Well, it is Friday, the last day of November, 2012, evening, and I just watched the evening news. My blood pressure, I am sure, is up, pulse rate is quickening, and I think I am suffering, somewhat, from a state of shock. I just have to quite watching the news, and just pretend like everything is alright in the world.
The East coast is almost on the brink of riots over the response they are receiving to help them get back to normal after Sandy. The West coast is having way too much rain, and much more expected this weekend.
There are riots in a number of places around the world, our country is possibly on the brink of disaster, fiscally, and an agreement between the two parties seems sketchy, at least.
But, probably only in America, along with all that disaster, we have lottery winners of millions of dollars, and only in America, many of those who have won huge amounts in the past, are now broke.
One good story about a New York policeman who gave a homeless man a pair of socks and winter boots, caught on camera and posted for the world to see.
All of this happening a few days after a "record setting" shopping weekend. Are we a great country, or what?
