Wondering WTF

The high and ever rising price of oil and thus the price of gas is but enough to drive a person mad, while big corps watch from the windows of their offices fresh suit & tie they laugh. Just as politicians are content to sit hold counsel behind closed doors, drafting unwritten agreements each planning to do very much in the way of forever achieving nothing, yet place blame on each other when questioned by the voting public. So quick they say , “it’s the Presidents fault,” so quick to quick to tear him down, expect “his people
to lift him up.

I’m wondering WHAT THE FUCK?

The fate of man has truly gone off course, no matter the color of skin it appears that each day more and more people are losing their jobs, even teachers. The numbers of those who fail to posses the proper education and skills to fill the openings available are growing, while others with talents beyond that of many are constantly being overlooked. But everyday a new ‘g’ is being added by cell phone providers, a new device that is ‘must have’ is coming out, each day there is new location, a new way for the public to spend money. It seems as though everyone, EVERYONE has either a Facebook, a Twitter, or some other form of social media connection, yet the numbers of those with stock portfolio, a bond certificate, a form of trade account, a 401(k) or knowledge of what each is, isn’t even 15% of the total number of accounts. By the way, that 15% is a global figure or total in the world, but here in the United States alone. Want another? The total number of Apple iTune & App download purchases made each in the US alone is more than 70% of the total amount of trades(Currency, Stock, Option) placed on a per month basis in households across America. Each years Americans spend more money, i.e. personal wealth, on entertainment than on financial education. Pretty funny, actually pretty sad, seeing as each is so quick to cry and complain the moment that CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, or some other media outlet brings up the National Debt and where the United States of America compares to the rest of the world. And yet when folks see the eviction notice on the door of a friend or relative, see the foreclosure sign on the lawn of the house down the street, we wonder how this could happen. How? Because we let the blind lead, we give in to temptation of purchase, while giving up on the pursuit of wealth, leading the realization of nightmare when we wake up from the dream.

Again I wonder WHAT THE FUCK?

The fragile minds of tomorrow are being commercialized to death due to schools placing less and less emphasis on what is truly important. From the basics such as spelling, grammar, handwriting. Tell me, how can a child truly express their ideas if the child doesn’t know how to properly articulate or convey it? There are more children who know what shorthand acronyms are than there are who know the true definition and meaning of the words used. Our vocabulary is being ruined because it has become easier to accept ignorance, in our schools, on television, and especially in music.

When and why is it cool that your child can’t write a story or recite back a sentence read to them, but they can hit every not on a Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, or Katy Perry CD? Since when has it become acceptable for children as young as 8 to get makeovers, but they can’t make their bed or tie their shows? Too much is being lost and wasted tomorrow, because in today’s world too few care enough to teach.

With me now, someone…WHAT THE FUCK?

The events of today, in Japan, the situation that continues to develop in Iran, the protests that recently ended in Egypt, the Earthquake in New Zealand, the firestorm of lessons laid out both around the globe and even here on our beloved & treasured soil, should be taken as sign, that never is a happy tomorrow ever a guarantee. Even in your local community/city, your should eyes should see, your mind should be aware, and your heart must feel that the path that we are all on, if left unchanged by those who can, will indeed lead to the destruction of us all.

And I now I ask:

 What are you willing to do about it?
