America's Favorite Teenage Mom To Tie The Knot


What’s the point?

So I was reading my most trusted news source today – TMZ – and came across a wonderful article that made me think – “What’s the point?”. America’s favorite teenage mom, Bristol Palin, and her beau Levi Johnston have decided to get married. Congratulations! What a wonderful thought … right? A couple things though about the article and how they are going about things … one, they didn’t want to actually tell their parents (embarrassment, judgment, or fear of being call the stupidest two people in the world?), so they decided to break their news on US Weekly – because then I am sure their parents wouldn’t hear about it.

http://www.tmz.com/2010/07/14/levi-and-bristol-engaged-married-sarah-palin-tripp/

Looking beyond the stupidity of this – and knowing that they will be divorced before you know it – they have pledged to not have sex, and remain abstinent until their wedding night (by the way they are pulling the shotgun wedding off in 6 week – can you say pregnant again?). In the real world – I would applaud these youngsters for choosing to abide by their faith and wait until marriage, but let’s all remember – they do have a 2 year old son together … which lead me to believe they have had sex before (sorry, hate to disappoint all the immaculate conception theorists out there).

So what’s this all mean you may be asking yourselves?

It’s just another 15 minutes of fame for both of them … they have had a taste of the “good life”. You know, Levi posing for Playgirl, Bristol getting into acting and public speaking (rumors are she gets $20,000 - $40,000 per speech on abstinence). For those of you who also might be trying to complete the link back to Sarah Palin – it leads me to believe that she needs to lean back on the this when it comes time to start running for office again. Or is it another book tour? Or was she going to get her own midday TV show? Who knows …

All I know is this is a joke …

I give it two years tops before they are split, and less than 9 months before they pop out another kid …yes folks my money is on that they didn’t remain abstinent and are actually with child now. Take it to Vegas …

Role models or thugs?

Common sense?

Now I know this isn’t news to anyone – but professional athletes have to be some of the dumbest people on the planet when it comes to misbehaving and getting in trouble with the law. I don’t know if it’s because they feel entitled due to their fame or whether they are just that dumb, but look at how many athletes have gotten in trouble for a myriad of things from DWI, to drugs, to dog fighting, to murder. Maybe it’s because they are “celebrities” that we hear so much about them when they do get in trouble – I blame the media for that. But as a public figure (much like politicians, actors, and corporate tycoons), you need to be a bit more wise about your ways when it comes to how you live your life.

These guys (and some gals I am sure) have everything – money, houses, cars, boats – you name it. So why, with that much fame and money, wouldn’t you just hire someone to be your driver? I’m volunteering to any athlete/celebrity in Minnesota to give them a ride when they are wasted to avoid another media frenzy (e.g. Al Jefferson). When are these people going to learn – you have a limited amount of time in your industry (most pro athletes won’t last 10 years in their career) – you need to do everything you can to make the most of it. This includes being smart about where you go, when you go, who you go with and what you do when you go there.

I listen to a local AM talk radio show (Garage Logic – www.garagelogic.com) and their wise host says “Nothing good happens after midnight”. Isn’t that true! When was the last time you heard of an athlete being pulled over at 6 pm during rush hour? It’s always 2 am coming home from a nightclub. Speaking of nightclubs – when you go there, leave your 9-millimeter at home (e.g. Plaxico Burress). If you think you need a gun at a nightclub when you’re hanging with your posse and having some drinks – then you probably shouldn’t be at that club!

What gets me more is that these athletes get away with so much – maybe it’s because they can hire the big buck attorneys to make it all go away, or they have the money to pay some huge fines. But the normal Joe Schmoe out there seems to get the wrong end of sentencing when it comes to celebrities and the justice system. I applaud the justice system in recent years with Michael Vick and Plaxico Burress – both got to see what the inside of prison looks like. Maybe, just maybe that will make them realize what a gift they have and what they need to do to keep out of trouble.

