Man, people with less means, buy their kids this stuff! Not saying it's right, but kids need to have their expectations, LOWERED! Since they are bombarded with the "buy me" advertisements, I can't blame them, for wanting one. When you received $25.00, that amount is equivalent to the high cost of kids things, now. Hell! A Soda cost a nickle, candy bars, chips were all 5 cents! They cost a dollar and upwards, now. Kids now, don't even know what "penny candy", is! > > What do you think?

A snippet: That's why, I'm > not proud to say at the start of another Christmas season, things suck They do and they don't. Depends where you are in the scheme of things. It's up to YOU to be happy, in the Christmas mood, of old. Then be determined to have a Christmas that is more thoughtful, of why the Holiday is celebrated, at all! I used to think, it was the celebration of an ordinary boy, who would do extraordinary things! CNN and FOX are retarded No doubt! They started the divisive Red State/Blue State thing that dredges up North against the South, supposedly decided in 1865! Remember CNN is anchored in Atlanta! Gen. Sherman, was never forgiven for burning it. Even though the South lost the battles, they STILL won the war! All of our military installations, going south. All your rocket boosters, manufactured in the South. Where is NASA? Texas? Where do we take off and land? Florida? During Reconstruction, the Klan was started to let the Blacks know, hey, "we're STILL in charge, of YOU"!

This is to the point of criminal! I think this is perception, in scope! More than 50% of Americans, know exactly what's going on. If the media, which is owned by the Corporations DON'T broadcast public opinion, to protect THEIR bottom line, it is "perceived" that we are asleep and accept the status quo! Were it not for the internet and listener sponsored media, we'd really be "Dumb N Dumber"! Those who seek the truth, find it! That stuff is so > Greatest Generation.
