schools.
Learning computer repair and cooking. I also enjoy watching my boys play
for their football teams.!! I am not a soccer mom, i am a football mom.
Music: I have to say I like alot of the new stuff but my
heart and button pushing finger seems to end up on classic rock stations,
basically 70's rock!!! I do try to keep an open mind about music, i
remember my parents thinking Alice Cooper was satanic. But what is this
Mosh pit stuff?????
Bad habits: Well, really only have a few, really!! I spend much to
much time playing online and I shop even when I dont need anything. I
drink way too much Diet Pepsi. Thats it. See aren't I awful?

Some people might call me cruel
or harsh. Some people may say I can't make those judgements until I have
walked in that persons shoes. Well I have walked in my own shoes. I have
had hard lumps in my life, like many of us in the real world. The
difference is, I never blamed others or expected others to help me. I
fought each battle alone or with my family and friends. My parents died
when I was 19, at 22 I almost lost my husband in a car accident, kids
where drag racing and put him in a coma. Real life and real life
problems! My own experiences have taught me that its not the government
that is going to solve these problems, its me. In fact I would have a
better life if the government would stay out of it more.
One example is welfare, people often say welfare is necessary, its a
safety net. I understand that there are some people that truly need help
but I can't see any reason in the world where anyone needs to be on the
dole for over a few months. I have lived in several parts of this country
and have always been able to find some kind of work. Not always glamorous,
not always big money but I am not to proud to work hard for my family. I
think people of today have forgotten those values. They say, I can make
more on welfare then I can going to work so why bother. Maybe personal
responsibility is just old fashion, maybe it is not pc but I know one
thing. I can't think of anyone or anything that can do better for you then
you!! Sitting back waiting for some one to save you and fix all your woes
in insane.
The law suits on tobacco companies in another prime example of not taking
responsibilty for your own actions. We as adults are all fully aware of
the dangers involved in smoking. It is a personal choice and we know its a
chance we are taking every time we light up. To later become sick and
blame others is again insane. No one forced you to light that smoke. You
made the choice , you should deal with the consequences.
In the state I live in "Washington" the bartenders in this area have to
take a 6 hour course called "tips" (this is in addition to all the other
licenses and training.). It teaches you how to spot a drunk. It also
teaches you that if you serve some one a drink and they go kill someone,
you the bartender can and will be found liable. When did it become my job
to babysit you when you drink. When the government stepped in and said it
is. Imagine, you are not capable to say I can't drink another because I
have to drive. Its up to me to make you angry and tell you no more or I
can be faced with a lawsuit.
It's almost laughable how we are going to these extremes and it is
laughable to see what extremes we are going through to protect ourselves.
The other day, my sons birthday present was a bat man outfit. Stamped in
big red letters on the cape it read "warning, wearing cape does not enable
wearer to fly". I am sure that was put there for no other reason then to
protect them from lawsuits. We have all seen the bucket warnings. It has
a picture of a baby with its head in the bucket with a big red circle and
slash through it, to tell us we shouldn't allow babies to put there heads
in buckets full of water. How far must it go! I dont know, but I do know I
will continue to take responsibilty for myself as long as I am able. I
sure hope you do to.

Personal Responsibility
Personal responsibility, it sounds so simple, so logical and so natural.
Too bad, so many in our society have forgotten exactly how it works. Its
easy just take responsibilty for yourself, your actions and your life!!!
From the law suits on tobacco companies to wellfare. From the drunk that
killed someone and the bartender gets sued, to spilling hot coffee on
yourself and sueing the person who sold you the coffee . Of course there
are injustices in the world and sometimes bad things happen to good
people, but I think if everyone would just concentrate taking care of
their own, this world we be a better place.
