinglutely I do.
