Free America

There was a time in this great nation when nearly eveyone living in it worked for themselves, owned their own business or produced their own trade goods; now almost everyone works for someone else, primarily one of the major corporations or franchises that have become the backbone of our deteriorating economy.I know, some of you are at this very moment shaking your heads and wondering just how anyone could claim that our economy is cancered. Before you click away, just take a few moments to hear me out and give this American an opportunity  to enlighten you on his point of view.

One has to keep in mind that people detest responsibility, individuals and orginazations will shirk it whenever they find it convenient to do so. They do however enjoy buying things for themselves and on the occasion other people, especially when it benefits them to do so, otherwise we will hang onto our dollars until we have a good reason to let them go. We like to have nice things and we want them to look nice, form over functionality. SUV's guzzles gasoline faster than "The Fox" drinks beer; but man they really look sharp. When you were a teenager which car did you want? Was it the sleek new sports car or the fuel efficient compact? 

So now you are in the local mall's parking lot with your pretty car and as you are backing up, another fellow trys to pull into that spot, for whatever reason he did not see you... probably because of all the SUV's you parked between and now you have a sizeable dent in your rear fender. It's ugly - but the fender did what it is supposed to do and absorb the shock of the impact leaving you completely unscathed. You were in the right of way, now you have a choice to make. Accept the fact that your vehicle is still totally functional and go on your way, or make sure that this butthole pays to make your car pretty again. I can tell you the choice that most people would make.
