In today's time and place, the world can be viewed as falling apart depending on your own angle. People are learning that another food can give you cancer. Wow, a while back I heard it was something else and it became good for you years later so what's up with that? The government is trying to force our rights away by making new laws that say smokers can't smoke and people who want to eat shouldn't eat what they want so they can lose weight whether they want to lose weight or not. Come on, if we're happy with ourselves who cares what the goverment thinks about our bodies? I sure don't. I'm happy with my weight and I'm not going to lose weight just because they say its good for me.

Then we have the "war" overseas and rebuilding a city where we don't even belong. Those men and women should be with their families right now. Instead, they are in another country where some very angry people don't want them. I do support them, don't get me wrong but I would rather see them alive with their mothers, wives, children, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, neices, nephews, and their grandparents. How long will they have to be over there? The World Trade Center has been gone for a while now. Those lives are lost and will be missed. What those men and women over there are doing can't bring them back. We can keep looking for the people responsible but a war doesn't need to happen to make that happen.

Others things I see around me is all that violence on my own homeland. All the rapes and murders that take place. People are being arrested and thrown into over crowded jail cells and we have to pay for that with our own hard earned incomes. Some of those people are innoscent. Some of those people are children who made a mistake and gave in to peer pressure and got into trouble by smoking a joint. These kids may not be bad people but they were locked up anyway. Yes drugs are a bad thing and the people who deal should be locked up. In my opinion, some things can be over looked. The police should focus on crimes of murder, theft, rape, drugs like cocaine and other hard drugs. One prostitute trying to make something so she can live should be helped so she can stop that kind of life, to improve her self worth. Being thrown in jail isn't going to help her.

All right, I believe I am touching a little sensitive areas here but its enough to get people talking and that is the purpose of this blog, get you to think and talking. Maybe what I believe isn't right, maybe it isn't wrong, either way our world is falling apart and there is something we all can do about it. I know there is one thing I am right about, what we're doing isn't working and there has to be a way to do something that will work. I don't know what that is. Maybe you have an idea. What ever the case, at least we're talking about it. Maybe something will actually be done as a result.

Thank you!
