Contrary to what you may think...

All recent "disasters" can be summed up as human's fault entirely or humans mistakes.

  • Hurricane Katrina: May have been a powerful storm but it was known for quite some time that the levies at New Orleans were sub standard and needed to be made better. Just money was tight and the local government didn't want to fix what hadn't broken yet.
  • The earthquake disaster in Haiti was just shabby construction that didn't take into consideration the local fault line. Like playing Russian roulette with buildings, eventually a big enough earthquake will test the architecture.
  • The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in Los Angeles where the iconic image of the bridge collapse was. Well that image of where the bridge collapsed was on top of land fill area. and when seismic wave travel through loosely packed sandy ground the wave travels faster and more densely, hence a super active wave over top of land fill areas. So another man made catastrophe. Watch the end of this physics lecture and he'll tell exactly how this happened.
  • And last but definitely not least is oil spills in general. The Exxon Valdez, and the gulf of Mexico oil gusher which may never end and we don't know how to fix. These are entirely human made disasters of gigantic proportions, almost as bad as a nuclear bomb in the lasting effects after it happens. Yes we may need oil but these are disasters and they are human made.
  • So with our own self made catastrophes who needs mother nature to kill us anymore.
Jobs are not a good thing. They say "We created thousands of new jobs" But whenever anyone says that I think it's a bad thing and feel regretful. Why? Well it may just be the free market but, a job is something that pays you the bare minimum it can pay you so that you're boss can keep most of the money you earned for him for free. Yes you may become a manager if you're lucky and like stress and responsibility but even that won't make you rich. It will only make you the upper middle class at best and even then you could lose your job.

So if you want to get rich a job is not the way, if you want to keep you head above water to keep from drowning then yes a job is right for you.

It used to be that people could feed and shelter themselves without a job. But now we need our parents or bosses or big government to take care of us and feed and shelter us because we're so codependent that we could never survive with out our parental figures in society. That's why I recently heard a new term on the radio just the other day describing just this. "The Childrenification of America". We now apparently need everything done for us because none of us is an adult and can fend for ourselves. So the gov. is stepping in and taking over everything because we can't do it ourselves.

Not to mention everything the president says is exactly the opposite of what he does.

I for one want to now do what everybody says I shouldn't do, because apparently "it's opposite day", and everything every body says is wrong and the opposite is true. So since everybody says you shouldn't go to Alaska then I'm saying that it must be a pretty good place. It's probably actually a paradise since everybody says it's so cold you'll die and so depressing you'll kill yourself. But that great news! Since everything is "contrary to what you may think! "
