You make your dreams come true.

A very long time ago I started thinking about what are the contributing factors to social issues. I can to the conclusion that there is a social force that creates destructive attitudes in people. Then, I came to the conclusion that this creation of destructive attitudes is deliberate.

It helps liberals, whether in politics or in the media, to have people buy in to their emotional diatribe about fairness and justice.

It by all means is sad that people suffer in life. However, it is even sadder that most human hardship is due to “self-inflicted” wounds. No one tells you to drop out of school, not go to college, fight with your employers, get pregnant, or get some one pregnant.

Liberals, however, want people to feel sympathetic for the teen unable to learn about intimacy because of a social repression that does not allow sexual exploration. Well here is something for you to ponder. We are more than sexual beings.

We must work. We must treat each other with respect. Children need lots of attention. Nothing gets accomplished, if no one goes about the business of making it happen.

All of this rhetoric leads me to my central point. Mr. Bush was right on most of his policies.

Retirement should be a personal responsibility. Any one waiting on social security is a fool. Even though the democrats scared all the senior citizens by making them believe president Bush was going to cancel all their monthly checks and throw them out in to the streets, Social Security reform was necessary.

Which means though government has not acted, you have to act for your self. You should start saving and investing. Government will not reform Social Security because politicians like having a deep pool of money to borrow from and not have to pay it back, i.e. your Social Security.

In addition, the public education environment has gotten worse. I worked as a substitute teacher for almost eight years. In that time I saw a lot of mentally distressed people trying to teach your children. My best advice to you is to take your kids out of the public school system and home school them.

Life is about to get harder. Personal goals will only be possible is people are able to gauge the elements of their environment appropriately. Public education clouds the developing person’s judgment with a false reality. Success requires blood, sweat, and tears, not just dreaming and good feelings.

Moreover, you dreams are your dreams and not the dreams of politicians. Let them tend to their own miserable lives. All they are supposed to do is keep a balance among the members of society. You rights end were my rights begin. What I have earned belongs to me. No politicians should be practicing “wealth distribution”.
You get sick; you go to the doctor and pay your bill. You finance a home with a “variable rate” mortgage; you have to pay when the monthly payment goes up.

Moreover, members in society do not have to love you or accept you because you decide to have sex with some one of your own gender. I find it interesting how many people I know that are very polite when the gay person is around, but resort to ridiculing that person when that person leaves. There is still and always will be a negative reaction to homosexual relationships.

Therefore, let these politicians make all the promises they want. You be smart and realize that the only person who can make your dreams come true is you.
