They also looked to the government and demanded care for their carelessness (smoking, drinking, eating bad foods). Carrying the freeloaders and the sharpers has cost our nation its greatness, but don't forget the words of Abe Lincoln: "People pretty much get the government they deserve."<br /><br />It stings, but isn't it pretty much true? Why didn't we all "vote out" the lamebrains who started this trend way back when? <br /><br />One reason: We were all busy living, of course, and those who make the laws -- because we are a nation of laws -- had a field day making up laws to hogtie us while we were busy leading lives, fighting wars, raising kids, feeding the world, and so on. And now with all those stupid laws on the books, we are hogtied in every way, we are caught in a big ol' spider's web so to speak, and IMHO, lawyers who don't know sh*t from shinola setting right in the middle of it.Olde Dame Penniwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871888334179316997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-6199508991277552202009-04-15T10:55:00.000-04:002009-04-15T10:55:00.000-04:00Nothing could be more appropriate on this, our spe...Nothing could be more appropriate on this, our special day! I heard a smattering about a possible tax on each ounce of sugar beverage bought by consumers in certain states. They are trying to 'protect our health', kind of like the cigarette tax, and outlawing certain oils used in cooking at fast food resteraunts....What ever became of America the land of the Free? Not many free choices here any more.ClassyChassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12645241442596037812noreply@blogger.com
