Why America Will Fall One Day; if We don't change!

Written by Linda Mains

Has anyone ever read the book the "Birdcage?" It's a book about a woman who is perceived as a helpless child by her Husband. Whose ideas are silenced and her thoughts are dismissed. Then one day she realizes that her life is passing her by because of her marriage to her dominant and over-barring Husband. So she chose in 1800 and something to dump her man, which was an "all balls out move" on her part. Now here's the sad part for many woman the "dream" still is, for many women; to find a man who will "fix-them" and "all" their problems.

I was born into that antiquated believe system. Personally my soul "cries" freedom from that misconceived idea, that's been dumped on my head; since birth, I might add. So if your soul cries out as a woman for freedom, with all of your family and societal-norms hanging over your head from birth, while these responsibilities and norms have been spoon fed to you your entire life...to make you accept certain things that you were supposed to do threw-out your entire life. Things that might make you feel like you where suffocating under the weight of your own quilt. You’ll suffer from guilt! The guilt that you weren't living up to your full potential as a person in life, basically giving up your entire life to fulfill the wants and needs of a selfish family and a selfish community. But then people like you and me, we became blessed...without knowing it, our forefathers gave people whom didn't want to conform a country where they could dump all their responsibilities and do likewise while living in that country. Can you guess what country I'm talking about? If you guessed the U.S you'd be "RIGHT!"

Now while I was at the Jacuzzi I was watching a group of women with their snot nosed little brats. Most of those women looked; tired, worried (about something), and completely burned out! Then I thought about how tired I was, and all the worry that accompanies being a mom in 2011. Would I be a mom in 2012? Hell-mother-fucking NO! So what would I want to be more? A slave, or, having the very thankless job of raising a snot-nosed-brat whom one day would side with his dead beat father...just like my 19 year-old-son did. I'd probably chose being a slave! Why? Because raising a kid in the U.S today is unspeakably difficult for any mother today, no matter how great her circumstances might be.

Our American society has made it so easy for fathers to leave mothers with the kids these days. Yea, they'll pay what the courts tell them to pay...but, if a dad doesn't make an effort to see his kids. He's really not a farther, that father is more like a ready teller machine. Kids need their dads and their dad’s money. But in the U.S , which has made it oh so easy for dad's to just pick-up and split from the scene. Now that type of mentality (non-caring mentality) really does have a trickle down affect. You’re probably asking me how? Well if you don't even care enough to raise your own kids..."what would you be willing in society to do?" This "help-no-one" except myself mentality, is destroying America and everything about us as a society. It's the, me, me, me, and no-one-else mentality which is really bad and only getting worse here for our society, and we are having an effect on the rest of the world too.

You're probably asking yourself how are; "people that don't care about anyone accept themselves, going to break-down society or the rest of the world?" Lets say you don't live in America, but your broke, and you have a bitchy-fat-wife along with, one to many kids. Lets also say you didn't care about anyone, your wife, your family...or your kids. What would you want to do to escape from your life in chains? Tell me what country would you look to to escape all of your responsibilities? Can you say "America?" These types of irresponsible peoples American-dreams include ditching their responsibilities to their; kid's, parents, siblings, and all their previous friends.

So based on, the dream of "American irresponsibility;" our society is doomed to fail! Why? Because, we are a Nation, where many people, have left other people to die…while leaving them, to live alone without them, in other countries. Either these people, have let someone else raise their kids, or these types of people with this irresponsible mentality; will shove their elderly relatives, parents, or siblings into nursing homes. We have become a Nation of un-compassionate, selfish and irresponsible people... to our loved ones and to our friends. We have become a people, whom don't care about our neighbors, but we have also become a Nation with a population, that only cares about themselves, plus selfishness is the dominating force behind all of our motives. We as a Nation, have also infected other countries; with our selfish doctrine, infecting those same countries with our disease of selfishness, along with a huge lack of empathy, for what anyone else might be going threw, and we salt the selfishness-disease, with our anti-compassionate doctrine. The U.S has given the irresponsible people of the world, a place to dock or escape too. Basically those types of people are escaping any of their life responsibilities at home, by coming to America in the first place.
