Isn't it sickening how much the government has become a part of our daily lives? There was once a time when the goverment worked for it's people, now we are being enslaved by our own government. My grandparents (my favorite people in the world) relish the memories of the good old days. I could write forever and ever and ever about "the good old days" that my grandparents speak so fondly of. But alot of you guys here already know what i'm talking about if you've been around the block a few times. There once was a time when:
You could walk the streets at night without fear of being mugged or raped
You could leave the doors on your house unlocked a night
There were no teen pregnancies, mass shootings and drug counselors in schools
But most importantly there was a time when the goverment was made for the people, by the people. Now our goverment is a monster, eating us alive, and it's getting worse every day.
Someday they are going to tell us when we can and can't breath.
I want to smash my TV every time I see a green commercial or hear about some smog issue in a big city. What we can be doing about it or what we should or shouldn't do about it.
I'm 17 and have never had a blood test. Nor do I plan to ever have one. If my lead levels are high, it's nobody's business but my own. Should an EPA inventigator visit my house, i'll show him a nice shiny lead ingot and shove it where the sun don't shine. Call me paranoid, but I hate the society we live in today, I will never give into it. People are so afraid of their goverment.. I think it's the goverment who should be afraid of their people.
I think now I'm going to go watch a good 60's show on TV and pretend I'm living in that era or something.
The 60's were my grandparents favorite years. They made it sound like a really enjoyable time to be alive, I wish I could have been there with them. I know I know. Even years ago the world still had it's problems. I imagine having to dig a bomb shelter in your backyard was very scary back then. But it was certainly a better time to be alive compared to today. I know, I should be enjoying the world I live in today at a young 17 years old, that way when i'm 90 I can look back and say "those were the good old days". I guess we are always living in the "good old days", but never realize it until 30 years has passed by.
