Ok, I have gotten several emails in regards to my previous topics and I must say thanks to each of you for the support. And I promise to each of you to write more. So for your pleasure here we go again......
Open your minds and eyes and proceed....
We live in a country that has several downsides and one of our most famous departments of ignorance is the justice system. Rapper T.I. is serving a year and one day in prison for purchasing guns and Michael Vick is serving a nearly two year sentence (23 months) for dogfighting. T.I. didn't kill anyone and Michael Vick was stripped of everything that he worked hard for, due to a dead dog. Is this logical????? Of course not, because NFL player Donte Stallworth drove overly intoxicated in his Bentley in Florida after a night of partying, veered off the road and killed a construction worker as the victim sat waiting for a bus and luckily, he was ordered a lifetime driving suspension which after 5 years will be upgraded to limited driving privileges..... So how is it a lifetime suspension???? Not to mention that Mr. Stallworth will be responsible for paying $2500 to "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" and an undisclosed amount of money to the family of the victim. Oh yeah, he must also complete 1000 hours of community service and remain on house arrest for 2 years after completing his 30-day prison sentence.
Mr. Stallworth got a slap on the wrist for killing someone's father, uncle, cousin or in best terms a "human being" and Michael Vick is nearly broke and serving time for dogs. I know that each of you reading this have as much respect for our justice system as I do

Lets be serious.....
Many years ago, laws were created by officials of whom were white, every president before 2008 was white, 99% of all Higher Authority over our land until the last 10-20 years has been white, so why is it that everything said, wore or otherwise done by the Obama Camp seems to have backfire every day in the media. Whether you're African American, Asian, Hispanic, Jamaican or otherwise, if you live in the United States of America, you live, work and pay taxes to a country that is based on 100 year old laws that your ancestors had no right to vote for. So whose law is it and why are we forced to live by it? We all serve as slaves to a country that our ancestors have built but we are left to pay taxes on everything within it. Get a job...pay taxes, buy a car....pay taxes, buy land....pay taxes, buy a house....pay taxes, buy groceries, pay utilities....pay taxes. Our entire being is based on paying for higher authority to control how much of our money that they are obligated to. Read that again, it's fact!!! We have quickly forgotten that the world is in an economic downfall because of President Bush and that many of our Americans have died fighting a senseless war for a country that has the money to pay off companies and the expenses of white collars who have awarded themselves with million dollar bonuses while doing nothing more than living off of tax payers money, and those same people will allow fallen soldiers' families to become homeless.

Today, I will start a series of topics that seem very comical to me. Each topic comes from what we have been taught to believe is the normal way of life.
Today's Topic: What is a tax????
I know what we have been taught to believe, but honestly, what is a tax? America is called the land of the FREE, but there's nothing free in this country for the citizens of America. Fact 1: You go to work to complete labor to have the necessities that God has provided us with; which are food, water, and shellter as well as our "wants" that the world has to offer. Now is this logical that we are paying for water that is generally controlled by the city in which we live? The city is in turn controlled by a system that is a part of the government for whom we have to pay taxes. Huh??? We ride on pothole-filled and buckled roads daily that wear down our automobiles, we can't forget that money is running short for medicare, and educating the youth has been the least of the government's concern for some time now, so what is a tax and what has all the taxes paid in paid for? Fact 2: You open a business that you have to pay taxes for while the employees pay taxes to complete labor to keep the business in business.... Huh??? Ok people, you pay taxes on land that YOU own. Does any of this seem logical? If it does then you enjoy riding over potholes, you enjoy that people around you are being denied medical assistance because we live in a country that doesn't provide free medical assistance, you enjoy children being deprived a good education, and you must enjoy the fact that you are paying taxes on everything you purchase, on everything you own, and everytime that you've worked to prevent all these things from happening.
Hello blog community!!! Interesting isn't it---how hard it is for our government to help out tax paying citizens in this time of economic crunch. Insane it is that we work and pay taxes so that CEOs and other top collars of the companies that employ us can receive million dollar bonuses and take extravagant trips, while in turn the government soaks up the ticket with a bail out plan. So what happened to bailing out the citizens who deserve it, why is this such a hard decision?? The government bailed out companies and the companies laid off workers. So what happens now??? Do we as citizens simply continue to crumble as survival gets tougher, be homeless because we are unable to prevent foreclosure, endure the lost of friends and family members due to suicide, or do we stand behind "CHANGE." Change is not an overnight conquerable obstacle, but it can direct us as a country back up the ladder of comfortable living.
Many are upset, others are happy about the jury's decision to send O.J. Simpson to jail. O.J. was sentenced to no less than 9 years and up to 33 years in prison for his actions in a Las Vegas hotel room on September 13, 2007. He was found guilty by the jury and sentenced by Judge Jackie Glass, who repetitively acknowledged that her decision was not based on Mr. Simpson's 1995 acquittal in the murder case of Simpson's ex-wife and her boyfriend. The Goldmans' were more than happy with the decision, a point that was made clear by the Goldmans during a news interview after the court proceedings. O.J. Simpson is now a 61-year old man, how much time will he spend in prison? We do not know. Is this karma for O.J.? We do not know. What we do know is that O.J. committed a crime by taking weapons and an entourage to recover items that belonged to him. So O.J. will spend the next 9 to 33 years in prison for robbing someone of his own belongings. This could have been handled differently and all could have been avoided. Though it's all totally INSANE and a case of pure stupidity to me!!!
