Our Times In America

Written by Linda Mains

Life is oh-so-serious these days. Back in my parent’s time, the worst thing you had to worry about was what dude you were going to marry. Now...you have to have a B.A in life, to survive it. I see the hustle that "everybody", and I do mean "everybody" is trapped in these days. It sucks! Back in the 80's, when hair bands and random sex partners, where still cool, no one really had any cares; maybe, they might have had the occasional coke addiction back then, but everybody was making money back in the 80's. That’s not the case now...if you have a shity job these days, you feel blessed to have it. I know, I represent, that unfortunate group. My job could be great...but...it's not! Those are the facts in my life, and the facts in many other Americans life’s as well. I really do love all the people that I meet at work, but, I still do run into the occasional asshole, but generally speaking, most of the people that I deal with at work on the daily, aren't complete douche bags.

It seems to me, that no matter how far we seem to strive, we as a people and a Nation, are taking hundreds of steps backwards, in creating decent jobs, that actually make decent living wages. Wages that will allow us, to pay our rent, and bills. I'm not talking about a Wall Mart job, where you'll be lucky to have 10 cents, after paying your rent. How can I tell you guys this about Wall Mart, it's because, one of my ex-pot-growing-boyfriends whom grew pot...had his crops snatched by a thief...that’s when he freaked out; after which he decided, that before he got busted for being a grower, he'd do the honorable thing, and get a high paying (NOT!) job at Wall Mart. He worked 30-40 hours a week there, and he had 10 dollars left after he paid his rent. That's a great job...well isn't it? Where you work your ass off, and you still can't pay your bills, or buy your baby dippers.

Sometimes, I really wonder if our country has set things up, so that we as a people are pre-destined by the Fed's to fail? We have Well Fare in this country, now even I realize that this is and was a disaster of an idea. So if you're an unlucky parent, whom has fallen in hard times, we who then decides that Well Fare is an option. After you get on Medical...the Fed's who gave you the money in the first place, will hunt you down to the ends of the world, to get what they consider to be their money. Yes they will even charge you interest, on what they believe you owe them. Now here's my thing about medical and paying someone’s rent; so that little children don't go homeless. If the Fed's really wanted to help poor people out, they would make it easy for them to find jobs to get off well fare. Something the Fed's haven't done yet. Why? Because a lot of people are social workers working for the Goverment and if those people were ever to go and become self-reliant, then those social workers and others whomm work for the D.S.S ro the Department of Social Services...a lot of people would lose their bread and butter or they would find themselfs laid off. Will they ever make Well Fare something that empowers people? Only time will tell.

So one night, while my father and I were watching TV, I was watching a documentary about two guys whom tried to blow some shit up. Yes...I do care, and yes, I do like to hang out with my dad sometimes. So anyway, this documentary was about a crazy Democrat, whom was over the top with being all about protesting and Anarchy. Don't ask me to remember his name, this post isn't for CNN. I'll continue on, so the Fed's had an undercover agent, whom just happened to be the leaders of this wanna be terrorist organization.

No, really! I'm not joking! So this defunct anti social leader, turned snitch to the fed's, whom I believe was just plain crazy...taught these guy's, everything that he knew about being crazy. These two dumb asses...totally fell for this scum-bags driple and bull-shit, hook line and sinker. So they started to plan to blow something up at a Republican convention. Why? Because of all the wonderful guidance they had received from the Fed's undercover agent. So of course, right before they blew shit up, with two mallitauf cocktails a.k.a home made bombs. These idiots made these bombs from ingredient’s that they bought from a local hardware store, which was all caught on the in store camera. The Fed's showed up and arrested those two guys (big surprise there), both whom where only in their early 20's, and where highly impressionable...by this slick wanna be anti-social-wanna-be-terrorist. So what do you guys think happened to those two young guys? Well one got 4 years, and the other got 5, after making a plea bargain with the fed's, which said yes they were guilty of being in a terrorist plot, but that they weren't the master minds behind the plot. The plot was actually created by the Fed's informent. The informant/terrorist, got away Scott clean. Does that seem fair to you? I'm not really into, over the top, tree-hugging Democrats...but, I hate to see the not so innocent being railroaded. While the real master mind of this plot escaped justice, and was helped out by the Fed's. Now that's government at its finest.

It's not like those two idiots, are the only people, whom have been totally screwed by the Federal government. When your number, or shall I say social security number is up; the Feds have free range to fuck with anyone they want. You, I, or anybody...all thanks, to our very own Homeland Security people. Homeland Security was supposed to keep terrorists from other countries out of the U.S, but all it's really done...is to target anyone with any ideas, that the homeland security people deem to be readical. That's totally insane! What about the right to protest? What about the freedom of speech people? How do those things happen, when your every move is being watched by the Fed's? Basically they have tags in America, on any group that gathers, that they deem as threats, and for the most part they have targeted American groups. What are the Fed's really afraid of? So does anyone really believe...that the bill of right's, really has any value in 2012; when two guys can be rail roaded, by the testimony of the leader of a anti-social-terrorist group, whom was an undercover agent/anarchist for the Fed’s? If you think you'd get a fair trial after something like that, you had better think again. It was funny to while I watched this documentary, but, the prosecutor for the Fed's said in the documentary...."this is the first time, that I've had to go threw a re-trial on any case." Even though the main witness, to all of these terrorist acts was the leader and master mind of the group, and the one who was pushing these two idiots to act on his ideas. All I can say, is no one is safe, from the power and might of a machine that powerful...we had all better watch our steps with the Fed's and Homeland Security around.
