What have we become?

" A person with great wisdom is someone with extraordinary common sense"

Each and every day I hear the same complains. Taxes are too high!! The government is not doing enough to help us out!! I believe that common sense is dead, because these 2 statements are contradictory.

What is happening right now in the USA, as their government is headed toward socialism is an example of the thinking of the masses. They are getting what they are asking for. More government, less freedom and nobody sees it!

Now I know what some people are thinking, we need to help those "in need'. Agreed! But in need should not last for generations! Right now Canada's taxes are going to pay for a family to go to the ER because their kids have got colds, yet Mom and Dad smoke like chimneys, drink constantly and feed the kids at McDonald's every night, wondering why they are sick and want the government (TAXES) to pay for their medical.

Now it is your right to smoke and drink and abuse your body(this is a free country), but you need to be responsible for the consequences of YOUR actions, not the government. Need better health care? Private sector, lot's of competition, solid regulations that are enforced, with people to taking responsibility to take care of themselves!

Where can or does the government come in? Catastrophic accident and illness ONLY! This would cut costs, cut government involvement, and make sure no one is left out! But there I go with that common sense thing again. (Washington and Ottawa won't get this)

People it is time to become self sufficient and independent. The government's job should be to fix the roads, protect the country by securing the borders and provide certain services like garbage collection. Other than that stay out of our lives.

I encourage everyone to take charge of their lives. Watch what you are putting in your body on a daily basis, and what you are feeding your mind. Help others to do the same. We will then create a strong and healthy nation, were everyone enjoys prosperity.

How do you start?

1. Quit smoking!
2. Cut down on the booze
3. Remove drugs from your life
4. Watch the crap you are eating. Try cooking, it works
5. Turn off the TV - Read!
6. Get out and go for a walk, bike, run, try martial arts, do something!
7. Quit complaining, you'll feel better!
8. Stop looking for others to solve your problems
9. Eliminate hate from your life
10. Work on being HAPPY, no matter what!

All of these things my friends are common sense. You will see a dramatic difference in your life very soon!
