It does not matter how much you have, stupidity follows you all your life!!

Why does this country have such an infatuation with people who have more then most of us will see in a lifetime? Case in point! - Lindsay!! The only reason I mentioned her is that she is in the news again, for violating her parole!! A person that has a ton of money, but for reasons that I can only mark down to stupidity, or maybe arrogance, is acting like a fool!!! Like so many others in the spotlight, instead of being satisfied with their millions which came to them with not much hard work at all, they act like we owe them something and we should feel sorry for them! That is like giving our thanks to the idiots on wall street for taking our money so we don't have to pay taxes on it!!! SHEER STUPIDITY!!

Does anyone have integrity anymore?

It used to be much easier to be able to trust people! Integrity was always a facet of one's character which people used to be proud to have! Somewhere along the way the integrity factor was lost, either on purpose or something learned! Allot of people that I meet now think it is weird if you are honest all the time!; what has happened? It seems to me that many people think that it is fine to act anyway and say anything just so long as their interests are fulfilled! And the sad fact is that this kind of behavior is across the board, even those that used to be thought of as people to look up to. INTEGRITY, does this word still mean anything to people?!

What has happened to us?

What has happened to America? It seems that all or most of the problems we have are caused by a lack of one or all of the labels below. It seems to be true what I heard from my parents years ago; 90% of work is done by 10% of our work force! No where is this more evident then in the automobile industry! I have heard and seen of workers taking items, and even almost building vehicles from parts that have been gotten but not paid for! To many people have the opinion that "if no one finds out it is OK"!! Now I know this happens in other industries but I am just speaking here by what I know first hand! When did it become the norm in this country to NOT do what is right, just what makes us money or some other gain?? Why is it that when we meet someone with good morals or integrity, we think is so unusual? From stealing pens at the office to stealing parts or tools at the plant to taking anything that does not belong to us; this now is the way allot of society operates!! I would think after the huge things that have happened with the economic system that people would change, that is truly my hope!!
