How lucky we are here in Central, MA to have some of the greatest hospitals and doctors in the world just a short train ride away. How exciting and nostalgic to buy my ticket with my 7 year old along side of me for a relaxing ride to the historic city of Boston, MA. Though once I get there I often wonder why I just didn't stay home.
Sure the harbor is pretty and the building are grand, but the people, oh the people. My lanky little son, only 7 begs "Excuse me" as he makes his way past towering adults shoving and pushing him out of the way with nasty looks on their faces as if our very existence is an insult to theirs.
Maybe it was my son's politeness or his tiny stature that insulted their normal day of rudeness and entitlement. Isn't it New Yorkers that are supposed to be rude? I have to admit the most recent times I have spent in New York I have found the people to be quite respectful and kind. Without the arrogance that Bostonians seem to have dripping from their chins.
Boston, MA is now up to 15 experiences in this year alone that have been rude, cruel and abusive. It took all my energy not to treat the people I had the misfortune of having contact, with the same arrogance and harsh selfishness that my son and I were treated with. But I refuse to become crude and ill mannered as the twenty and thirty something former alterna-teens that I ran into. Wear your IPods, your black glasses and your ALDO shoes purchased from your retail meeting grounds, but be sure that your money certainly hasn't been able to purchase you any sort of decency.

Workers Have Missed the Boat
Bail outs again? What for this time? I have heard the lies stating that these large amounts of money were necessary to keep people employeed, yet after recieve these large sums of money, corporate offices for the majority of these organizations closed down stores all over the country and in some of the most employment deprived areas. How is this legal after taking the money? Well, the didnt actually fire anyone, they closed down stores so the people who make all of the money get to keep all of the money and the working man whose taxes were bestowed upon these disgustingly rich people, were able to keep their second and third mansion homes, while the working man is out of a job and most likely headed for forclosure.
Americans didnt vote this in, but the government did it anyway. American workers didnt benefit at all from the bail outs, yet they still paid for them. Americans in fact bent over and took it again as the US government put millions of people in peril to make sure a select few continue live abundantly lavish lifestyles.
Also, Clinton was impeached for what again? Was it a situation that stemmed from his personal life? He lied? Was that the problem? I guess he just didnt play the game the right way because the adminstration that followed him not only lied, but the cheated, stole and destroyed. But hell they made their friends rich so I guess that will suffice. Is it really survival of the fittest, when it is the fittest who are being bled dry on a daily basis while those who havent worked a day in their life keep taking what isnt theirs?
This is quite a frightening time in American history because the captian no longer goes down with the ship. He now cuts a hole in the bottom of the boat while all his shipmates are sleeping, takes the lifeboat that fits everyone, but keeps it only for himself and leisurely floats to shore as he listens to his men die in agony and fear as they scream for help. Shameful. I guess maybe Great Britian was right.

Are They Serious?: Interesting Comparison
Are They Serious?: Interesting Comparison: "When Americans watch movies like Inglorious Bastards or any other WWII drama, it is safe to say it is true they believe they mostly identify..."
Interesting Comparison
When Americans watch movies like Inglorious Bastards or any other WWII drama, it is safe to say it is true they believe they mostly identify with the hero in the story. With the current media enforced opinion that seems rampid throughout the internet I have to say that isnt true. One of the most disturbing is the belief that the mistreatment of the overweight individual is an ok thing. To poke fun, call names and even degrade an adult or child seem to be perfectly acceptable.
In fact at the Leominster, MA kidsfest I witnessed a woman looked at a child (who is overweight) and call him a "fat-ass". I still cant seem to not feel disgusted when I remember it. Imagine an adult in her thrities, looking at a 5 year old little boy and feeling confident in saying that to him, in front of a group of people. Everyone stool silent and shocked, although I said loudly, "What a piece of low rent crap she is." But I didnt get a response. The child without a doubt heard her and will never be the same.
Is this where society has evolved too? The outward mistreatment of children as young as 5 and no one saying anything. Well I for one think it is time for adults to start learning their manners and it is up to decent people to teach them.
Being overweight does not give anyone the right to attack verbally or physically in any way. That is just common decency, but I have seldom found the common practice of decently in these past few years.

Dont Underestimate the Power of Stupidity
This morning Dr. Oz decided he was going to ask teenage girls what they knew about sex. Their parents were listening by not visible. Aside from the horror of hearing about teenage boys having sex with children as young as 11 years old, the shock at the complete ignorance of these girls was astounding.
One girl asked if she could get pregnant from anal sex. Quite moronic and enlightening that 16 year old girls are engaging in anal sex before they even learn to enjoy vaginal sex. There are numerous studies and testomonies that prove teenagers girls do not physically enjoy sex on the same level as they would in their twenties. With the comments of these teenage girls that is more that solidified.
There was no talk of closeness and pleasure, just wanting to belong or get attention. The also stated that the negative aspect of sex was pregnancy, but had little to no opinion on STDs. One girl made a comment that she didnt know anyone with STDs and knew that she was safe. Hysterical and frightening as she could be a carrier of many different diseases and continue to pass them on "unknowingly" for years.
Many more idiotic comments continued from the forum, but the worst was when the mothers came out. These are women in their thirties, fourties and some fifties. Comments from the moms like, "It is what it is; We are best friends; How am I supposed to talk to her when Im embarrassed?" Were shameful and revealing. How can these young girls be informed when the people they are supposed to learn from are completely ignorant themselves? It makes it impossible.
It is about time to stop concentrating on all this social fluff that continues to congest our society and notice that the youth of today are sinking deeply into a cold, dark pool of stupidity and dont seem to be concerned. Ignorance wont be bliss when a teenage girl finds out she is sterile at 19 because she has had clamidia since she was 14 and never knew. There is a level of responsibility not being met by the parents here. It is important to talk to your kids, but it is just as important to make them aware of how dangerous and stupid it is to be engaging in illicit sex with random partners constantly and without protection of any kind. The media needs to over sexualize every situation in order to keep selling the products that keep their partons wealthy, so allowing children to look to television in order to learn anything is moronic (not including sesame street).
If parents were as concerned about their childrens education as they are about their clothes it could considerably reduce the plague of stupidity that is spreading in epidemic proportions. However the moms seem to be as ignorant as the teens and concentrating their focus on whatever falls into the category of "cool" for the time being. It is bad practice to be more concerned about superficial attributes then the conscience, dignity and intellectual ability of a child. If knowledge is power then the United States could be easily defeated by the weakest of villians and in record time. the only true shock is that it is the United States itself aiding in its youths demise.
