Loving this 50-65 degree weather here

[Babs]

Yeah its so nice for a change. We have storms coming in tonight and tomorrow tho sigh but I can't complain since we need the rain so badly

[Tricia Lea]

Have had the windows open the last 2 days

[Babs]

Yup

Just read an article, Obama is trying to knock off the tax break people get by donating money to organizations that help people http://majorityleader.gov/blog/2011/09/president-obamas-tax-on-soup-kitchens.html

[Babs]

And that surprises you how?

[Tricia Lea]

just seems this country is becoming more for the rich, It already has been but its getting more that way

[Babs]

To me it seems we are headed to the point that they will try to make it so "useless" people (term sick, homeless, elderly) can be put to sleep much as animals already are.

Seems each year they make it just a bit harder to make ends meet. I know it seems a scifi suggestion but its actually more known than people realize. I have been reading stuff on it for years now. A lot of stuff on natural selection.

*sigh*  and the middle class are turning into the poor but still expected to pay all the taxes to support everyone else

[Tricia Lea]

true

seems this country is every man for himself, I was watching a documentary where it was showing a community in South America. They had hardly anything but they pull together and make it. Could you imagine it if a city here in the US was forced to depend on each other for survival

[Babs]

I think all gp'ers need to move to pf's and we can start our own community lol we would tons of chickens and eggs with seth lol

People here don't HAVE to depend on each other anymore.  As the song says, "Everybody's got their own everything."  Everybody's had his own everything for so long that most people don't know their next door neighbor's name.  And most people don't know what it means to be poor either - to eat beans until you're sick of them because that's all you have, to patch your blue jeans because you can't afford to get a new pair, to feed the dog scraps because there's no money for a bag of Purina. 


I think if a lot more people had a lot less it might be the best thing for them.  Many people these days are rude because they can be - they have all they need and most of what they want, why should they care what other people think about them?  If people had to ask for help they'd get to know their neighbors again... they'd have to... and they'd learn to treat others the way they would want to be treated, because they'd find themselves in a position where they want to be treated well by their fellow man.

For sure

Been listening to an audio book the last week that talks alot about natural selection

[Babs]

I'm not opposed to it as long as its the persons choice, not the government. I still laugh that they state it is illegal to commit suicide. I mean how does one enforce that exactly? Lol

[Tricia Lea]

True

so whats the states penalty to those who commit suicide? Bring them back to life and lock them up

[The Purple Fuzzy]

:/

[Babs]

I don't know, I just know one time my sister went to the whacky farm and they made her sign a paper saying she promised not to kill herself and I had to laugh lol that's when they said you do know its illegal right? I was laughing so hard they almost wanted to lock me up instead lol

[Tricia Lea]

Stans best friend was found dead 2 days ago and they were doing an autopsy to rule the cause. They at first were assuming suicide due to his mental health history but figured he just passed out when he hit his head, it wasnt cause of an OD

[Babs]

That's not good
