  remember the days when the worst news on the tv was about that little brat down the street and his friends riding their skateboards on the newly paved road and the old ladies called the cops cuz they didn't want their street ruined by punks? ok so maybe you didn't live where i did. but i miss it. the more i hear about the war on terrorism, iraq, oil stuff, the UN, the president of the US, the more i want to scream, pull out my hair, run about slapping everyone i see upside the head.
is that wrong? cuz man, does it ever seem necessary. i do not want to sound like i am belittling the seriousness of world events, by no means, i assure you, i am not. but dammit. wtf! in the 'old days'if tommy spit on sally, tommy's mom would smack his ass red and send him to his room with no dinner and make him apologize too!
but now, tommy's mom would be doing hard time with murderers and thieves for child abuse, and tommy would have knocked sally up by raping her and their kid left on a door step somewhere, but that's ok, cuz there are programs to help both of them achieve their GED's and get a job that pays just enough to buy them cigs and beers. hm, i sound like such a negative person. wonder how that happened?