Here’s a list of some athlete’s in recent history that have seen the backseat of a police car at least once:

Plaxico Burress - Discharging Weapon In Public
Rae Carruth - Murder
Jamal Lewis - Drug Trafficking
Michael Vick - Dog Fighting
Darryl Strawberry - Drugs
Mike Tyson - Drugs, Rape, Ugly Facial Tattoo (ok it’s not a crime, but it should be!)
Al Jefferson - DWI
Zach Randolph - DWI
Jared Allen - DWI
Dante Stallworth - DUI Manslaughter
Ronnie Brown - DUI
Adrian Peterson - Excessive Speed (over 100 mph in a 55 mph zone)
Carmelo Anthony - DUI
Pete Rose - Tax Evasion
Onterrio Smith - Drugs (and the famous Whizzinator escapade)

I read a recent article that said between 20% - 40% of professional athletes have a criminal record. Really? What is this saying to the youth – that it’s ok to drink and drive, that it’s ok to beat your spouse, that you can kill someone and get away with it?

I know the various leaders of the professional sports have been trying to combat this problems for decades. By no means is this a new phenomenon. But at some point, these “professionals” need to start acting like ones. Hold these people accountable, make a policy of two strikes and you are out (everyone should at least have the chance to screw up once and learn what they have the opportunity to lose). Make these guys act and behave like responsible adults if they want to continue to make their millions. And parents – don’t let your kids look up to these people like role models – because eventually they will let you down.

Funny things kids say ...


As a new parent - I am just counting down the days until my little girl begins to talk, and what will come out of her mouth. My mother and wife continue to tell me that I am in for it as a father. They say that all the wrong doing and misbehaving I did as a kid will come back tenfold. I'm in trouble! So to celebrate the next few months before Emerson can speak back to me - I thought I would give a light hearted look at some of the funny quotations I found online of things little kids say.

Quick Quotations:
- "TNT." -- Given as an answer for a written spelling bee, when the teacher called the word "dynamite."
- "I'm glad I'm finally eight. This is the oldest I've ever been in my entire life!" -- 8 year old son.
- "Oh, well Mom said all I had to use was the sponge and dish detergent." -- 12 year old daughter, when her father told her he used elbow grease to get the dishes clean
- "Do they look after the Pokemon?" -- City kid, when asked what a gamekeeper does.
- "I have a rock in my nose." -- 2 year old son, greeting his mother after preschool, a full hour after recess was over.
- "Well, sometimes I say something mean to my brother, but I feel really good inside. Does that mean I'm a hypocrite?" -- 7 year old girl, after a Sunday School teacher explained that a hypocrite was someone who says one thing but feels something else.
- "Daddy, did your hair slip?" -- 3 year old son, to his bald but long bearded father
- "Daddy picked them up and looked underneath. I think it's printed on the bottom." -- 3 year old son, when his mother asked how his father knew the genders of four new baby kittens
- "How will that help?" -- Kindergarten student, when the class was instructed to hold up two fingers if any of them had to go to the bathroom
- "They didn't see it -- it was all cut off!" -- 2 year old son, when his mother was asked how his grandparents liked his new haircut
- "Tell me when you're asleep, ok?" -- 7 year old son, overheard talking to his 5 year old brother.
- "Well you're old, and you're not dead." -- "3 year old son, to his father. The comment followed an explanation of why the father's grandparents weren't around anymore.
- "The box says you can't eat them if the seal is broken. I'm looking for the seal." -- A young son, examining the contents of a box of Animal Crackers
- "Don't kid me, Mom, I know they're my feet." -- 3 year old son, when his mother told him his shoes were on the wrong feet
- "Mommy, you said it would be a shot; instead it was a needle!" -- Boy, overheard at the hospital
- "How do you put make up on your mind?" -- Girl, when told she should make up her mind.
- "I wish someone we knew would die so we could leave them flowers." -- 6 year old girl, upon seeing flowers in a cemetery.
- "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some email." -- 4 year old girl, misquoting the Lord's Prayer
- "Watch out, Daddy. Mommy's got her eye on you!" -- 4 year old girl, after hearing her mother telling her father that she'd take an I.O.U. for a promised restaurant dinner.
- "I didn't look much -- I've only got little eyes!" -- 7 year old, about to be scolded for peeking at her Christmas presents.
- "When you were my age, you was just a baby!" -- 5 year old.
- "Why don't they just do what they did in 1899?" -- On preparing for Y2K in 1999.
- Melanie asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Said Melanie, "If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six."

