Am I confused, or is this country I love and live in not being torn apart by tornadoes, floods and fire? Are we not trillions of dollars in debt? Can we even properly take care of our precious Soldiers and Marines, who are being sacrificed as fodder to further fill the coffers of the greedy.

I don't hear the word FEMA being uttered from the lips of the sheep herding media, while citizens of "this" country are dead, both physically and emotionally because of catastrophes they have had no control of.

People don't realize it, but every time nature vents her rage upon this country, they should be saying, "cha-ching" with an exclamation mark. The same thing they should have said when the Twin Towers were hit. Since then, there has been a slow, secretive, economic decline in this country, that has finally come to touch upon the majority of the people of our nation; causing a re-adjustment of their finances and a redused quality of life.

Why doesn't our government stop decieving the people of this country, and as far as that goes, the rest of the world. We are no longer the great and wealthy nation of yesteryear. We are on the brink of bankruptcy. And while We The People will be without jobs, homes, food, gas, and educations, the conveniently wealthy will be living in Dubai.

Uh...did someone say something about the Corp of Engineers being sued for stuffing newspaper in the holes of the levees of New Orleans since the Katrina disaster?? Where was the funds for "that" project? In fact, when is the enormity of that once beautiful city going to be acknowledged and rebuilt? In fact again, has FEMA come to the completed aid of the residents of the devastated areas of this country since the Super Tuesday Tornado Outbreak just this past February?

I watch CNN and their heart wrenching videos of dead children lying in now contaminated water and I cry and I pray. I do the same for the people of China. But I also cry and pray for my own people who have lost their lives, hopes and dreams; who know not where to start again to rebuild a future for themselves or their families.

I don't mean to sound unfeeling and inhumane. But when we can't take care of our own home, how can we take care of others.
The world is in chaos, while commercials are being shown of Lexis, Cadilacs, BMWs, Jamaica and Sandal's beaches. Those commercials are directed at.....who?
