Going Long

What is up with all this talk about Asia? I feel like the topic of people moving over to Asia has come up repeatedly over the last couple of days. It makes me wonder if this is just like the situation where you start liking a specific car, then realize more of the same car is on the street and that people are also driving the same thing. I got to admit it makes me feel a bit uneasy. Is it a sign or has it been happening already, but I just starting to notice it now? Whatever it may be, it makes me a bit sad.

Now the "what if". I been wondering at lot of random "what if". Nothing spiritual or enlightening, but garbage thoughts.

1. What if there is affirmative action in sports? You can't deny that sports such as basketball, football, or even baseball lack diversity. It is a profitable business and yet limited in entry to that field. Some people are disadvantage since their environment deter the idea to work on sports.

2. What if people started to demand honest journalism? Imagine if we stop tolerate the crap news and bias opinions that are shown in the media today. Maybe we can really get the truth versus celebrate all the media hype. If to sit back and look, the media shape some many people's minds and some may not even know about it.

3. What if we do good for the sake of a group versus for the individual? I didn't understand this until I grew older. I think the world has become more about the "I" versus the "We". It is sad really, because how we treat each other and what we receive is the result of that shift in thinking.

Well I only have three that I can remember right now. Now it is out of my system. If I have to be harsh, I have to say that all the struggle that we are going through is something that we bring upon ourselves. I can look at all this and say I am sad for what it is happening, but then I can also say we need this to get some people back to earth. I see "entitlement" all over the place and even despite all the crap that been going on, there are still people with the same attitude. Let strip out all the fortunate things that were given, then see how a person character is truly illustrated in a time like this. It is just too bad we have a government that want to give to people even though they did not contribute. For example, where is the extra tobacco tax going to? This land is not about the land of opportunity and freedom anymore. It is about something where what you do really count a little less each day. It is not about what you do, but about how much you can get away with not doing.

Well enough bitching. More sleeping. Time will tell if this angry man is right or if he is just mental.