I Feel So Old:
• "This is the biggest CD I've ever seen!" -- On first seeing a record.

Kid Stories:
The other day my five year old grandson was lounging on my lap.
• Him: "Poppop, you have hair in your nose."
• Me: "Everybody has hair in their nose."
• Him: "But you have a lot of hair in your nose."
• Me: "Well, it's not growing on top of my head very well. I have to grow it somewhere."
• Him: (thoughtful pause) "Do you want me to pull some of it out for you?"
I declined the offer.

In a preschool class I used to teach, we had two little girls who played every day that they were characters from classic Disney cartoons. One day I heard one calling the other "Allison." I didn't know a single Disney character named Allison, so I asked the little girl who she was today. She replied, "Allison Wonderland."
________________________________________
My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, "62." He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"
________________________________________
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
________________________________________
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?"
"You're both old," he replied.
________________________________________
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked.
"I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."
________________________________________
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."
________________________________________
A high school teacher asked when surfing was popular in the USA. A cheerleader in the class said, "The 60s." The teacher asked her to be more specific, and she said, confidently, "The 1960s."
________________________________________
I had a party a few weeks ago, and a really good friend of the family had brought some cousins, about 7 and 5 years old. The older one looked up at a guest and said:
• Older Kid: "I bet you're 40."
• Younger Kid: "No, he's 80!"
• Older Kid: "85!"
• Younger Kid: "No, he's 100!"
• Older Kid: "He's not 100, that's when you die."
________________________________________
In my Sunday School class, we discussed what we would give up for Lent. One eight year old girl said she'd give up homework. I replied that the idea was to give up something she liked. She said, "But I like homework!" A seven year old boy, in the same class, said he'd give up fighting with his brother. I asked if he could give it up for so long. He said, "Well, it's only until next week, so that's ok."
________________________________________
I told my boys, aged 9 and 6, that I wanted to stop and get some hair coloring. My 6 year old asked what color I was getting and why. I told him that it was just to cover my gray and left it at that. They were like kids in a candy store, searching for the "perfect" color. We agreed on one, bought it, and left. That weekend, at church, a lady said she really liked the color of my hair. My 9 year old beamed and said, "Thanks, I picked it out!"
________________________________________
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side), put his hands up like claws, and roar. Step, step, ROAR, step step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. The crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing and was almost crying by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."

What our society has come to believe …



Remember back in the day when you went to an attorney because you needed a will drafted, or maybe you had gotten into trouble and you wanted someone to defend you in court? When lawyers used to be honest, hard working officials of the court, with a duty to protect the innocent and prosecute the guilty?

Well those days are over – today people sue in order to gain fortune and try to make their life easy. Remember back in 1992 when an elderly lady sued McDonald's (and won $2.9MM) because she spilled the cup of hot coffee on her lap after buying it? I am not saying that lawsuit started all of this – but that’s when I began noticing the absurdity of frivolous lawsuits. Below are a few examples of lawsuits actually filed in courts over the last few years – along with the outcome of the lawsuit.

Man sued Budweiser for not getting beautiful women. In 1991, Richard Overton sued Anheuser-Busch, creators of Budweiser, for $10,000. He claimed to have suffered emotional distress, mental injury, and financial loss because drinking beer did not make his fantasies of beautiful women in tropical settings come to life, as he claimed it had advertised, driving him to buy and drink more and more Bud Light. The case was dismissed.

Customer sued dry cleaner for $65MM for lost pants. Roy Pearson Jr, a judge in Washington, tried to bully a family-owned dry cleaning shop by suing the owners for $54 million in damages after they lost his pants. The case demoralized the South Korean immigrant owners of the business and brought demands that the customer be disbarred and removed from office for pursuing a frivolous and abusive claim. Pearson's lawsuit against Custom Cleaners of Northwest D.C. eventually ended with a U.S. District Judge finding for the defendants. Pearson later indicated that he would appeal.

