How sad are the people you know of today? How sad were they yesterday? How sad will they be in eternity if you don't show them the joy of the hope that is W.I.T.H.I.N. you?

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

sadness... that state of mind that we find most baffling at the most inopportune times...when we think we're about to win but just seconds before crossing the golden finish line we end up having our win taken away by some convenient technicality...

sadness...that state of awareness that those who made a huge fuss over you as they pat you yet when a logical difference of opinion arises, someone you trusted as a sibling drop kicks you as quickly as the employee who thought Borders would always at least have ONE STORE offline. . .

sadness... that state where a PhD -- who is now qualified to tell us what we should be doing correctly as if they had the wisdom of the ancients when in fact a quick roll in the sack with a tenured official gave them an honorary head nod of compliance -- tells us to jot down 10 things on a steno pad from the dollar store owned by someone who pays no American taxes yet gets rich off of whats leftover from the fat of the land where at least in writing it says we have the RIGHT TO PURSUE HAPPINESS, and then urges us to "think, Think, THINK ON THESE THINGS... feeling victimized will not pay life's dues.

The Average American Has Been Destroyed By This Economy

Your neighbor needs you to tell them there is hope. America needs you. Here are few of the FACTS:

Only 45.4% of Americans were employed 2010 -- the lowest level since 1983.

Only 66.8% of American men were employed last year -- the lowest level ever in the U.S.

In the U.S. one-fourth of all income is earned by 1% of the people.

74% of Americans will slow down their spending in coming months due to rising prices.

And the average price of a gallon of gasoline in America is now about $3.79/gallon
Americans spend about 23% of their income on food and gas.
U.S. workers compete for jobs with workers in places such as Indonesia. Full-time workers there make as little as two dollars a day.
8 million Americans are at least one month behind on their mortgage payments.
There are 10% fewer "middle class jobs" in the United States today than there were a decade ago.
The United States has lost an average of 50,000 manufacturing jobs per month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.
Half of all American workers now earn $505 or less per week.
1.5 million Americans filed for bankruptcy in 2010 -- that represented the fourth yearly increase in bankruptcy filings in a row.
Over the last decade, the number of Americans without health insurance has risen from about 38 million to about 52 million.
According to a report published in The American Journal of Medicine, medical bills are a major factor in more than 60 percent of all personal bankruptcies in the United States.

And still it continues...

At least my coffee helps :-)
