A comment on Corbin Dallas' blog...about black and white people.

People will beat up Obama no matter what he says about race. We are a nation of touchy touchy touchy and very touchy people on that subject. We make these Bridge Between the Races Children choose one shoreline. My son was allowed to have the friends that he chose naturally from his neighborhood and... Sign in to see full entry.

What is everyone talking about???!??

As I drive to and from Mom's house and the grocery store, less now than before gas went up, I see absolutely everyone in America on a cell phone, talking. They are walking and shopping for groceries and talking, walking in the park and talking, holding hands with a girlfriend and talking, waiting at... Sign in to see full entry.

Bill Moyers sure had fun attacking McCain this a.m.

He says that he has linked up with the devil's schedule planner, a reverend whose name I have luckily forgotten. I listened to that reverend fellow once and had to laugh out loud. All of the candidates attack each other and now, I figure that by the conventions, we shall throw them all out and pick... Sign in to see full entry.

Police dump quadraplegic out of his wheelchair. I am so proud of us.

What the h#!@#%!%!%$ #???!?!?!? I think that the Congress not condemning torture has sort of flashed the red flag in front of the bulls and they are running wild through society now. Shame on us. I hope that all countries read that news item and that all Americans realize that this is our image in... Sign in to see full entry.

Brasil has paid off its external debt.

Maybe, Lula could teach the US some lessons.....quick before Japan and China call our loans and refuse us anymore...... Democrats tax and tax and spend and spend and Republicans borrow and borrow and spend and spend. Same things as far as I can see. Its the spending and spending part that makes me...

Grandma is giving away her television sets. That's it......done.

The Golden Age of Television is gone for the most part and I just get upset with it all. Best to not hear, not see, not know...... Henry David Thoreau said that if something really important happened, that some neighbor would run all the way to his place in the woods to tell him and that would be... Sign in to see full entry.

Mexican kidnappings going up in the U.S.

I would have mandatory sentencing in this country only for one crime, kidnapping. It is popular with some people now, and I remember when the Viet Namese did it lots. I hear that it goes in and out of popularity..... I would put the people in prison forever. What they do to families, to the victims,... Sign in to see full entry.

The news reported that Americans are filling the ICE caused job openings,

the Ice Pockets, I'm calling them. Well, it ain't so. The jobs ARE being taken by Legal people, legal workers, ie. refugees and legal immigrants, but gringos are NOT flocking to work in the fields in Willcox, Arizona, nor in the meat packaging plants around the USA. If I want to know where the... Sign in to see full entry.

Where have all the old laws gone, long time passing, where have all the old

These times make me sing the old 60's songs more often. I look for social justice, corporate responsibility, neighborhood morality, parental responsibility, global kindness, well, you know, the whole bleating heart agenda (yes, I wrote bleating. I used to bleed over the issues, now I am reduced to... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I wondered if anyone was reporting from the frontlines of American Society, embedded with the poverty stricken and reporting on what happens each day when you live in the greatest country on earth and earn enough to survive and not much else. I wondered if anyone was explaining America to others and thought that, since I was already embedded in this ongoing cultural experiment, I might tell what it's like.