Be careful who you marry. A woman sued her fiancee when he broke off their seven-week engagement. A jury awarded her a total of $178,000 in damages; $93,000 was for “pain and suffering,” $60,000 for loss of income while she pursued this case, and $25,000 for psychiatric counseling. That’s pretty bad, but think about how much he’d be paying if he actually married her…


Thankfully justice came through on this one …


Burn, Baby, Burn. A North Carolina man purchased 24 rare and expensive cigars. Because of their value, he decided to insure them…against fire. The man smoked all of his cigars in less than a month and had yet to make a single payment on his fire insurance. He filed a claim against the insurance company, stating that he had lost his cigars in a “series of small fires.” The insurance company obviously refused to pay, believing that he had simply used the cigars as intended. The man won his case against the insurance company because they failed to specify the type of fire the cigars were insured against. Because they failed to define an “unacceptable fire,” the insurance company accepted the ruling against them and paid the man $15,000 for the cigars he had lost in the “fire.” However, the best part of this story is yet to come. Shortly after the man cashed the check, the insurance company countered and had him arrested on 24 counts of arson. The man was sentenced to 24 consecutive 1-year prison sentences.

Let's not even get into the ridiculous divorce proceedings of recent ... Elin Nordegren getting somewhere in the $250,000,000 - $500,000,000 range because she was dumb enough to marry a professional athlete and think he wouldn't cheat on her? Not saying what he did was right, but come on people - why does she DESERVE (not my word, just what I have been reading in peoples opinions) that kind of money?

What’s this all mean? I see these types of idealistic people all around. So many people believe they are the victims, when true common sense should tell them they are idiots. I don’t know if it’s TV, the Internet, Video Games or what … but why do people believe that if they don’t get what they want out of a situation that it’s someone else’s fault? Why do these people believe they are entitled to things? Is it the media? Is it the politicians? Where does it end? When are people going to begin taking responsibility for their own actions?

The justice system needs to go back to the days of using the Constitution to make their legal decisions. I fully agree that we should update that sacred document to make it valid toward modern day times, but let’s cut out all the B.S. that our government is dealing with and focus on the things in life that matter – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – these are the words of our founding fathers that started this great country that we live in. Our elected officials and courts have much bigger things to worry about than this frivolity – like balancing our budget, improving our schools, reducing crime, and preventing further domestic terrorism.

Building a new home - the worst experience ever!



Have you ever thought that it would be so cool to build your own home? Well stop thinking that!
Yes you get everything you want – the way you want it, but think real hard if you want all the headaches that go along with building a new home.
Now there are those home builders that slap houses together 50 at a time and probably have figured out how to make things look sufficient – but my wife and I didn’t want to just have another home that looks like the rest of the neighborhood. So we decided to build a custom home. Every little design detail was looked at and analyzed to setup the layout the way we wanted it. Then – since we weren’t going with your average home builder (Pulte, Lennar, etc) and choosing our own custom builder (McDonald Construction) we had the pleasure of picking out every last little detail for both inside and outside the home, down to every little door knob pull and shade of stain on the wood floors. All I have to say is if you stay married through this process, along with having a baby in the middle of it – you will be married forever! Now when I say pleasure – it was a nightmare – especially for the guy involved. No man should ever have to go through that – picking out different shades of carpet, paint, stain, etc … God love my wife, but I just don’t have the eye for that stuff, nor the patience.

Anyway – we finally finished picking everything out and construction started. This is where I really got excited. Stopping by the site EVERY DAY to see progress – and make sure things were being done to our satisfaction. We started last September – oh which ended up being the rainiest month of the year – and dealt with one set back after the other … our chances of being in by Christmas weren’t looking good. We suffered through the better part of four months living in a townhouse while we watched the progress of the house continue. Along come January and we were finally making our plans to move in on 1/29. With less than a week left, our mortgage company had issues, upon issues. Whether it be verifying income or trying to figure out how we were paying for closing costs, you name it, it happened. The stress alone was a killer – I just thank the lord our baby was already here! So we finally close on the house and are doing our final walk through with the builder and finding little things here and there that we want touched up – to the point that we are pointing out obvious issues with crooked walls, scratches on appliances, dents and scratches in the cabinets where the wood floor guys used a crowbar to pry their boards into position. All things that should have been addressed – but weren’t. What I found is that when you build a home – one subcontractor doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the others involved. The carpet guys dragged the rolls of carpet over the freshly enameled woodwork – leaving scratches everywhere. There were 1/8” gouges in our center island left by the guy sanding and staining the floors, baseboards were rammed into by something … all of which no one bothers to fix. So as we go through our walk through – the Project Manager has the balls, we’re talking major cahones, to tell us we are being too picky. Really?? We just spent an enormous amount of money on a brand new home – in the midst of a recession (maybe someone forgot to tell him us building this home means he can continue to take three week fishing trips) – and he has the balls to tell us we are being too picky about wanting it to look perfect before we move in. This isn’t some second generation home that we are buying from someone – this is our brand new dream home!

