Laura's Thoughts

It has been a week since my last post and I would like to tell you, the readers of this blog, why.

As hard as it is for me to say this --- I feel that the U.S. is a lost cause and there is no American Solution anymore. Don't get me wrong – I am glad that President Obama won the vote – however, he has yet to accomplish anything notable; not that he hasn't tried, and more that this is a country divided.

There will never be decent health care in the U.S. I exited what could have been a decent job back in 1992, when I was denied health insurance because of pre-existing conditions. Today most employers do not offer employees health insurance anyway, except at the management level. Face it – everyone can't be the manager. In my opinion if an employer cannot afford to cover employees, then that employer shouldn't be in business. The employers of today are an entire forest away from the employers of the mid to late 20th century. No more job security or real benefits are available to Americans, unless one works for the government. I know that I will pass on that one.

Too many Americans do not give a crap about their fellow citizens or the rest of the world. It is all me, me, me, me, and me. I need, I want, I must have – seem to be instilled in the early years here. In many cities those that do care enough to distribute meals to the homeless are arrested and prosecuted. Orlando is one of those cities – God help anyone that gets in the way of Lake Eola business owners! Someone attempting to view the broken fountain might find their view blocked by a human being without a home to go to.

In short, for me there is little left to argue about. Whatever.
