What kind of jackass goes water skiing with a $20,000 watch on his wrist? We REALLY do need a change of values around here.

From Katrina victims wondering where their handout is, to FBs playing the victim card, to everyone and their dog selling their soul to every get rich quick vendor in sight, to Barry Bonds cheating his way to an all time record, Americans have lost the spirit that used to make this country so great. That is, we USED to work hard, save up, take risks and accept the consequences if our endeavors failed. We USED to do things for ourselves, instead of collectively holding our hands out, looking for someone else to do things for us. Nowadays we just want to know what the government will do to eliminate the effects of our own laziness and bad decisions.

Wasn’t it Jimmy Carter who once said that for the first time in America’s history, the majority of Americans think the next four years will be worse than the last four years? Man, our next four years (and the forty after that) are going to be rough.