So we get them to “fix” most of the items – of which they agree to do – only to find them not to our liking still after their fixes? Come move in day – and they are still touching things up. So we move in and figure everything can go on our punch list for the 60 day walk through. One way or the other – we will get this the way we want it. Sixty or so days go by and we are making our list – it’s getting long – typed we are up to three pages listing out various things like nail pops (which they sold us that we would never have a problem with since they apply a special procedure – I call B S on that), paint touch ups, dents filled in, floor board creeks, etc. Their Service Manager comes out – walks around, says about five words in total – including when we point out that the columns holding up the front porch are hanging off the footings in some places up to 6-8 inches. Of which – when the ground heaves will twist and buckle our front porch. Their answer – well we can cut off the material (making the columns stand out and scream “CHEAP FIX”) to above the grade. Do they not remember this is a brand new home and we don’t want to look like some white trash ghetto fix’r upper?

Three weeks go by while we are waiting for them to schedule repairs – and they say they would need two days to get everything done. My wife takes the time off work to be home – and we are now on day two … and to date they have only patched a few nail pops and nothing else. No workers are there – nothing’s been settled on the porch. We are not getting any communication from the builder, and are now at the point of calling the owner of McDonald Construction to share our experience.

Whatever happened to the customer is always right? Getting what you paid for? Customer Service? Everything about our experience is marred with these hassles that we will be continuing to go through for months and years to come. I now understand the reaction we got when we told friends and family we were building a house and their only advice or words of wisdom were “Good Luck”!

Stay tuned … this story has only begun. What I can tell you though is – we will never recommend McDonald Construction to anyone again!

Time for some justice!


So they call “ladies of the night” the oldest profession in the world. Seems that women have been using their ASS-ets for a long time to get what they want – be that money, power, jewelry or a new house. Now in modern day times – most law officials (except the wonderful state of Nevada) look at this as a crime. Now I am not saying that I partake, but I just find it funny that websites like www.craigslist.com and www.backpage.com find their loop-holes to continue to support this. Whether the ladies say they provide their “time” and put some lame ass stupid disclaimer that an attorney drafted up for the website – or they provide a “sensual massage”. Heck - last time I went to the spa for a massage, they certainly didn’t offer to tickle me with a feather or rub their chest in my face!

Let’s call a spade a spade folks … this is prostitution. I am not saying that it should be illegal – what a woman does with her body is her business. But, since the law says it’s wrong, let’s prosecute these people and get their culture (pimps, drugs, guns, minors, illegal aliens, etc) off the streets. How many times have we seen on the news about a Craigslist meeting gone bad? How many stings have been run on “massage parlors” to find that most of the women are imported from Thailand and forced to do these types of jobs? What will it take to bring justice? Why can’t women make a decent living doing something like stripping? Nude house cleaning? Or my favorite – the bikini car wash at Hooters.

I know one little rant won’t change the world … but maybe, just maybe someone will call their local authorities to drop a dime on these organizations.

Keeping it real … bald guy out!

