The Chinese ties and stuff don't bother me but selling a part of our history as a country does bother me...The dog gone government can by some goofy bic pens for a meeting of the house and spend something totally outrageous for the ink pens that cost squat to buy, and I could have bought them myself & paid for them and delivered them for squat, compared to what they paid for 25 ink pens!!!! Tens of thousands of wasted dollars..Thats where there money is going flaunting it around like it grows on trees pay crazy expensive prices for things that should be dealt with just like we do... by what you need and don't be so bloody extravagant! Its a bloody pen for crying out loud not6 the hand of God!

I am in a bad spot as I just shipped my baby off into the military and I am really on the fence over it.. I know we all need to defend our countries ... but when it is your baby... and he just turned age to vote.. now they are going to train him to kill someone.. and take the life of another human being.. The repruccussions are horrible... He will never be the young man I raised.. again... They just take them so young... they always have.. I hate it I hate it at any age.... I am just getting to be an old bitter women when it comes to the government..They control everything else children working discipline which is good for the most part.. , but yet they can take a young children so impressionable and go to their schools and recruit them for killing.. and thats not abuse... NEVERMIND.. I sent him away yesterday and it still hurts......

My mom is different, she's really excited about Don going into the navy, right now he's at the academy...just because they joined doesn't mean they will kill people. There's hundreds of jobs that veer from that path.
