My wife and were both blessed with healthy tax returns and an even healthier bonus program in the Month of March, so I went shopping to support my, often-times, unreasonable technology fetish. I picked up the Celestron 70 telescope from Frys in Irving last week, hoping to see, for the first time, the rings of Saturn as well as its largest moon Titan, and the moons of Jupiter. The scope has a 70mm Aperture, a 900mm Focal Length, and a really crummy tripod; Kerry and John Edwards jaunt about the countryside, touting a message of hope for all of those starving American children, we have one in six who are considered overweight? For all of those familys who have suffered under the terrible, thoughtless ineptitude of President Bush, for all of those whose very existence is living day-to-day on the governmental food stamp programs; How awful it must be for those, poor, bloated teenagers to have to face mockery from their own peers. I mean, you never hear of children of average weight and height going on shooting rampages in schools. I think it would be prudent if all of those welfare-fed families were awarded millions by compassionate judges for their pain, and suffering. Those poor people, who eat at McDonalds every day because they are forced to by the subliminal messages smattered across billboards, and by the gun wielding capitalists forcing Whoppers down their throats, should be protected from all of that evil. Just where are these parents trading in their food stamps for cash to buy fast food? What other century provided free, up-scale housing for the homeless, because it would make them feel like poor people if they lived in bad neighborhoods? Why give them something to work for when they can have it all for free? No matter that the very neighbors whose property values are plummeting had to go to work every day to get where they are. What a wonderous time we live in, when children have enough food that they arent malnourished. I would like to see statistics regarding the failing of personal responsibility. It wasnt because the rich kept getting richer on the backs of those who kept getting poorer. My father was too proud to be told what to do by a plant supervisor. It was because he would rather have spent the food stamps on cough medicines in support of a self-imposed Codeine addiction. He would rather have spent my paper-route money on a bottle of vodka and a can of orange juice. I think I had two McDonald hamburgers in my lifetime, up until I was thirteen.
