Hate. Why is there so much uninformed hate. Shouldn’t we in the 21 Century be past all that instead of reverting backward. Children paid $1900 to swim at a pool and then were told they were not good enough to be there. !950s south? No, 21 Century North. Racism and hatred needs to die a quick death. North, south, east or west it is time we coexisted and seen another person for who that individual is. Only love can conquer hate:)Another good one,the only thing to fear is fear itself.

What matters to me most is the dehumanization I’m seeing in our culture. Our cyber-world is here to stay, but because we’re spending ever more time at our computers, on our Blackberries, tweeting and texting and downloading, we’re spending less and less time actually interacting with each other. As I look at discussion threads on many blogs, or reader response posts in many newspapers and online journals, I see that the anonymity of technology often leads to snarky, mean, ill-conceived and thoughtless comments, and a lack of both sympathy and empathy. I read Robert Putnam’s wonderful book Bowling Alone a few years back, and heard him speak, and thought he was eerily prescient back then. Now the situation is even worse, and at a time when community and empathy are more important than ever.

I’m also concerned lately about the ongoing issue of health care in this country, and am looking forward to some substantive debate - and, I hope, real change - in this area. It is long overdue, and it will be a tough fight.

There are so many other issues going on in today’s world but WOW won’t post those articles.  They give us places as these to share our throughts and feelings knowing they would get lost or over shadowed. 

Times are tough - stores like fas mart are being robbed almost 2 to 3 times a day, different stores, so now the store owners are arming themselves with guns.  Just yesterday a robber came in and robbed a fas mart type convenience store & a customer shot the robber before he was able to shoot the clerk working…

Then what about the family in Florida who was killed, do they really have their killers in custody? 

Or about the 3 inmates who escaped from a maximum secruity prison?  Yes lets bring some GITMO prisoners there!  It seems like 1 of the 3 have been caught!!  That is a good thing!

Then why a $1950 check was returned to a day care after their kids played one day at the Valley Club?  How awful for those kids…to be scared at such an early age.

 

In this rural community,lawlessness, corruption, kkk, prejudice is alive and well. Homes are torched for speaking out,lives threatened, courts used as a tool to punish your ethics. Cover up in drug trafficking, car chop shops, promoted by “so called” local, state government. This is their lifestyle,outsiders not welcome . You have to ask the question,why would this government tolerate and cover up unless they were involved themselves. Power overrules justice. Greed has become the norm. This is a closed community of folks that cannot speak out, fear, intimidation and uneducated keeps them afraid. 60% do not graduate high school. Welcome to the real world in the USA. This has become their way of life. Accepted it and ask nothing in return. No hope for change,just another day of keeping your mouth shut. Government, FBI,you would think would be interested, overlook the obvious. Add this to the list of lists what is wrong with our bureaucrats. I speak out, wake up each day wondering when these thugs show up at my doorstep. I’ve been told to move and walk away, how many folks can give up everything in this economy. Start over? Its not just me,its other horror stories that need to be told too. The stories are real,yet unbelievable. I’ve been told this doesn’t happen in the USA. Really? Guess again
