We aren't that kind of people

 I have heard it a lot lately. 'We are not the type of people who shot someone because we disagree with them'  Well, we are those people. At least a lot of us are. You often hear of people who shot someone because they cut them off on the free way, or parked in their driveway. Chopped down a tree in the neighbors yard because its' branches over hung our yard. Pushed a head in a line because we wanted to.

Most of us are not like this. We are live and let live people. Obey the rules and respect others. Even those we don't agree with.

But, there is a big enough faction that are selfish, vengeful people. People who just want what they want. People that can not articulate their beliefs but know that you don't agree with them so you are no good.

I think this will only change for the worse. So many people who see how the negative half live and think it would just be easier to follow them. 

It is a sad world we live in.

FYI, I have failed multiple times already. 40 days is just way to long to be good.

In the news

 I heard a news story about a school that was not allowing students to participate in year end activities if all their fees had not been paid. This is not an unusual stance, I've heard it before. It is not right that the children are punished for something they have no control over and the fees still won't be paid/ But, what struck me the most is a parent who said 'this is just showing them that if they don't have money they don't get things'. Um duh. If you don't work and earn money and save for things you want you don't get them. And you shouldn't. What happened to the Americans who worked and expected nothing from anyone. Where did all those people go?
