Two Kinds of Americans

  Lately, it’s been more than difficult to watch the news and it is becoming even harder to bear witness to our country’s slow and agonizing destruction. It is as if we are passengers on a plane that has been hijacked by a group of intruders who resemble nothing American, and we are sitting in our seats, mouths agape, in utter shock and disbelief that we put ourselves on this freefall flight to oblivion.   While it is true that our current government has accentuated the lines of class warfare and amplified racial divide, an even more ubiquitous divide currently exists in this country. It exists not only in our government, but also in our towns, our schools, within our businesses, amongst our corporate executives, entrepreneurs, welfare recipients, and even in our own families. This division is a deeply held and indelibly formed bias embedded within the psyche of every American. It is a personal worldview conceived within the constructs of one’s childhood, life experiences, and beliefs; one that either subconsciously or consciously views America as a valiant defender of freedom and gracious world leader, or an intrusive, arrogant bully that imposes itself on the rest of the world. Evidently there are Americans who truly believe they are victims of somebody, a mindset that fuels the drive to get the guy responsible for their predicament, one unequivocally exhibited by the...

Ethics

The ideas behind these anti-Walmart accusations are pointing at ethics, not law. Ethics is opinion based, so what one finds unethical another may find acceptable. Personally, I believe convenience is only a blessing to a certain extent, and Walmart is taking it to a level that is not in everyone’s best interest. The comment about the average family saving over $2k a year is arguable. IHS Global Insight came up with that number in a research effort (funded by Walmart), and it actually does not refer to people who shop at Walmart…it refers to non Walmart shoppers as well. The idea was that Walmart has driven down prices and everyone saves. There is a catch, however. The research refers to people who spend at least $83k a year on shopping. Further analysis of this research shows that a family who makes the median income in the US (~$51k) saves only $640. This is still a good thing at face value, but there was a very important factor that wasn’t part of the formula. Walmart’s wages have driven down wages at large retailers as well. If everyone is selling products for less, that means everyone is reducing overhead. My point is that Walmart does not necessarily save our economy anything. To be perfectly honest though…there really isn’t a whole lot of viable unbiased research on the matter, so anyone who...

A baby in the womb is a human being

A baby in a mother’s womb has it’s own fingerprints, gender, and DNA, is a body unto itself, and a human being worthy of respect and dignity. It can also survive outside the womb at a very young age in an incubator. It’s heart can be detected at 4 weeks. Aborting that baby is stopping that heart and ending it’s life. A woman has a choice to not partake in an act that will potentially result in new life. She is fully aware of this possibility and can choose to do what she wants with her body knowing in advance this risk she is taking. I am a woman with an intellect and I have seen the devistation that legalized abortion has had on this country since 1973. Morally we have been spiralling downward in a freefall. Millions of babies have suffered and died because of this infanticide we are choosing to keep legal. I am thankful for my life that my biological mother chose to give me in 1964. She accepted the consequences of her actions, left college and went to live with her doctors assistant when she was in her 6th month of pregnancy, and quietly gave me up for adoption to a loving couple, my mother and father. She made many people, especially me, very happy. We have an awesome relationship now. What a selfless, loving,...