Mickey D's Gets Threatened with Suit


McDonald’s was threatened by “The Center for Science in the Public Interest” for handing out toys in their happy meals … the company likens McDonalds to a child molester handing candy out at a play ground. The company claims that “using toys to entice children instills bad eating habits and puts kids at higher risk of developing obesity…”.

http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/22/news/companies/CSPI_sues_McDonalds/index.htm

Here’s one for you … if you don’t want your kid to be overweight … get them off the couch and outside playing a game or heaven forbid, mow the lawn! I don’t remember many overweight kids growing up because we were always moving … not sitting on their butts playing video games all day. There wasn’t a summer day when I was a kid that we weren’t outside -

Kids today are lazy, selfish, and think that they know it all. When I was 12 – if I did something wrong, I knew I‘d get the belt on my bottom … not a “time out”. As a new parent, I am worried for my daughter. What will this society teach her? That it’s ok to not be responsible for your own actions? That when something doesn’t go YOUR way, you just file a lawsuit? I read an article recently about the most “needed” professionals in America and lawyer was in the top 10. Seriously? Why? The answer – because everyone wants the easy button. Staples commercials are hilarious – push a button and everything is better. That is unfortunately what the liberal Nazis of this country believe they should have the “RIGHT” to do. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say anyone has the right to prevent another person from receiving a toy with their Happy Meal! Aren’t there better things that we should be figuring out with our nation, like feeding the starving children, improving our education, reducing the nations dependency on foreign markets, or locking up predatory sex offenders for life?

This world is coming to an end if my child will not have the RIGHTS to get a toy with her chicken nuggets!

15 Minutes of Fame, A Lifetime of Regret


I’ve noticed a rash of recent celebrity downfalls having to do with infidelity – Tiger, Jesse, Spitzer, Gore, Johan, etc. What I find humorous is that in the end how many of these women who have knowingly slept with a married man are just looking for one thing – their 15 minutes of fame! What has this world come to that you need to get your name in some tabloid in order to be popular and get your next big movie/book deal? Since when has being a slut a good thing?

I am not defending the men involved by any means – but these women are looking for one thing out of this (and it ain’t “love”) – MONEY! Look at Jocelyn James (AKA Tiger Babe #11 ). Every time Tiger has a press conference, so does she. She’s hired some high buck attorney to try and work a sweet hush deal to get a big pay out. Seriously – she even went to the extent of saying it ruined her career by dating Tiger (FYI – she was a PORN STAR). She gave up her lifestyle and has threatened suit against Tiger saying she is no longer able to provide for herself since giving up her career. Really? She couldn’t just go make another film? Then there’s Tiger Babe #1 – what’s-her-name-with-the-big-boobs – who reportedly got $10,000,000 to not say anything. Man what a deal!

What has society come to when we get all our news from Entertainment Tonight and The Enquirer? When we think it’s ok to make a living by sleeping with a married man (or woman) and extorting money from them to keep quite? When you have to go on a dating show in order to further your wrestling career (no I didn’t watch the Bachelorette, I saw it on the news)? Why do people think they need this fame?

You can’t tell me that any woman that sleeps with a married man (especially of celebrity caliber) that they think this jerk truly loves them and is going to leave their wife for them? Really? You don’t think that these guys have a chick in every town? That you are the “only” one? Really??? So why make it out to be the biggest story of the century? More so – why do people watch trashy shows that highlight this type of behavior? Entertainment Tonight has been banned in my house – I don’t care to know the latest trash talk. Whatever happened to media covering an interesting story about a cat stuck in the tree and the firefighters that rescued it? Society today thrives on this nonsensical bulls**t and it is making this world a worse place to live.

Remember the days when as a kid you could ride your bike to your friends house? Or better yet, during the summer you could leave the house at 8 am and not have to be home until dinner time without your parents worrying constantly? That doesn’t happen anymore … kids need to be driven everywhere, you give your 9 year old a cell phone so they can text you every 15 minutes with what they are doing and who they are with, and families just don’t sit down at night and watch The Cosby Show. This world has come to a society of creeps, weirdo sex addicts, money grubbing wanna-bes that are looking for the next quick fix.

What happened to working hard for your money and living a “normal” life? Marrying your high school/college sweetheart and actually staying married for 50+ years?

Today’s children are in for a whole new life that our generation (being the 30-40somethings) could never fathom. I say we go back to old ways – make family a priority – and teach values. Not show our kids that it’s someone else’s fault and if they don’t like it, just sue!
