THINGS I FIND JUST DUMB. AND A I’M SORRY FOR MISSING WEEKS OF OTHER BLOGGERS POSTS.

I was not up to par and missed many of my favorite bloggers,  Sorry to them and ME!!!

COMMERCIALS

I actually hate all of them but some really bug me.

• The Subaru one with the crashed car, where they keep saying everyone lived.  Now I love Subie’s but this one brings back horrible memories of when my son rolled my new car multiple time and ended up in a water filled ditch. When I went to the car trash lot to see if I could recover anything that was the first question I was asked, really creepy.  Car died, son fine (seat belts and air bag).

• Cadillac one with the give talking about American values and how hard we work comparing us to Europe, I will not bother to list all the stupid things about it.  It’s just wrong.
• Cereal..we have a major obesity problem in the US and these are just candy for breakfast.  What happened to non sugar-coated shredded wheat cereal or any non sugar-coated cereal.  What happened to regular oatmeal, my favorite.
• Fast food that compare themselves to real food.  Exactly what is Alaskan white fish.  Whitefish (fisheries term), a fisheries term referring to the flesh of many types of fish.  So do you really know what’s in that FRIED fish sandwich you just bought.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN….

• Democratic Government: is by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.   WE REALLY DON’T HAVE THIS.
  
• Autocracy: a form of government in which a country is ruled by a person or group with total power.  THIS IS MORE AND MORE HOW THE US IS BEING RUN, NOT BY THE PEOPLE BUT BY THE EXTREMELY WEALTHY WHO GETS OFFICIALS ELECTED BY SUPER PACs.  CASE IN POINT, CORPORATIONS ARE NOW PEOPLE…SUPREME COURT RULING
• Parliamentary Government: a system of government having the real executive power vested in a cabinet composed of members of the legislature who are individually and collectively responsible to the legislature
• Socialism:   any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of good.   THIS IS HOW THE US MILITARY IS RUN AND  SPORTS LEAGUES (YES FOOTBALL)

  FOOD WE EAT

• We don’t find out for twenty years or so that the food (fresh, frozen and canned) has really bad stuff in it that causes cancer, birth defects etc.
• GMO’s not allowed in most of Europe but fine for us.  Clue, something might not be healthy for us.  Remember DDT.
• Food in Europe taste better!!!!!

EVOLUTION VS CREATIONISM

• Yes, you can believe in both but the people who reject evolution when there is fact vs just belief, I just don’t get this.
• People are becoming dumber for rejecting science and it shows in US test scores compared to the rest of the world.

US SCHOOL SYSTEM

• We have removed music and art education in most schools, why supposedly it takes time from real education, really, really.  I can’t say anything more because  might have a stroke.
• Removing cursive writing from schools. Why?
• Removing Physical Education.  Why?  Because we have more obese children than ever and that’s a good thing.  Back in the dark ages when I was in school we had it, in Elementary each day of the week was set up for a specific activity, Monday and Tuesday sport of the season, Wednesday was dance, variety, Thursday gymnastics, Friday was free day to do what ever you wanted from the 4 prior days, Public School.  Middle School changed by term. Senior High general PE, Sport or those of us (me included) who took advanced PE which was really tough.

Going to stop!!!

I love this song!

I’M CHANGING MY RINGBACK SONG

Right now instead of hearing my phone ring while waiting for me not to answer (yes I meant not because I never know where the phone is),  you hear “Bridge Over Troubled Waters”.  My sister sings it back as her message but with the words she learned in Chorus, which were wrong (neither of us should ever sing in public) or she makes up a song to the tune of “Oklahoma” which is where I currently live.  I sent her a text to tell her I was going to use her singing as my ringback song, I didn’t call because the screeching would damage my ears.

I’m just mean that way.

NEWS ON REALLY DUMB STUFF

Night after night I got to listen to what Miley Cyrus was doing.  Acting really crazy.  Now it’s Justin Beiber.   Why, they aren’t news, news is politics, War, what’s occurring where I live, not these “celebrities” acting stupid.   They really aren’t important and they would be better off if they were ignored and treated like the rest of us.

A Must for Thanksgiving Listening

Elegy for the fallen

I posted this because I had just lost a wonderful family member and I sounded like I felt.  This is how most feel when they lose someone close through death or lost relationship.
