it's been a while

Okay so I know it's been a lil bit since I've posted but I feel it's about time. I've had some personal things to take care of and get straight recently and now that those are done it's time to get back to posting.

So what have I missed? Fort Hood terrorist? Nope I caught that one. I'm still just trying to figure out why he's being treated better than someone arrested for GTA right now, but then again, I'm not in law enforcement so what really do I know.

Navy Seals catching a terrorist suspect and busting his lip in the process, yep caught that one. I wish I had it on camera so it could be shown in court that they didn't cause excessive physical harm to the poor delicate flower of a terrorist they caught. Geezo, the poor sap's lucky he doesn't have a bullet hole through his head right now. 4 American soldiers catch one of the top wanted terrorists and have the restraint to not shoot him a bazillion times, but to bring him in to be tried in a military court and then they get all that thrown at them. Wow, makes you wonder what would have happened if they had to use real force to bring him in and would have broke his arm or dislocated his shoulder.

Massachusetts Senatorial race? Nope been hearing about that one too. I feel this race is more pivotal than the other races that have happened since BHO has taken office as Mass is known as a "democratic" seat and a guaranteed vote for anything liberal or pro-Democrat. If (and I hope when) Scott Brown wins it will mark the second shift in the tides with the first being the tea parties and other various "gatherings" that have happened in the world since the media's promotion of BHO to the office of POTUS.

Haiti earthquake? Nope I did manage to hear about that one through the cracks too. While I do feel for the people of Haiti and understand and realize they're in a time of need right now, there is a limit on how much people are capable to do. Am I able to give $50,000 to donate to relief/help efforts in Haiti no. Would I like to be able to and know it won't effect my personal budget for me and my family, heck yes I would, and anyone who wouldn't is crazy. However there has to be a fine line between giving to benefit a person or group of people who have had a disaster hit them and helping someone to destroy yourself and your family.

Next time you go to write that check with a comma in it for a disaster relief think about this... How many disasters could happen in America without any other country in the world batting an eyelash at it, but once it happens somewhere other than America... If we're not banging down the door to give aid to other countries until it hurts we're the villains. Where's the balance at? Yes I do realize there's people who's life work is to help those who are in disaster areas their whole life and help them out, and there's also those people who are tightfisted and won't give up a dime to help those people even though they bring the collection basket around to them, they don't even have to get up to do it. So why isn't there a balance in how the aid is produced between countries also?
